Of the many stories that crop up about radon, one that persists is that homes sitting on concrete slabs—and therefore have no basement—are not subject to elevated levels of radon gas. This argument is unfortunately very much incorrect. All types of homes can have elevated levels of radon gas unless it is completely suspended above the ground.

Radon gas is produced from the decay of uranium and can be present, in varying concentrations, in the soils directly beneath the building (e.g. homes, schools, office buildings, etc.).  Any structure in direct contact with the soil or built on an enclosed crawl space are susceptible to elevated levels of the harmful gas. For this reason, it is equally important (if not more so) to have your slab home tested, especially since it is the main level of a slab home where occupants do most of their living.

The only way to ensure your property is not adversely affected by radon gas is to have an expert conduct testing. Once the air in the home is analyzed, you will have the information needed to make informed decisions going forward.  Even if you believe your concrete slab was installed with immaculate precision, it is still smart to have your air tested, as all concrete floors can have minuscule entryways for the gas to enter the living space.
