RADON.... WHAT IS IT???

Radon, where does it come from?

PRODUCTION: Radon is not produced as a commercial product. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas and comes from the natural breakdown (radioactive decay) of uranium. It is usually found in igneous rock and soil, but in some cases, well water may also be a source of radon.

HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF A RADON PROBLEM?

Performing work to lower indoor radon levels is called radon mitigation. Radon mitigation is the process of installing a vent pipe and fan system within a home to reduce indoor radon levels. There are many ways to mitigate radon. The most common and effective is a vent pipe and fan outside the home or building. This radon mitigation system removes radon from under the foundation and vents it above the roof line of the house so that it does not enter the home.   Order your test kit at www.mallonconstructionandradon.com
