High-Risk Radon Areas in Greater Royal Oak
High radon levels in Oakland County, Lapeer County & Saint Clair County
Worried about high radon levels in your Michigan home? Contact the radon testing professionals!
While home radon can be a problem for any property throughout the United States, areas with high uranium levels in the soil are at a higher risk. In fact, 1 in 4 Michigan homes are expected to have unhealthy radon levels, according to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE). The EGLE added that some counties have 40 to 50% of houses with radon problems. For reference, the action level to get radon mitigation is 4 pCi/L. It has also been found that half of Nebraska homes have high-risk radon levels!
Even in these high-risk places, radon is undetectable by sight, smell, and taste. This means radon testing is the best way to assure your property is safe from this cancer-causing gas. While our community is vulnerable to high radon levels, there is no reason to worry – Michigan Radon Defense provides reliable radon testing and mitigation services throughout Michigan, including Royal Oak, Waterford, Troy, and nearby.

High-risk radon zones in our service area
Below is a list of counties most at risk for home radon in our service area:
Oakland County
According to the EGLE, approximately 30% of Oakland County homes have high radon levels, with predicted average indoor radon screening levels going from 2 to 4 pCi/L. Oakland County's Health Division says the best time for radon testing is during the winter since doors and windows are closed, allowing radon gas to build up and become easier to identify. The EGLE encourages radon testing every two years to accommodate factors that may cause radon levels to change, such as the homes settling and foundation cracks forming.
