How Radon Sensors Work

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Every radon detector works by counting the radiation that radon and its progeny emit — but they differ in when they count, how much air they sample and how the result reaches you.

How to Level an RV

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Leveling an RV means raising the low wheels until the coach sits flat side to side and front to back. A level RV is more comfortable to live in, doors and slides work as intended, and appliances such as absorption refrigerators run as designed.

How to Reduce Radon in Your Home

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

High radon levels can be fixed. The most common approach is a vent pipe and fan system that pulls radon from beneath the house and releases it safely above the roofline.

Leveling Blocks vs Ramps

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Both blocks and ramps raise a wheel to level your RV; they solve the problem differently. Blocks let you choose the height in steps. Ramps give you a fixed, smooth profile you drive up and stop on.

pCi/L to Bq/m³ Converter

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Radon is measured in two units. The United States uses picocuries per liter (pCi/L); most other countries use becquerels per cubic meter (Bq/m³). The conversion is fixed: 1 pCi/L = 37 Bq/m³.

Radon Decay and Alpha Radiation

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Radon-222 is a gas with a half-life of about 3.8 days. It is produced continuously by radium decaying in soil and rock, and it decays in turn into a series of short-lived “progeny” — polonium-218, lead-214, bismuth-214 and polonium-214 — most of which emit alpha particles.

Radon in the Basement

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Basements usually have the highest radon levels in a house. Radon rises from uranium in soil and rock, and the basement is closest to the soil — with foundation cracks, floor joints, sumps and utility penetrations giving gas an easy route in.

RV Leveling Block Calculator

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The number of blocks is just the rise divided by the block height, rounded up to a whole block. The judgement is in measuring both accurately, and in knowing when the answer means you should move rather than stack higher.

RV Safety Checklist for Parking and Leveling

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Leveling is the point where an RV is least stable. Wheels are on blocks, the brakes may be off, and people are walking around the vehicle. A short checklist prevents most incidents.

What EPA Radon Zones Mean

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The EPA divides US counties into three radon zones based on geology, soil characteristics and the indoor radon measurements available when the map was made.

Zone	Prediction
Zone 1	Highest potential for average indoor radon above the action level
Zone 2	Moderate potential
Zone 3	Lower potential

Why zones are only a starting point

A zone describes a county’s geology, not your house. Indoor radon depends on much more: the foundation type, the soil immediately beneath and around the building, cracks and penetrations, pressure differences created by heating and exhaust fans, and how the home is ventilated.

What Is a Safe Radon Level?

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

There is no level of radon that is known to be completely safe. Health agencies set guideline levels that tell you when to take action, but the lower your long-term exposure, the lower your risk.

What Is Radon?

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced when uranium in soil and rock breaks down. It rises through the ground and can collect inside homes, where long-term exposure increases the risk of lung cancer. You can’t see, smell or taste it — testing is the only way to know your level.

Where to Put a Radon Detector

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

For a representative radon reading, place your detector on the lowest lived-in level of your home, in a room you use often. Radon comes from the ground, so concentrations are usually highest on the lowest floors.

Why Do Radon Levels Change?

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Radon levels inside a home are never constant. They depend on how much soil gas is being drawn into the house at any moment — and that changes with the weather, the season and how you use your heating, cooling and ventilation.

Is My Radon Level Safe?

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

There is no known completely safe level of radon. Health agencies set guideline levels that tell you when to take action, but lower long-term exposure is always better. Enter your reading to see how it compares.

Radon in a Crawl Space

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A crawl space sits between the soil and the floor above it, so it acts as a path for radon rather than a barrier. Soil gas collects under the house and can move up through gaps, plumbing penetrations and ductwork into living areas.

Radon Measurement Accuracy Explained

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A radon reading is an estimate with an uncertainty attached. Two things create that uncertainty: the physical variability of radon in your home, and the measurement error of the instrument itself.

Short-Term vs Long-Term Radon Testing

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Short-term radon tests are fast; long-term tests are more representative. Because radon changes with weather and season, the longer you measure, the closer you get to your home’s true average.

Radon in the Bedroom

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Radon risk is dose over time. You spend roughly a third of your life asleep, so the air in your bedroom contributes more to your long-term exposure than a room you pass through for a few minutes a day.

Radon in Well Water

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

If your home uses a private well, radon can be dissolved in the water — and released into the air whenever water is agitated, especially in showers, washing machines and dishwashers. For homes on municipal surface water, this route is generally not a concern because treatment aerates the water first.
