A radon system is a device that is installed in a home to reduce the levels of radon gas. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer. It is found in the soil and can seep into homes through cracks in the foundation or other openings. Radon systems work by drawing the radon gas out of the home and venting it outside. The installation of a radon system is a relatively simple process that can be completed in a few hours.
There are many benefits to installing a radon system in your home. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, and it is estimated that radon exposure causes over 20,000 lung cancer deaths in the United States each year. Installing a radon system can significantly reduce your risk of developing lung cancer. Radon systems are also relatively inexpensive to install and maintain. The cost of installing a radon system is typically less than $1,000, and the annual cost of maintaining the system is typically less than $100.
