You wouldn't think about it until you're buying a home in west county, but radon testing is one of those things that can save you a headache later. I had a friend skip it, and the levels were high enough to make you nervous. It's just a simple kit, you set it up, leave it for a few days, and send it off. Peace of mind is worth the small effort.

So I've been looking into radon systems for houses in St Charles County, and it's crazy how many homes here can have high levels without you knowing. Since radon is a radioactive gas that seeps up from the soil, mitigation usually involves installing a vent pipe and fan system under the foundation to pull it outside. A lot of local real estate agents recommend testing before you buy or sell, because fixing it isn't super expensive, but ignoring it can be a health risk over time.

After installing a radon mitigation system, you typically wait a few days before retesting the air to make sure the system is working. Radon levels can fluctuate with weather and seasons, so the best time for a retest is during the heating season when windows stay closed. A simple short-term test kit placed in the lowest lived-in area will tell you if your efforts have brought radon down to safe levels.
