If you have radon gas in your home, you have a big problem on your hands. Why is that? Radon gas is the second leading cause for lung cancer in adults, so prolonged exposure to this gas in concentrations that are above the accepted limit will be harmful for you.
Radon gas occurs naturally, and it travels up from the ground finding the path of least resistance. If that means your basement, then you will have to take action. If your basement has a lot of cracks, it is possible that you might remedy the situation by patching it up very well, but you should make sure to have it tested both before and after to see if the levels dropped off enough for you to be safe.
If that isn’t enough, you will need to have channels and fans installed underneath your foundation to direct the gas away from your home and harmlessly get released outside.
