Why radon testing matters in Foster

Foster's western Rhode Island geology, wooded lots, and heavy use of private wells and septic systems all coexist with radon potential. A rural setting does not lower risk — soil gas enters through whatever is under the foundation.

Older Foster farmhouses often have stone foundations and dirt-floor cellar sections. Modern testing works accurately in these buildings when placed appropriately.
