What is Radon?
Many homeowners in Londonderry are confused as to what radon is, or whether or not it is something that should concern them. At New England Radon we’re here to set the record straight.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found throughout the United States. This gas is emitted from decaying uranium, a mineral, dispersed throughout soil and rocks. This gas is both odorless and colorless, making it impossible to detect without a professional inspection.
As it is emitted the gas rises through the soil and out into the air above ground. Through this process is can and does seep into buildings such as homes and businesses through foundation cracks and other openings.

According to the EPA, as many as 1 in 3 homes sampled across seven states had radon levels detected at measures exceeding the EPA’s recommended level for exposure.
