Radon testing and mitigation are critical for any business, not only for the safety and health of employees but also for protecting the business's long-term success and reputation. Here are some key reasons why it's important for businesses to prioritize radon testing and mitigation: #5 : Preserving Property Value Building Integrity: Radon levels that are too high could indicate a larger issue with the structure of the building, such as improper ventilation or foundation issues.
