A FEW QUICK FACTS ABOUT RADON 

Radon is a gas formed by the breakdown of uranium and radium, both of which are found in high levels in East Tennessee. Every home is susceptible to radon, even new construction. There are a large number of homes in East Tennessee with high radon levels. We’ve found that about one out of three houses have high levels of radon. Radon is unpredictable.
