Why Webster Groves Homes Are at Higher Radon Risk

Webster Groves isn’t just charming — its older housing stock and local geology make it one of the higher-risk communities in South County for elevated indoor radon.

Older Construction = More Entry Points

The majority of homes in Webster Groves were built before 1970. These older homes often have foundation cracks, gaps around pipes and utility entries, and construction techniques that weren’t designed with radon in mind.

Craftsman bungalows, colonial two-stories, and brick ranches — all common in Webster — typically have full basements where radon accumulates to its highest concentrations before moving into living areas.

Missouri Zone 1 Geology

The EPA classifies St. Louis County as Zone 1 — the highest predicted average indoor radon level in the country. The underlying geology in the Webster Groves area contains uranium-bearing soils and rock that produce radon gas as they naturally decay.

What This Means for Your Home

Radon gas seeps upward through the soil and enters homes through any opening at or below ground level. In Webster Groves, that means basement floor cracks, sump pits, utility penetrations, and even through porous concrete blocks.

Because radon is invisible and odorless, many Webster Groves homeowners have been living with elevated levels for years without knowing it. The only way to know is to test.

Webster Groves Radon FAQs

Are Webster Groves homes at higher radon risk than other areas?
Yes. The combination of pre-1970 construction, full basements, and Zone 1 geology makes Webster Groves one of the higher-risk communities in South County. That said, radon levels vary house by house — the only way to know your specific level is to test.
My home was built in the 1920s — is radon more likely?
Older homes tend to have more potential radon entry points — foundation cracks, gaps around old pipes, deteriorating mortar in block walls. But age alone doesn’t determine your radon level. A test is the only definitive answer.
How much does radon testing cost in Webster Groves?
A professional short-term radon test in Webster Groves typically costs $100–$175. For real estate transactions, the test is usually ordered by the buyer as part of the inspection process. Call (314) 334-5417 for a specific quote.
We’re selling our Webster Groves home — should we test first?
Strongly recommended. Pre-listing testing gives you control. If levels are low, you can market that. If levels are high, you can mitigate before buyers discover it — avoiding a last-minute negotiation or deal falling through.
