Question for those in the home industry.  Is radon really as big of a problem as they make it sound?  Would you have your basement tested?

In some areas it's a problem, in others, it's pure money making hype.

It's only a deadly gas, I wouldn't worry about it. Worst case, your kids have 6 fingers or a tail. Big whoop.

Yes it is a very big problem and could result in death.  You should always have a radon test especially if your home is built on rocky soil.

Would you have your basement tested?


I live on sandy soil so the chance of radon is very low but 30 miles north, radon is a major problem.

More like lung cancer, not "deformities".

My mom says my third testicle is radon-induced. Maybe it was drugs.



Anyway, don't judge me.

Many midwestern states such as Indiana have radon levels much higher than national average. Check here for your county average. Poorly ventilated areas should be tested.
