What it means for your home

Your house can be very different from your neighbor's

Testing is the only way to know

Radon has no color or smell. These numbers come from homes that were tested, mostly with free state test kits. Two houses on the same street can test very differently.

When to fix it

The EPA says to fix your home at 4 pCi/L or higher, and to think about fixing it between 2 and 4. The average home in the U.S. is about 1.3 pCi/L.

Missouri has no radon license

The state health department recommends a certified contractor. SafeGuard's owner is an NRPP-certified radon specialist (#116252-RMS). Missouri doesn't require sellers to test, but a radon system should go on the seller's disclosure.
