Residents all across North Carolina are preparing for what actions they plan to take this radon action month. Many of us in the south question the true threat level of radon gas, but if you knew the statistics, you may be more ready to take action this January. It is important to start planning your actions now, as you do not want another year to pass you by inhaling this dangerous, cancer causing gas.
Radon gas kills 20,000 people nationally each year. This is a compelling statistic for you to take action during radon action month. If this is not enough, it is shocking to know that one out of every fifteen homes has high levels of radon gas that need to be treated. If you have been discussing having your Raleigh home tested for this gas, radon action month is the perfect time to schedule your testing, or have a professional install a system on your home.
Many Raleigh residents may be curious of how they should go about taking action during radon action month. The first thing you may do is have a professional test your home for radon gas. This will give you a good idea of just how in danger you are, and what actions may be needed. If your levels are low, you will not need to take any further action. If your levels are high, you will need the help of a certified mitigation company, such as S.W.A.T. Environmental, to conduct mitigation on your home. If your levels are low, you will need to remember to reschedule testing in two years.
