Radon in Slab-on-Grade Homes: Why No Basement Does Not Mean No Radon
Slab-on-grade homes have no basement, which leads many metro Atlanta homeowners to assume they are safe from radon. They are not. Radon enters through slab cracks, control joints, and plumbing and utility penetrations directly into the living space. How radon gets into a slab home, why these homes still test high, how testing works, and how sub-slab depressurization mitigates a slab home.
