Radon is a colorless and odorless naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps from into homes through cracks and other openings in the foundation, or walls in contact with soil.

The National Academy of Sciences estimates that radon causes between 15,000-22,00 lung cancer deaths each year in the United States.

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) recommends that all homeowners test their homes for radon.

Radon gas measurement is easy and should be considered by the buyer as part of any real estate transaction.  IF you purchased your home before 1991, it may have never been tested for elevated radon gas levels.

All professionals who perform radon tests in New Jersey must be certified. They must demonstrate sufficient education and experience, take DEP approved courses in radon testing, and pass a written examination.
