I can assure you you do. We all have radon gas, it comes from the ground. You can have varying amounts, but you will get some, it's naturally occurring. I've known two people with lung cancer that never smoked a cig in their life. I keep meaning to have my house checked. If you test high, it can be abated, never heard of it being in the water, but it stands to reason. I guess all well using folks should check that. Can it be abated from the water?
Several houses in my neighborhood have abatement systems installed. I think it is similar to the exhaust fans we put on grow tents just a lot less air flow. When we bought our house, the inspector placed the radon test in the basement and expected the seller to box it up and send it out when the proper time period had elapsed. My bet is the seller just closed the test up shortly after the inspector left to minimize the reading. I should probably test my basement…
I've never seen one installed, but I believe its a mild vaccum thing. If you have a slab floor, you dont have a basement, and basements are where there are usually problems with radon. Most homes at least have a crawl space, I dont know about a straight slab. You would think a crawl space would be required by code, but I really have no idea.
Go online and do a search radon lvl for your town
Radon sealer penatrates the concrete foundation wall 4 to 6 inchesBasically with a basement you are opening up a big wide hole up under your house that becomes a gas chamber with a door leading into your house
I'll have a pocture soon
I don't trust the town or the water depatment.
Good point considering history…
This is my radon system in the black on the left.
Yup
