The Silent Threat: Understanding Radon Gas in Your Home
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. It seeps from the soil and can become trapped inside your home’s foundation. Modern homes are often built to be airtight, which can create a vacuum effect. This pulls radon from the soil directly into your living spaces, increasing radon levels.
- Foundation Infiltration: Radon gas enters through microscopic cracks in concrete slabs, common in Chicago.
- The “Vacuum” Effect: Modern HVAC systems can draw soil gases, including radon, upward into bedrooms and living areas.
- Invisible Risk: Radon exposure has no immediate physical symptoms. Long-term damage can occur before any signs appear.
- Regional Hotspots: High radon concentrations are often found in specific geological zones across NW Indiana and the Chicago suburbs. Professional this service is crucial for safety.

Frequently Asked Questions About Radon Testing
Radon levels fluctuate wildly based on the time of day and the weather outside. A 15-minute test is useless. EPA protocols require at least 48 hours to get a "Short-Term" average that actually means something for your health.
Yes. You can live in the home normally, but "Closed House Conditions" must be maintained—meaning all windows and exterior doors must stay closed (except for normal entry and exit) to ensure the air isn't artificially diluted.
If your report shows levels at or above 4.0 pCi/L, the EPA recommends mitigation. Because our BREEZE ET data is so precise, you can hand our report directly to a mitigation contractor to help them design the most effective vent system for your foundation.
