Radon is a radioactive gas that can enter a home through foundation cracks drains, sump pumps and since it is odorless you don’t know if it is present unless you test for it. If detected, it can be remediated but you want to address this before you move in and live in your home We also discuss what you need to know about mold, easements and FEMA flood zones so that you can request any additional tests or information you need before buying your home.
