Breathe Easy: Protect Your Family from Radon Exposure with Epoxy Flooring

Did you know that a silent and invisible threat could be lurking beneath your home? Radon, a radioactive gas that seeps out of the Earth's crust, is a serious health concern when it accumulates in indoor spaces. If your home was built before the mid-1970s, it might lack the protective measures against radon that modern building regulations require. But there's good news! Keys Construction and Remodeling offers a solution to help you and your family breathe easy – epoxy flooring.

The Hidden Danger: Radon Gas

Radon is a naturally occurring gas produced by the decay of uranium in the soil and rocks beneath our feet. It's odorless, colorless, and tasteless, making it virtually undetectable without specialized testing equipment. This radioactive gas can seep into your home through gaps and openings in the foundation, posing long-term health risks.

Short-Term Exposure: The Initial Silent Threat

Short-term radon exposure doesn't typically cause immediate symptoms, but it's the precursor to long-term health risks. A one-time encounter with elevated radon levels is not a significant concern, but consistent, short-term exposure can lead to a cumulative risk of lung cancer, especially if you or your family members are smokers.

Long-Term Exposure: Unseen Consequences

Long-term exposure to radon is where the real danger lies. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, and the risk increases with prolonged exposure. If your home was constructed before the mid-1970s when building regulations aimed at preventing radon infiltration came into effect, your family might be at risk.
