You and your neighbor could have cookie cutter identical homes, and it’s still possible for your energy efficiency to vary. If you’ve have windows replaced, if they redid their roof a few years ago or replaced it. Sometimes and addition or areas where modifications to the insulation are made can strongly effect your efficiency. Then there is simple construction error, where a crew missed putting in insulation, or didn’t level the window frame correctly and a small hole or gap exists. Older homes especially suffer from ailments like these.

What is Radon?

It is actually the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers in the US. It has no odor, taste, or color even at high levels, making it impossible to detect without a special test kit. Radon can enter your home through the foundation, yes through your concrete. It can also enter through your well waters’ source. Even houses on slabs can be subject to radon exposure, as well as homes with no foundation. Homes over sand and gravel most commonly test at higher levels. Left untreated, exposure over extended periods of time is proven to be one of the leading causes of cancer.

What to do about Radon
