Due to this, there is little exchange of the air between the inside and outside. When radon rises through the ground, it becomes trapped in the envelope of a home like an air-tight bubble. The better sealed a home is, the harder it is for radon to escape. This leads to higher concentration and may need mitigation methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Call our office to schedule your testing &#8211; <a href=\"tel:9417731144\">(941) 773-1144<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Radon?
