My house is on a slab, so I’m safe from radon, right?” ❌ Think again!
We hear a lot of common myths about radon across SW Washington and NW Oregon. Here’s the reality:
1️⃣ Concrete is porous. Radon slips right through micro-cracks and pipe gaps.
2️⃣ Neighbors’ results don’t matter. Radon moves through soil fissures—your house can test high even if the house next door is low.
3️⃣ Newer homes trap gas longer. Modern energy-efficient seals keep radon trapped inside if there’s no mitigation system.
Since radon has no smell, color, or taste, testing is the only way to know what you’re breathing.
