How to keep radon levels low in NORTHBROOK, IL?
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban recommends these actions you can take to reduce your risks of lung cancer and help lower radon levels in your home:
- Seal cracks in floors and walls with plaster, caulk, or other materials designed for this objective.
- Always test radon levels again every 2 years after you’ve made any of these changes to ensure these actions reduced the radon levels.
- Increase air flow in your home by opening windows and using fans and vents to circulate air. However, natural ventilation in any type of house is only a temporary strategy to reduce radon.
- You can cover the ground floor in crawl-spaces with a vapor barrier plastic sheet. A vent pipe and fan can be used to blow the radon from under the sheet and carry it above and beyond your house.

Northbrook is a suburb of Chicago, located at the northern edge of Cook County, Illinois, United States, on the border of Lake County. Per the 2020 census, the population was 35,222.
When incorporated in 1901, the village was known as Shermerville in honor of Frederick Schermer, who donated the land for its first train station. The village changed its name to Northbrook in 1923 as an effort to improve its public image. The name was chosen because the West Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River runs through the village.
Any home in the Northbrook area is at risk for elevated radon levels. Radon testing is the only way to know if your home has harmful radon levels.
