West Chester, PA
Trouble in the Borough
Sitting a respectable 25 miles from Philadelphia and more than a walk from Wilmington, one would think that the little history making borough of West Chester would be far away – untouchable by the issues of modern day cities and their never-ending concerns with health hazards. Certainly the well-known faces of West Chester’s past never raised an eyebrow at a naturally occurring gas lurking in their basements… But this is not the case. Underneath the floorboards, West Chester is haunted by an invisible gas known as radon.
What exactly is radon?
Radon is a radioactive gas that results from the natural breakdown of uranium found in trace amounts in soil, rock, and water. Radon is the main source of our exposure to all radiation. The US Surgeon General and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have determined that radon is second only to smoking as a leading cause of lung cancer. Testing for Radon is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk from radon.
More than half of all homes in West Chester have the propensity for moderate to high risk levels of radon. If this radon is not properly removed it poses a significant health hazard.
Fortunately for West Chester residents it’s possible to test for radon. The other good news is that once you understand the problem, it’s possible to have the radon problem remedied as well. And that’s where Radon-Rid comes in.

Because high levels of radon have been found in every state of the United States, testing for radon and installing radon mitigation systems has become a specialized industry in the last two decades. Many states have implemented programs that affect home buying and awareness in the real estate community, however radon testing and mitigation systems are not generally mandatory unless specified by the local jurisdiction.
