Comprehensive radon testing, mitigation, and monitoring services with specialized solutions for real estate transactions and long-term radon management in Calgary homes and businesses.

Why Radon Testing Matters

Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally from the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It's completely invisible, odorless, and tasteless—making it impossible to detect without proper testing. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking and is responsible for approximately 3,200 lung cancer deaths in Canada each year.

Calgary and surrounding areas have varying levels of radon concentration due to geological conditions. Some neighborhoods have significantly elevated levels, while others have minimal risk. The only way to know your radon exposure is through professional testing. Health Canada recommends that all homes be tested for radon, especially those in areas with known radon potential.

Radon is a Serious Health Risk

Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels significantly increases lung cancer risk. Health Canada's guideline is 200 Bq/m³—if your home exceeds this, mitigation is strongly recommended.

Understanding Radon Levels

< 200 Bq/m³

Acceptable Level

Below Health Canada's guideline. No immediate action required, but consider retesting every 2-5 years.

200-600 Bq/m³

Elevated Level

Above guideline. Mitigation recommended within 2 years. Consider sooner if levels are higher.

> 600 Bq/m³

High Level

Significantly elevated. Health Canada recommends mitigation within 1 year. Act promptly.

Note: Radon levels fluctuate with seasons, weather, and building conditions. Long-term testing (90+ days) provides the most accurate average for decision-making.
