Radon Eliminator: 10 Warning Signs Your Home May Have Radon

Uniontown, OH based Radon Eliminator is pleased to announce that they have published a new article on their blog aimed at helping the public ascertain whether their property has a radon problem. Alongside this advisory, the company is also offering a discount on their state of the art Radon Test.

Radon is an invisible radioactive gas formed naturally in the Earth’s crust; nearly all parts of the planet have a little radon. However, Ohio is known to be saturated with high levels of the hazardous gas. If radon levels within a given area reach 4pCi/L, the health of everyone in the area could be affected, particularly younger children, pets, and the elderly. Radon Eliminator’s new article highlights the health risks associated with radon exposure and lists the warning signs property owners may find useful, as well as providing a quick link to request the discounted radon test.

“We always recommend conducting a Radon test when buying a property,” said Cedric Mims of Radon Eliminator. “It’s in a buyer’s best interest to know if their investment is safe from radon and, if it not at safe radon levels, what corrective action needs to be taken.”

As the symptoms of radon poisoning are usually associated with other ailments, many people fail to make the connection with a possible radon issue. However, these symptoms should not be overlooked as they could lead to lung cancer, which accounts for about 14% of all new cancer cases. It is all too easy to overlook the 10 warning signs for a potential radon gas problem, like a persistent cough, hoarseness, wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing up blood, chest pain, frequent infections like bronchitis and pneumonia, loss of appetite, weight loss, and fatigue.

Radon Eliminator was recently showcased in an article on Press Advantage, highlighting their directions on choosing a good radon company. In it, Mims said that, “Exposure to radon kills more than 21,000 people every year. This is more than the number of people who are killed by drunk drivers every year, and it’s the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States; second only to smoking—and we all know the dangers of smoking.” In 2019, the estimated death rate for these diseases in the United States is already over 142,000 so far. Lung cancer is the leading cause of death among both men and women.

Because radon is colorless and odorless, it is impossible to detect by sight or smell. Radon also has no taste, nor does it leave behind a stain or discoloration. It leaves no evidence of its presence that can be seen with the naked eye. Due to this, Radon Eliminator recommends all property owners undertake periodic Radon testing, and any mitigation be done using an experienced professional and state of the art equipment and techniques.

On HomeAdvisor, Radon Eliminator reviews now number over 55 verified ratings, with an average score of 4.88 out of 5. Their notable achievements include being a Top Rate, Elite Service, One Year Screened and Approved. Radon Eliminator was also awarded the 2018 Best of the Best title by HomeAdvisor.

One of the latest reviews is by Gregory V. from Boardman, OH, who gave Radon Eliminator this glowing review: “John was my main contact, and he was always friendly and knowledgeable regarding any questions I had. When I purchased my home several years ago, the radon levels were at 4.8 but I put it off doing it right away. I finally decided to get the radon mitigation done and, since Radon Eliminator had very high scores here on HomeAdvisor, I went with them for my mitigation. They did an excellent job with the installation and cleaned up the area so that the only way you knew they did anything was the mitigation equipment. They run a radon test after they're done and the results this time were an average of 0.1 (1/10th). I know you can't expect that kind of drop in every house, but they are good at what they do and I would highly recommend them to anybody looking to do radon mitigation in their home.”
