Did you know Radon exposure is the #1 cause of Lung Cancer in non-smoking Americans? I'm not an alarmist and don't casually throw out statistics unless I know it will potentially impact my clients and friends.
You can see from the EPA Map, that Middle Tennessee is a pretty high-risk geographic area for Radon exposure. Radon is a colorless, odorless and tasteless radioactive gas.
The good news is you CAN test your home (or potential home)for Radon levels to determine if you should be concerned. If you find you have Radon levels higher than EPA's recommendation for safety, it CAN be mitigated with the installation of a special system.
Why not schedule a Radon test for your home this month to ensure your family's safety? Many home inspectors can set up a Radon monitor and provide you with the analysis of the results. for more information on Radon and National Radon Action Month visit http://preview.tinyurl.com/y5f26n
If you need help finding a reputable source for testing, email me at Dawne@bobparks.com or visit ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors)for a list of qualified home inspectors who you can contact about Radon testing. http://www.ashi.org/find/default.aspx
