Prevent lung cancer by getting a Radon Test. Be Sure First.

A radon level of 4.0 is equivalent to smoking a half pack of cigarettes a day. 

 
Radon is a Class-A human carcinogen and it is the leading cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers and is especially harmful if you smoke. Radon is produced from the natural radioactive decay of uranium, which is found in all rocks and soil.
There is no safe level of radon.   A Radon Test is the only way to know.

Is Radon a Problem in the Nashville Area?

Home Inspector checking Radon Testing equipment. Be Sure First.

 All homes should have a Radon Test
Regardless of geographic location or foundation type radon is a problem.  No matter where you live in Tennessee, there is the potential for radon to enter your home. Regardless of your zone designation or geographic location, all homes should be tested for radon. There is no zone that has no risk factor for radon.

Davidson County (Nashville), Wilson County, and Rutherford County are all located in the EPA Zone 1 Risk classification for Radon.  The only way to know if it is in your home is to test for it.

EPA map of the Greater Nashville Area showing where radon testing is recommended.

YES. 

The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) considers radon to be a very serious problem in our state. As radon gas breaks down, it emits high-energy alpha particles. These particles are in the air we breathe, and once inhaled, they can be deposited in our lungs. The energy associated with these particles can alter cell DNA, thus increasing the risk of lung cancer. 

Persons who smoke and live in a home with elevated radon levels are at a very high risk to develop lung cancer.

Mitigation

Is Radon a Problem in the Nashville Area?

Mitigation

How radon gets into your home.

It's easier to fix radon than it is to fix lung cancer.

To avoid any conflict of interest, BeSure1st does not mitigate radon in homes. However, we will be happy to help you find a list of contractors if we discover a high level of radon that requires action.

A Radon Test is the only way to know if you are being exposed to harmful radiation.
