New Hampshire consistently ranks among the states with elevated radon levels. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms from the breakdown of uranium in soil. It is invisible, odorless, and tasteless — meaning testing is the only way to detect it.
Radon enters homes through foundation cracks, sump pits, slab penetrations, and crawl spaces. Long-term exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
Radon testing is especially important in Southern New Hampshire due to regional geology. Even homes next door to one another can have significantly different radon levels.
If elevated levels are detected, mitigation systems are highly effective and relatively affordable compared to the long-term health risks.
A simple test can provide peace of mind for years to come.
