Radon gas is notorious for seeping and accumulating into confined areas of structures, like basements. Radon gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, meaning the only way you can detect it by using a radon gas detector. Its estimated that one in fifteen homes experience high levels of this harmful gas. Scientists have discovered that radon causes cancer and claims around 21,000 lives yearly. There isn’t a required test for radon, though it can be found in nearly every state. The worst part about radon is that it is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US alone. Several published studies have concluded that your chances of contracting lung cancer from minute radon exposure increased by 11 to 21 percent over an exposure period of 5 years. The gas seeps into your home through cracks and holes in your basement floor. You can stop this  from accumulating by sealing your basement floor with an effective sealing product.
