50% of Homes Tested Have Elevated Levels of Radon in Ohio Every Year
Ohio Department of Health Statistic
As the crisp air of fall settles over Greater Cleveland, most of us welcome the season with cozy sweatshirts, hot cocoa, and quiet evenings indoors. Windows stay shut, furnaces kick on, and our homes become our warm refuge from the chill outside.
But while we’re bundling up and sealing ourselves inside, there’s a hidden danger we can’t see, smell, or taste: radon gas.
Why Radon Deserves Your Attention
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps into homes through cracks in the foundation, crawl spaces, and basements. Once inside, it can accumulate to unsafe levels—especially when doors and windows are closed for the season.
Here’s the sobering fact: radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., behind smoking. Prolonged exposure can damage your lungs and put your family’s long-term health at risk, even if your home feels safe and comfortable.
