Home Owners. Raleigh Radon.

Studies have suggested that Americans spend as much as 90% of their time indoors, breathing air that can be up to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. Awareness is growing about the importance of indoor air quality, and many people are making easy "green" changes in their homes.  

With a few simple steps, you can reduce your home's indoor air pollutants and improve the overall indoor air quality.  One step many home owners are taking is converting to natural cleaning products to reduce their exposure to harsh chemicals.  

Another simple step home owners can take is to test their home for radon gas. The EPA and the U.S. Surgeon General recommend that every home in the United States be tested for radon, regardless of location and foundation type.  Radon testing takes just 48 hours and has little to no interference with the home owners' lifestyle.

It's never too late to reduce your radon-related health risks.

The best way to protect your family from the health risks associated with radon exposure is to test your home.  Knowing your home's average indoor radon level will help you gauge your health risk and decide whether or not to reduce your exposure.  Click here to learn more about the health risks associated with radon.

Radon testing during real estate transactions is increasing as Triangle residents become more aware of the risks of radon exposure.  When you decide to sell your home, it is very likely that a potential buyer will test it for radon, in addition to conducting other standard inspections.  If the radon levels are elevated, you (as the home owner) will likely incur the expense of radon mitigation.

Why not reap the benefits of radon mitigation while you're still living in the home?  Reducing your exposure to radon reduces your risk of developing lung cancer.  Even if you've lived in your home for many years, it's never too late to establish a healthy home for you and your family.
