As a homeowner in Michigan, protecting your family’s health and well-being is a top priority. While you may be focused on keeping your home warm during the chilly winter months, there’s another important environmental concern that should not be overlooked: radon exposure. Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can seep into your home from the ground, posing serious health risks. At Sandison Plumbing Heating Cooling Electrical, we offer expert radon mitigation services to help protect your home and family from the dangers of radon exposure.
What is Radon and Why is it Dangerous?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It can enter homes through cracks in the foundation, walls, and floors, and accumulate to dangerous levels over time. Long-term exposure to radon has been linked to serious health issues, including lung cancer. In fact, radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, after smoking.
How to Detect Radon in Your Home
The only way to know if radon is present in your home is through testing. Since radon is odorless and invisible, you can't rely on your senses to detect it. Radon testing kits are available, but for accurate and reliable results, it’s best to rely on a professional. Sandison offers expert radon testing, ensuring that your home is thoroughly tested for any potential radon issues.
Signs of Radon Exposure
While there are no immediate symptoms of radon exposure, long-term exposure can lead to serious health concerns. If you or your family members experience any of the following, it’s important to have your home tested for radon:
- Persistent coughing
- Shortness of breath
- Unexplained weight loss
- Chest pain or wheezing
Even if you’re not experiencing symptoms, it’s still a good idea to have your home tested for radon, especially if you live in an area known for higher radon levels.
Radon Mitigation: What It Is and How It Works
Radon mitigation is the process of reducing radon levels in your home. If testing reveals high levels of radon, Sandison can install a radon mitigation system that works to vent radon gas outside, away from your living spaces. Our experienced technicians will assess your home’s unique needs and implement a customized solution to effectively reduce radon exposure.
