Radon gas to some degree is present in every home, and,
incredibly, one out of every three homes tested in the United
States have elevated levels above the U.S. EPA action limit.
Radon gas is an invisible and odorless radioactive gas,
which occurs naturally from decaying uranium beneath the
earth's surface. This radioactive gas escapes harmlessly
into the earth's atmosphere.
However, if your home happened
to be built over an "escape path," your home could
have dangerously high levels of radon gas.
As radon gas
is inhaled, microscopic particles get trapped in the lungs.
As these particles break down, they release a burst of radiation
that damages lung tissue (According to the U.S. EPA, radon gas is the No. 1 leading cause
of lung cancer in non-smokers).
The Emeseal System can permanently prevent radon gas from
passing through exposed crawlspace floors -- far and away
the No. 1 source of entry. To learn more about how our unique
