Do Lake Norman Homes Have a Radon Problem?

 

I heard a story the other day about a buyer all set to go to closing until she found out that there was radon present in the home. Because she was still in her due diligence period, she terminated the contract. It turns out that the test performed to determine Radon levels showed that the [...]
