Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer and can be present in any home or building. It is especially prevalent in Iowa and may be presenting a health risk to your family right now.



Radon is a radioactive gas. It comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils. It typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home traps radon inside, where it can build up. Any home may have a radon problem.
