The Dangers of Radon
Radon gas is something that forms in the Earth naturally due to uranium breaking down over the course of several years.
It’s a radioactive, colorless and odorless gas, so its presence in your home will easily go undetected without the right equipment to look for it.
That doesn’t stop it from being harmful, however.
Many of the dangers that radon poses include:
- Cancer
- Respiratory lesions
- Emphysema
- Genetic Damage
How at risk a person is to any of these health problems goes up with the length of exposure to radon gas as it permeates throughout the home or office, so it would be in your best interest to resort to testing and eventually radon abatement in Maryland as soon as possible.
Where Radon Comes From
As stated, radon is a byproduct of a naturally occurring element.
Since it comes from the ground, it most often finds its way into homes through the foundation, but it isn’t unheard of for radon to travel by way of the water supply either.
Places like cracks in the walls and openings in service pipes are all ideal entryways for radon gas to find its way into your home, so radon mitigation may be absolutely necessary depending on how long these problems have existed.
Testing for Radon
Radon is measured in picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L) and radon testing will look for the amount of gas circulating through the air in your home.
If the amount of gas found exceeds 2.0 pCi/L then getting rid of the gas found has to take priority over everything else.
Maryland radon abatement usually involves using suction pipes to draw radon gas to the basement where a fan will vent them into the air outside the house and has proven extremely effective in ridding homes of radon.
Once you get rid of the gas, you can monitor levels by installing a radon detector that will notify you when radon levels become threatening again.
This will allow you to catch and get rid of the danger before it can pose a threat to the health and safety of the building occupants again.

"I recently had ASAP perform radon testing on a new house that I had just bought because the original homeowners didn’t know when the radon levels in the house had last been tested.
It was good thing too, because the contractor that ASAP sent out told me that the levels of radon in the house were approaching dangerous levels and that I should have it dealt with as quickly as I could.
I hate to think what might have happened if I hadn’t called to have the house tested.
Thanks ASAP!"
