Radon is an invisible, odorless, naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into your home through foundation cracks and soil contact.

It’s a known health risk, and the EPA recommends testing any home below the third floor. In South Florida’s high-humidity, slab-foundation environment, radon levels may not be obvious—and testing is the only way to know. Early detection ensures your indoor air quality is safe and supports homeowner peace of mind.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, responsible for an estimated 21,000 to 28,000 deaths every year.

While Florida’s overall radon risk is considered moderate, elevated levels have been found in roughly 1 out of every 5 homes tested in South Florida—particularly in slab-on-grade properties and coastal regions.

Because radon is colorless and odorless, the only way to detect its presence is through professional testing.

Homes that have previously tested high for radon should be retested every two years to ensure mitigation systems remain effective and levels stay within safe limits.
