Radon Entry Points - Basement

Many homes have basement areas. Whether finished or not there is always a potential for radon to enter your home through the basement. Not all homes will have every radon entry point shown, but the image shows the most common ones. Any one of these entry points could contribute to a high radon gas level in the home.

Testing for radon is the only way to know if your home has high levels of dangerous radon gas, a class A carcinogen that causes lung cancer.
