Radon

We offer information and resources for radon testing and mitigation in your home.

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer

Two in five Minnesota houses test high for radon

Radon is an invisible, odorless gas that can:

  • Enter your home through the basement
  • Come from the dirt surrounding your home's foundation

The only way to know how much radon is in your home is to do a test. You can:

  • Buy a do-it-yourself test kit at a local hardware store, or
  • Hire a licensed radon mitigation specialist
