RADON.

You can't see it. You can't smell it.
And in Northeast Ohio — it's probably in the basement.

The Facts // WHAT IT IS

Radon is a radioactive gas produced when uranium in soil and rock breaks down. It seeps up through foundations, cracks, sump pits, and crawlspaces — and concentrates inside the home.

It is invisible, odorless, and tasteless. The only way to know if a home has elevated radon is to test it.

Why It Matters // HEALTH

Long-term exposure to elevated radon (4.0 pCi/L or higher) significantly raises lifetime lung cancer risk — especially for smokers, children, and anyone spending years in the home.

A radon test is the cheapest insurance policy a homebuyer can buy.
