Radon is a slow, silent killer. In fact, it’s the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. When a homeowner suspected his home might have a radon issue, he called the experts at Ask This Old House. Building engineer Ross Trethewey knew how to keep the homeowner and his dog safe despite high levels of radon in the basement, calling on the help of radon mitigation technician Chris Lebreton.
