Radon is a concern in any home these days and is one of the things that can be happening in your home without you knowing about it. Here is a short warning from one of my Positive Real Estate Professionals (PREP) associates in Indiana and Kentucky, Certainty Home Inspections, that has to do with concerns about Radon gas emanating from Granite Countertops.

Granite countertops can look really nice, but if they can pose a health issue, it is best to know the truth about them in advance. I believe it is wise that my clients have a home inspection, there are too many things that can be wrong with a home that a qualified home inspector can find that the individual won’t know to look for. I don’t have a recommendation for a local inspector (the Realtors I work with do), however, I have been following the information provided by Jim Allhiser in Salem for some time and enjoy his posts. His pictures are exceptional. Here is his take on Radon. His statistics show more deaths per year from Radon than from home fires.
