The air pressure inside a building is lower than the pressure in the soil surrounding the building’s foundation.

Therefore, the building acts as a vacuum and draws radon toward and into the structure. Additionally, Radon finds its way into buildings through cracks, crevices, nooks, crannies, holes, or openings between the slab and the earth. In reality, Radon is responsible for approximately 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year according to the EPA(Environmental Protection Agency) In order to know if you have Radon in your home, testing must be done to find out.
