Radon: The Silent Home Hazard You Need to Know About

What Is Radon and Why Should You Care?

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps into homes through soil, foundations, and crawl spaces. You can’t see, smell, or taste it—but it’s a serious health risk. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., just behind smoking. Whether you live in Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, or Rock Hill, every home in North Carolina and South Carolina is at risk.

When Is Radon Dangerous?

Radon levels are measured in picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The EPA recommends mitigation if your levels reach or exceed 4.0 pCi/L. Even levels between 2.0 and 4.0 pCi/L can pose long-term health risks.
