Radon is a naturally occurring, cancer-causing, radioactive gas that you cannot see, smell, or taste. Radon gas can enter your home in many ways through small cracks or holes, around service pipes, or inside wall cavities.

If elevated radon levels are detected in your home, there are ways to reduce your exposure.

Radon mitigation professionals can install a system to reduce the levels of radon gas and help protect your family.

Through a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Radon Testing and Mitigation Demonstration Grant Program, Rock Hill Housing Authority is working to test 337 ground-floor units for the presence of elevated radon levels and perform mitigation efforts where indicated. Radon testing is FREE for residents and may help save a life!

The only way to determine if your home is trapping radon gas is to test.

Test. Fix. Save A Life.
