WHAT’S UNDERNEATH

Same rain. Same street. But every home can still tell a different radon story.

SEASON TWO FINALE.

What’s underneath.

— ALEX CARTER
THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE STORY

Indoor radon levels can be influenced by multiple factors, including soil and geology, pressure differences, foundation pathways and building conditions. Regional clues provide context, but measurements inside the home show what is actually happening there.

The house is only half the story.
