Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It’s invisible, odorless, and tasteless — the only way to know if it’s in your home is through testing.

Radon is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels can pose serious health risks. Health Canada recommends testing all homes for radon.

Radon seeps into your home through cracks in the foundation, gaps around pipes, sump pits, and even through the concrete itself. Once inside, it can accumulate to high levels.

• Short-term tests (2–7 days) give a quick snapshot of radon levels, often used for real estate transactions or initial screening.
• Long-term tests (90 days to 1 year) provide a more accurate average of your home’s radon exposure over time.

We will never recommend mitigation based off just a short-term test.
