Test your basement for Radon
A guy at work got some radon mitigation work done on his basement and let me borrow his RadonEye detector. I had never really paid much attention to this in the past as we had an undeveloped basement in our last house. He had an enclosed basement and I have a walkout so I didn't think it would even be an issue for us but low and behold I am getting daily average readings of 491 Bq/m3 and anything over 200 requires attention. I expect everyone on our block would have similar readings and if you have kids in the basement you should get this checked. My oldest boy is living downstairs so this is an eye opener for us.
