RADON GAS ABATEMENT
Radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US after tobacco. It comes from the ground, entering your home through the basement. Northern Wisconsin has been identified as having more than average radon gas. I can test your home. If radon gas is present I can help you make your home safe. The test is only $90. Good insurance when you consider the alternative! Call me today!

My wife, Sybil, and I raise a litter of Golden Retriever puppies every summer. Goldens are easy to train, great hunters, wonderful companions, good watchdogs and not very likely to bite the mailman! Studies show that people with dogs live longer, too! Call us when you are ready for one of these wonderful companions! 715-798-3163
