Cleaner air quality in Andalusia, IL. 

Radon is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless gas from the decay of radium. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer, and is found both inside and outside your home. Radon levels become very concentrated in a home and can only be detected by special kits. Installing a Radon Mitigation system, Radon is pulled directly out from underneath the home, and discharged out of the home, leaving the air quality of the home healthier and safer to breathe.

Andrew was concerned about the levels of radon in his home. When he contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems he was interested in hearing about our Radon Mitigation systems and why they are important to have in your home. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Radon can not only affect you but also the pets you have in your home. Radon in its natural form, uranium, can change into radium. During this transformation, the Nobel gas radon is released. It then travels out of the earth and gets trapped in our homes and buildings. At this point, the radon goes through another transformation- it breaks down into a solid radioactive element called radon decay.
