Most home buyers walk through a basement, smell fresh paint, and figure everything checks out.

The catch is that some of the biggest hazards cannot be seen or smelled. Radon gas seeps right through foundation concrete without leaving a single trace, and finding out about it after you unpack gets expensive fast. Testing before closing gives you actual numbers to bring to the negotiation table instead of an unexpected repair bill down the road.

Did you test for radon when you bought your place, or was it off your radar?
