Maine Radon : Maine Radon Pros

If you’re not aware of the potential health hazards of Maine radon, let me introduce your to the Maine Radon Pros. These Maine radon professionals know all there is to know about Radon, especially here in Maine. In case you weren’t aware, Radon is the second largest leading cause of lunch cancer among non-smoking adults in the US. Radon is naturally occurring radioactive material that comes from different types of bedrock. The thing that makes radon so dangerous is that it has no odor, color or taste, even if it’s super high levels. There are different ways in which radon can enter our homes and office buildings.

Main radon gets into our homes in a gad form through both natural foundations and even poured concrete foundations. It can even get into your water supply if you get your water through a drilled well on your property. Radon can even penetrate through into homes that have slab foundations. The homes that are most at risk from high levels of radon are homes that were built over sand and gravel. If you leave your home untreated for high levels of radon it could lead to lung cancer.

If you’re a Maine resident your home could be the 1 in 3 that test for high levels of Maine radon. Leaving yourself exposed could be the same as if you were smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. There is no level at which radon is considered safe. If you’ve never had your home or office building tested for radon, it is time!
