Radon Testing & Mitigation in Affton, Missouri
Affton’s dense post-war housing stock, crawl spaces, and older poured concrete foundations create significant radon entry points. Most Affton homeowners have never tested. Don’t be one of them.
Why Affton Homes Are at Radon Risk
Affton is an unincorporated community with a dense concentration of post-war housing — and one of the lower rates of radon testing in South County.
Post-War Construction
The majority of Affton’s housing was built between 1945 and 1965, during the post-war housing boom. These homes were constructed quickly and efficiently — but without any consideration for radon, which wasn’t identified as a health risk until decades later.
Poured concrete foundations from this era develop cracks over time as the concrete cures and settles. These hairline cracks are the most common radon entry point in Affton homes, and they’re virtually invisible without testing.
Crawl Spaces Are Common
Many Affton homes — particularly the smaller post-war bungalows — were built with crawl spaces rather than full basements. An unsealed crawl space is essentially a direct connection between the radon-producing soil and your home’s living area above.
Low Testing Rate = Unknown Risk
Because Affton is unincorporated and doesn’t have the same active real estate market visibility as neighboring Kirkwood or Webster Groves, radon testing is less common here. Many longtime Affton homeowners have never tested — and have no idea what their level is.
The EPA’s Zone 1 classification applies to all of St. Louis County, including Affton. The geology beneath Affton homes is the same uranium-bearing rock and soil that makes neighboring communities high-risk.
Gravois Road Corridor
Homes throughout the Gravois Road corridor and surrounding streets in Affton share similar construction characteristics and geology. If you’ve lived in your Affton home for years without testing, now is the time to find out your level.
