Beyond reducing the risk of lung cancer, radon mitigation can also protect the value of your home. When radon gas is extracted from beneath a building, it also removes moisture, methane, or other gases present. This can be quite advantageous for a homeowner who has a damp basement.

Canadians are becoming more aware of the dangers of high radon and may ask homeowners about radon gas levels in a home during the purchase or rental application process. It is also possible that some potential buyers will add radon clauses to contracts. Knowing a home's radon level can help avoid roadblocks during real estate transactions.
