How does radon get into a home?
1. Cavities inside walls
2. Cracks in solid floors
3. Construction joints
4. Cracks in walls
5. The water supply
6. Gaps in suspended floors
7. Gaps around service pipe
Any home can have a radon problem. Radon moves up through the ground to the air above and since your house acts like a vacuum, it is drawn up through cracks in the foundation and other openings. Radon can also enter the house through well water systems.
