Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. It is transparent, odorless, and tasteless.
Radon gas is produced by the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, water and rock.
Radon can enter the house in several different ways. The most common way is through soil gases that seep up through openings into the house. The soil gases will travel the path of least resistance. In this case they will take advantage of the pressure difference between the foundation and the earth's soil pressure. The gases move as if they were being pulled by a vacuum. Radon can also appear in building materials and well water, but is rare in this part of the country.

Absolutely. Radon is present in all houses, no matter the age, size, or construction style.
