Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into your home through the ground. It’s colorless, odorless, and undetectable without professional equipment—but it’s also the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. That’s why Radon Testing is a critical part of a complete home inspection.

In Missouri, radon levels can vary greatly from one neighborhood to the next. Without testing, there’s no way to know if your home is affected. At AMO Home Inspections, we use precise, calibrated equipment to test radon levels over a 48-hour period for accurate, actionable results.

If your radon levels are high, the good news is that mitigation is possible. Ventilation systems can be installed to bring radon to safe levels. Knowing the radon risk ahead of time gives you the power to protect your family and avoid costly surprises after closing.

For buyers, radon test results can be included in negotiations. For homeowners, testing brings peace of mind and long-term health protection. We recommend radon testing during any real estate transaction and every few years for existing homes.

Radon may be invisible, but its impact can be serious. Don’t overlook this important step—especially when it’s affordable, fast, and could save lives. Trust AMO Home Inspections to provide clear answers and dependable testing.
