“Checking your home for radon is as simple as purchasing a do-it-yourself kit at your local home improvement store,” said Ray Toombs, co-owner of the Northeast Ohio Maid Brigade. “When you consider the fact that radon is odorless, it could be in your home and you’d never know it. We recommend all of our customers test the quality of their indoor air for harmful gases.”

The EPA has identified fifteen states, of which Ohio is one, that have adopted some form of radon regulations for radon service providers who offer measurement and mitigation services by requiring registration, certification, or licensing.

During National Radon Awareness month, make sure you spread the word to your friends and family about the potential dangers of radon and insist that they test their home. In Ohio over fifty percent of the counties are identified as having a high potential risk for radon in home construction according to the EPA website.

Building a new home? Make sure the contractor is using radon-resistant construction. The EPA has a directory of contractors across the country using radon-resistant construction. Check before you build.

The EPA offers more tips to protect your home and family from radon poisoning. Visit their website at www.epa.gov/radon. For more information on green cleaning tips visit our Maid Brigade website.
