🏡 Building a New Home? Don’t Forget About Radon! 💨
Did you know that the materials used in and around your home can impact radon levels? Radon gas comes from the ground, but certain aggregates, concrete, and fill materials can contribute to higher indoor levels.
🔹 Some types of gravel and crushed stone contain uranium, which can increase radon levels.
🔹 Concrete itself can release radon gas over time, depending on its composition.
🔹 A coarse gravel layer under the slab allows radon to move freely—without proper ventilation, it can enter your home.
🔹 Using radon-resistant construction techniques, like a v***r barrier and a vent pipe under the slab, can help prevent radon buildup before it becomes a problem.
If you're building or buying new construction, make sure radon is part of the conversation! âś… Testing is the only way to know your levels, and mitigation is easier when planned early.
