Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that can pose serious long-term health risks—and you wouldn’t even know it’s there without testing.

At Quality General Appraisals & Home Inspections, we provide professional radon testing in Springfield, MO and surrounding areas including Ozark, Nixa, Republic, Strafford, Marshfield, and Bolivar to help you make informed, confident decisions about your home.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas formed from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It can enter homes through even the smallest openings and accumulate to dangerous levels indoors.

Common entry points include:

• Foundation cracks 
• Crawlspaces 
• Basement floors and walls 
• Plumbing penetrations 
• Sump pits and utility openings 

Because radon is invisible and odorless, testing is the only way to know if your home is affected.

💡 According to the EPA, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, and prolonged exposure can significantly increase health risks.

👉 The EPA recommends taking action at 4.0 pCi/L or higher, but even lower levels can carry risk over time.

Radon is especially important to test for in Springfield and Southwest Missouri, where soil conditions can lead to elevated radon levels.

In our experience serving:

• Springfield 
• Ozark 
• Nixa 
• Republic 
• Strafford 
• Marshfield 

👉 It’s not uncommon for homes—both new and old—to test at or above recommended action levels.

Even well-maintained homes with no visible issues can have elevated radon levels, making testing a critical step for homeowners and buyers.

We use professional-grade continuous radon monitors (CRM) to ensure accurate, reliable, and tamper-resistant results.

• Device is placed in the lowest livable level of the home 
• Test runs for a minimum of 48 hours 
• Conditions are monitored for tampering or environmental interference 
• Data is recorded continuously for accuracy 
• A detailed report is delivered promptly 

📊 You’ll receive clear, easy-to-understand results along with professional guidance on what they mean.

We recommend radon testing in the following situations:

• 🏠 You’re buying or selling a home 
• 🔄 It’s been 2+ years since your last test 
• 🛠️ You’ve remodeled or finished a basement 
• 🌎 You live in a radon-prone area like Southwest Missouri 
• 🧪 You’ve never tested your home before 

👉 Even new construction homes can have radon issues due to soil conditions and building design.

Many buyers assume radon is part of a typical inspection—it is not.

A standard home inspection does not measure radon levels.

👉 Radon testing is a separate, specialized service that requires specific equipment and procedures.

Without testing, elevated radon levels can go completely unnoticed.

If elevated radon levels are detected:

• We explain your results clearly and professionally 
• Provide guidance on recommended next steps 
• Recommend mitigation when appropriate 
• Connect you with trusted local radon mitigation professionals 

💡 The good news:
Most radon issues can be corrected with a simple and effective mitigation system, often involving a venting system that safely removes radon gas from beneath the home.

Radon testing is a low-cost service compared to the potential health risks and financial impact of not knowing.

Benefits include:

• Peace of mind for you and your family 
• Protection during real estate transactions 
• Negotiation leverage when buying a home
