Trusted Home Inspectors in Chesterfield, MO

Radon is found everywhere in the environment, is present in all 50 U.S. states, and is a fairly common problem for Missouri. In fact, Radon is common enough to be known as the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, and according to the EPA, nearly 1 in 15 homes have elevated dangerous levels of Radon. In Missouri, those numbers are estimated to be 1 in 5.

We provide fast and easy professional Radon testing with highly sensitive and accurate detailed results. If you would like us to help you with your Radon testing needs, we would be happy to help you. Our testing takes 48 hours and we most often provide you with results the same day as we retrieve the testing monitor. Because rock and soil formations are not uniform and due to the variables in house construction and occupancy patterns, one home can test high and the one next door can test low. Testing is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk.

If the Radon levels in your home are high, take the steps necessary to reduce the levels in your home. Radon mitigation can consist of installing an active Radon removal system in your home, fixing any ventilation issues present, and sealing Radon entry routes. Mitigation will reduce Radon levels in your home and prevent Radon from entering your living space.

Sealing alone is not a solution, but it is a step in the process of mitigation. Diluting the Radon gas by opening doors and windows may seem like a solution, but it is impractical and would typically only be done until a permanent system can be placed.

Testing for Radon is a common step of real estate transactions. If a Radon problem exists, rest assured that it is fixable. A mitigation system can be custom installed to reduce the unwanted Radon levels.
