The Environmental Protection Agency lists Davidson County as an area with a high potential for elevated radon levels. Helping Nashville homeowners improve their indoor air quality and home safety, DocAir (615-373-2498) released a guide on radon remediation.
—
The HVAC services and mold remediation company, which installs hundreds of radon mitigation systems every year, has published a new report explaining the causes and consequences of radon exposure. This odorless radioactive gas, a by-product of uranium decay, is found in most soils and is a known carcinogen, associated with a higher risk of lung cancer.

According to the Metro Health Department, approximately 40% of the homes tested in Davidson County showed elevated radon levels. As there are several possible causes of radon leaks, DocAir’s latest guide emphasizes a holistic approach to property inspection, carried out with the ultimate goal of uncovering structural issues that may be causing high radon levels in the home. These can include deficient air ducts, cracks in the foundation and walls, leaks in ducts and ventilation outlets, and poor crawl space ventilation.
“Most radon mitigation companies in the Nashville area focus on identifying methods to reduce radon levels back to a ‘safe zone’,” the guide explains. “DocAir understands an elevated radon level is an indicator of underlying issues in the home.”
Radon levels fluctuate throughout the seasons, and need to be monitored over time, the company adds. They also need to be measured in different areas of the property, in order to identify problem areas. By addressing these structural problems, a long-term, efficient solution can be developed.
Homeowners who would like to have their property tested for radon toxicity are encouraged to contact the company for an assessment as soon as possible, due to the health risks of prolonged exposure to the gas.
