What is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas released from the ground as uranium breaks down in soil and rock. It rises through the earth and can seep into homes through cracks in foundations, basement floors, drains, and sumps.It’s completely invisible — you can’t see, smell, or taste it — yet it can build up indoors, especially in basements and lower levels.Here on the Western Canadian Prairies, radon levels are among the highest in the world. In cold climates like ours, homes remain sealed for much of the year, allowing radon to accumulate indoors.Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels increases the risk of lung cancer. In Canada, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer overall and the leading cause among non-smokers.Testing is the only way to know your home’s level.
Why Test?
Radon levels vary from house to house — even side by side.
New homes are not automatically radon-safe.
The Western Canadian Prairies have some of the highest recorded radon levels globally.
Radon is a leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.
Testing is simple, affordable, and non-invasive.
Knowing your level allows you to make informed decisions.
Testing gives you clarity.

Understanding Your Results
In Canada, radon is measured in Bq/m³ (becquerels per cubic metre).Below 200 Bq/m³:
Health Canada does not recommend immediate mitigation. You may choose to improve ventilation in the lowest level of your home (when weather allows) and continue testing every two years to monitor changes.Above 200 Bq/m³:
Health Canada recommends taking steps to reduce radon levels. Professional mitigation is the most effective way to significantly lower indoor radon.Radon levels fluctuate daily and seasonally. Longer-term testing provides a more accurate average.
Need Radon Mitigation?
If your results show elevated radon levels, mitigation may be recommended.Radon mitigation is a professional process that reduces radon levels by safely venting radon gas from beneath the home to the outside.Mitigation is a separate service performed by certified professionals.
