Why radon testing matters in Scituate

Rural Scituate homes sit on varied bedrock and glacial soils that can be radon sources. Well water and private septic are the norm, and homes tend to be tightly closed during New England winters, which can concentrate any radon entering the lower levels.

Many Scituate homes have walk-out basements or partial cellars. Both configurations still warrant testing at the lowest occupied level.
