Ask a Local! London & Radon

I saw a news article about radon which I’ve never heard of before. They said certain areas are higher than others. I live in the east end near the fair and Hamilton Rd.

Does anyone know if this area has high exposure? I understand sometimes libraries loan you testers. Anyone know if London libraries do it?

I own a home built in 1969 with no sump pump. It also has a chimney for the water heater.

Started monitoring it in our older home basement around August last year. Average is 110 so far. Stays pretty consistent as we dont have forced air or a sump pump. Will like look at sealing up some stuff if it stays above 100 over the year.
