Radon is a Virginia problem, not a rare one
Radon is an invisible, odorless radioactive gas that seeps into homes from the soil. You cannot see it or smell it — the only way to know a home’s level is to test.
The EPA action level
At or above 4.0 picocuries per liter, the EPA says fix the home. Between 2 and 4, it recommends considering mitigation.

U.S. lung-cancer deaths per year
The EPA attributes about 21,000 lung-cancer deaths a year to radon — the leading cause among people who have never smoked.

Most of northern & western Virginia
EPA’s Map of Radon Zones puts Northern Virginia, the Shenandoah Valley and the Blue Ridge in its highest-potential zones.

Buying or selling? Radon can hold up your closing.
Radon most often surfaces during a home sale: the buyer’s inspection includes a radon test, it comes back at or above 4.0 pCi/L, and suddenly mitigation is a condition of closing with a contingency clock running. The good news: for most homes this is a routine, well-understood fix — many systems are installed in a single day.
