Radon Testing
Professional radon testing services using certified equipment to accurately measure radon levels in your Calgary home or building. We offer both short-term and long-term testing options to meet your needs.
Why Professional Radon Testing Matters
Radon is an invisible, odorless radioactive gas that can accumulate in homes and buildings to dangerous levels. It's the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. The only way to know if you have a radon problem is through proper testing with certified equipment.
Health Canada recommends that all homes be tested for radon, especially in areas like Calgary where geological conditions can lead to elevated radon concentrations. Professional testing ensures accurate results you can trust for making informed decisions about your indoor air quality.
When Should You Test?
Test when buying or selling a home, after major renovations, before finishing a basement, or if you've never tested before. Health Canada recommends retesting every 2-5 years even if previous results were acceptable.
