Utah Radon Defense

Most people have heard that the EPA recommends fixing radon levels at 4.0 pCi/L or higher — but what many homeowners don’t realize is that there is no safe level of radon exposure. The lower your levels, the better.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that you can’t see, smell, or taste, and the only way to know your home’s levels is to test. Even newer homes, clean homes, and homes with no basement can have elevated radon levels. In Utah, high radon is extremely common because of our soil composition.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the soil beneath your home. It has no smell, color, or taste, so most people have no idea it’s there—but it can build up indoors and become a serious health risk over time. In fact, radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. The only way to know your levels is to test, and if they’re high, mitigation systems can safely reduce it and protect your home.
