How Does Radon Enter Your Home?

Soil is the main source of radon entering your home
Radon enters your home several different ways. This can include cracks in concrete slabs, cracks in wall joints, open sump pump baskets and crawlspaces.
Differences in air pressure in the home and the soil can pull radon in through the different pathways.
