Living in Michigan comes with its perks: beautiful seasons, the Great Lakes, and friendly communities. But there’s one hidden factor to consider when it comes to your home’s safety – radon gas.
What is Radon?
Radon is a colorless, odorless, and radioactive gas that occurs naturally from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It can seep into your home through cracks in the foundation, crawl spaces, or wells.
Why Should You Care About Radon? ☢️
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers according to the EPA. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels can be dangerous, so testing your home is crucial for protecting yourself and your family.
How Common is Radon in Michigan?
Michigan is considered a high-risk state for radon. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality estimates that one out of every four homes in the state has elevated radon levels. That’s a significant number!
