What is Radon?

Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that occurs naturally in Missouri soils. It seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, gaps around pipes, and porous concrete block walls. You can't see or smell it, and the only way to know your level is to test.

In Camden County, about 1 in 4 homes tested by Missouri's health department came in at or above 4 pCi/L, the level where the EPA says to fix. See the results for your county. Radon comes from uranium that breaks down naturally in the soil and rock under your home. Many local homes have never been tested despite EPA recommendations.

Good news: Radon mitigation is usually straightforward and cost-effective. A properly installed system reduces levels by 80-99% while your home stays lived-in and comfortable.

Signs You Should Test

•You've never tested your home
•You're buying, selling, or just moved in
•You have a basement or crawl space
•Neighbors have elevated radon levels
•You want peace of mind for your family
•You're planning renovations

Radon in Central Missouri

Why Every Home Here Should Be Tested

Homes in every part of Missouri can have high radon. Homes in the Ozarks region, including Camden, Miller, and Cole counties, can test above 4 pCi/L, the EPA action level.

Levels can be very different from one house to the next, even next door, so a neighbor's test result doesn't tell you yours.

What This Means for Your Home

If your neighbors tested high, your home likely shares similar soil conditions. Foundation type matters—basements often have higher readings than slab-on-grade homes.

Homes with crawl spaces also face moisture and air quality challenges. Crawl space encapsulation is a complementary service that many radon customers pair with their mitigation system.

The only way to know for sure is testing. Two-story homes, finished basements, and homes with good weather sealing can accumulate radon without obvious signs. Sealing cracks helps, but a mitigation system is what brings levels down.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does radon mitigation take?
Most homes are completed in one day. Once we assess your home's layout and foundation type, we'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
Does radon affect basements and crawl spaces differently?
Yes. Basements often have higher radon levels because they're below grade. Crawl spaces can still accumulate radon, especially with dirt floors. Each foundation type needs a tailored approach.
What radon level requires mitigation?
The EPA recommends action at 4 pCi/L or higher. Levels vary a lot from house to house, so testing is the only way to know yours. Even elevated levels below 4 benefit from testing and monitoring.
Will sealing my home help with radon?
Sealing cracks and gaps reduces radon entry points, but it rarely solves the problem alone. A proper mitigation system actively vents radon from beneath your home.
How much does radon mitigation cost in Missouri?
Most Missouri homes range from $1,500-$2,500 depending on foundation type, size, and system design. We provide free on-site estimates with no pressure.
Do I need to test again after mitigation?
Yes. We recommend post-mitigation testing to verify your system is working. Most systems reduce levels by 80-99% when installed correctly.
