When most people think about home safety, they picture smoke alarms, security systems, or sturdy locks on the doors. But few realize that the biggest danger inside a home can’t be seen, smelled, or touched — it’s radon gas.
Radon is an invisible radioactive gas that forms naturally from the decay of uranium in soil and rock. It seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, gaps around pipes, and other openings. Because it has no color, odor, or taste, the only way to know it’s there is through radon testing.
