Radon is a radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer. It is found in the air and water, and it can enter homes through cracks in the foundation or through the water supply. Radon testing is the only way to know if your home has high levels of radon.
There are two main types of radon tests: short-term tests and long-term tests. Short-term tests are less expensive and take less time to complete, but they are not as accurate as long-term tests. Long-term tests are more expensive and take longer to complete, but they are more accurate.
