Health Canada recommends taking action if your home's radon level is at or above 200 Bq/m³. There is no truly "safe" level — lower is always better — but 200 Bq/m³ is the guideline for mitigation.
The only way is to test. Radon is invisible and odourless, and levels vary enormously from home to home — even between neighbours. A test gives you a clear number in Bq/m³.
A short-term test runs a few days to a week — useful when you need fast answers, like a home sale. A long-term test (90+ days) is the most accurate for your true average. Health Canada recommends long-term where possible.
Most residential mitigation systems fall in a typical range depending on your home's size, foundation and layout. We diagnose first and give you a clear, upfront quote — no surprises. Request a free quote for your specific home.
Yes. A properly engineered sub-slab depressurization system typically reduces radon to a small fraction of the original level. We re-test after installation to prove it.
They can — and sometimes more than older ones, because modern homes are sealed tightly and trap gas. Many newer Alberta homes include a "radon rough-in," which makes mitigation simpler, but it still needs testing to confirm.
Test early. A short-term test documents the level for the transaction, and if it's high, mitigation can be completed quickly so the deal isn't delayed. We work on real-estate timelines.
We work to the C-NRPP (Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program) standard — the recognized benchmark for radon measurement and mitigation in Canada.
