Let’s Talk About Something You Can’t See, But You Might Be Breathing Right Now: Radon Gas.
I want to talk to you about something that doesn’t come up in everyday conversation but probably should: Radon gas.
You can’t see it. You can’t smell it. But it might be in your home — and if it is, you’d have no way of knowing without testing.
Radon gas forms naturally in the ground from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. Sounds like a geology lesson, right? But here’s the important part: radon gas seeps up from the earth and can enter your home through small cracks or gaps in your foundation, crawl space, or basement.
And once it’s in, it builds up over time especially in homes that are tightly sealed or don’t have great ventilation, it’s there to stay.

Is Radon Gas Just One of Those Rare Things?
Actually, no. Not here.
The EPA classifies most of Tennessee — including Middle Tennessee — as a Zone 1 high-risk area for radon exposure.
That means the average home here is more likely to have elevated radon levels than many other parts of the country. We’ve tested homes in Nashville, Murfreesboro, and Manchester and everything appears to be fine, but the tests come back with radon levels 2–3 times higher than what’s considered safe.
And here’s the serious part:
Radon is the #2 cause of lung cancer in the U.S., second only to smoking.
This isn’t scare talk, it’s straight from the Surgeon General and the EPA.
Common Questions About Radon Gas Detection/Inspection
Totally fair question and a common one.
But here’s the deal: radon doesn’t care how new your home is. We’ve tested homes that were built last year and some of them showed elevated levels. It’s not about the age of your home; it’s about the ground underneath it.
We get it, there are a lot of things homeowners get told to worry about. But radon gas is not fluff. Here are just a few real facts:
1. 1 in 15 U.S. homes have elevated radon levels, according to the EPA
2. In high-risk zones like ours, that number can be much higher
3. Kids and the elderly are especially vulnerable
4. And you won’t know it’s there unless you test for it.
First ,don’t panic. This is something that’s fixable.
If your test comes back high, we’ll walk you through the best mitigation strategies for your home. That might include:
1. Sealing your crawl space with a vapor barrier.
2. Improving your ventilation
3. Installing a radon mitigation system (often done in just a day)
And no, we don’t upsell. We just give you the facts and help you make an informed decision.
