Radon is often overlooked—but it shouldn’t be. Whether you're buying a new home or have lived in yours for years, understanding the risks of radon gas and how to test for it is critical to protecting your health.
In Ohio, radon is a statewide concern, with elevated levels detected in homes across nearly every county. That’s why radon testing should be a routine part of your home safety checklist.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. Outdoors, it disperses harmlessly into the air. But when it becomes trapped beneath your home—especially in basements or crawl spaces—it can seep inside and build to dangerous levels.
Because radon is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, it’s impossible to detect without proper equipment. Yet prolonged exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, according to the EPA.
Yes—radon is a serious issue across Ohio. In fact, around 50% of homes tested in the state show elevated levels of radon, and the actual number may be even higher due to under-testing.
Whether you're in Akron, Canton, Cleveland, or surrounding communities, your home could be at risk—even if it’s brand new or has no obvious issues.

The good news: radon can be fixed.
If elevated radon levels are found, installing a radon mitigation system is a simple and effective solution. These systems safely vent radon from beneath the home and prevent it from entering the living space. Once installed, routine testing ensures the system remains effective for years to come.
Radon may be invisible, but the risks are real. The only way to protect yourself and your family is through professional testing and mitigation.
Don’t wait until symptoms appear—know your home’s radon levels now.
