Radon is a radioactive, colourless, odourless gas present in certain soils due to the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. This carcinogenic gas can build up to dangerous levels in homes, especially in basements.

Radon infiltration refers to the process by which radon gas enters a building or dwelling. Radon is a radioactive gas that is formed from the natural decay of uranium in soil, rocks, and water. It can seep into buildings through cracks in the floor or walls, gaps in foundations, and openings around pipes and wires, posing a health risk if levels are high. Proper mitigation measures can be taken to prevent or reduce radon infiltration.
