Radon Testing Information

While radon problems may be more common in the upper piedmont and mountain counties of North Carolina, any home may have an elevated radon level. New and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements can have a problem. In addition, indoor radon levels vary from one home to the next. Do not rely on radon test results taken in other homes in the neighborhood - even ones next door - to estimate the radon level in your home. To determine which areas of North Carolina have the greatest likelihood of elevated radon levels - refer to the NC Radon Zone Map.

The only way to determine the radon level in YOUR home is to conduct a radon test.
