Default Re: Radon Gas in TV homes?

When up north we live close to the Reading Prong, an underground area known to produce radon, and there was a time when everyone was getting his or her basement tested for it. It did indeed turn up in a handful of homes. My recollection is that the issue was in basements only because of the weight of the radon gas, as mentioned earlier in the thread. Based on what we learned back then, it is extremely unlikely bordering on impossible for radon to be an issue here in Florida with sandy soil and no basements.
