Many people in Missouri don't realize that radon levels can be dangerously high in their own basements and crawlspaces. The gas seeps up from the ground in certain regions, especially around the Ozarks and central part of the state, and testing is the only way to know if your home is affected.

It's a common fix in homes with high radon levels, often paired with sealing gaps in the foundation for better effectiveness.
