  1. About Us At Radon1, our goal is to ensure that the air you breathe is healthy. We are committed to providing the highest quality systems for your home, business, or school by partnering with you to develop the perfect mitigation and prevention strategy for your needs. We continually strive for improvements in education and awareness of environmental concerns that are detrimental to indoor air quality and good health. We seek to determine real and lasting solutions that are not only right for our clients and their families but also right for the communities and neighborhoods in which we live. We seek to partner and align with organizations that work to improve air quality issues in our homes, schools, and workplaces.

  2. What is Radon? Radon is naturally occurring radioactive soil gas that is colorless, odorless and tasteless. Radon comes from the breakdown of uranium and radium, elements often found underground in the limestone throughout Tennessee. Radon seeps up through the ground and can enter homes through cracks in basement floors, walls, joints and crawl spaces. With the advances in insulation and energy efficient windows and materials, radon has fewer pathways to exit your home, which leads to it building up.

  3. What Are The Risks? According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services: – Living in a home with a radon level of 4 pCi/L is like getting 200 chest x-rays per year. – Living in a home with a radon level of 20 pCi/L is like smoking two packs of cigarettes per day. The CDC says the Risk of lung cancer in children resulting from exposure to radon may be almost twice as high as the risk to adults exposed to the same amount of radon.

  4. How Do I Know If My Home or Office Has Radon? Since radon is colorless and odorless, you have no way of detecting it without a specific radon test. You can get a free testing kit via mail, which you will then mail to a lab in a process that takes a few weeks. Or we can come to your home to set up an electronic CRM system and measure in 48 hours. If you see a system like this on the outside of a home in your neighborhood, you have radon in your area and should have your home tested
