If you live in Lafayette, West Lafayette, or anywhere in Tippecanoe County, there’s a good chance your home has a radon problem you can’t see, smell, or taste. Homes in this area average 15 pCi/L of radon — nearly four times the level the EPA says requires action. That’s not a scare tactic; it’s geology. Tippecanoe County sits on glacial deposits over limestone bedrock, which is exactly the kind of ground that lets radon gas seep up into basements and crawl spaces.

The good news: radon is one of the easiest home health hazards to fix. A properly installed mitigation system can cut radon levels by up to 99%, and most installations are done in a single day.

Why Test — and Why Now

• Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. overall, and the leading cause among people who have never smoked, according to the EPA and U.S. Surgeon General.
• Radon has no smell, no color, and no taste — testing is the only way to know your levels.
• If you’re selling your home, Indiana’s disclosure form requires you to report any radon test results you know about — testing before you list avoids surprises at closing.
• If you’re buying, don’t assume the inspector’s radon test is the final word — levels can vary by season and by which part of the house was tested.
