It's tasteless, odorless, colorless - and it may be linked to Lung Cancer.  Radon.  A gas that builds up in the lower levels of a home, and could cause long-term health issues.

Many of our buyer clients wonder if they should go through the expense of a Radon test when purchasing a home.  Unless there is active radon mitigation in place (e.g. basement fan and vent), I always recommend a Radon test.  While there is no understanding of how much Radon is acceptable - the less the better.

When purchasing a home, you must understand the risks - they can be financial or health related.  An advisor like EZ Team can help you identify the risks and reduce them when possible.  Understanding the risks going into such a major purchase is essential.
