According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) it is estimated that 20,000 American lives are taken by lung cancer deaths each year caused by radon. Its presence in your home can pose a danger to your family's health. Radon is a cancer-causing natural radioactive gas that you can’t see, smell or taste. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer and is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. 

How can I tell if there is radon in my home?

There are a few methods of testing levels of radon in a home. The simplest tests are DIY home test kits.  A collection device is supplied with each test that you let sit in your home for a few days.  The collection device is then sent to a lab where a lab analysis is done to determine the levels of radon present.  You typically get the results back within a few weeks.  Most home test kits charge a lab fee in addition to the cost of the kit.  The other option is to have a professional such as All In One come to your home and perform an on-site test.  We can quickly determine the levels of radon present in your home and even talk with you about mitigation strategies.
