"Why is radon a problem now?"
We get this question often, especially when folks are forced to install a mitigation system in order to sell their home.
The short answer is that radon has always been a problem, but only recently have scientists been able to prove it.
The case of a man named Stanley Watras is very interesting, and has been a major factor in the increased research of the effects of radon. Several articles exist online that tell the story of Mr. Watras. After reading them you won't hesitate to test your home for radon!
