Airdrie is one of Alberta's fastest-growing commuter cities, and much of its housing stock is newer and built tightly to modern energy-efficiency standards. Well-sealed homes lose less heat, but they can also trap soil gases like radon indoors. Because the Canadian prairies sit on uranium-bearing soils and bedrock that can produce elevated indoor radon, testing is the only way to know your home's level, regardless of how new it is.
Radon is a colourless, odourless gas released as uranium in the ground breaks down. It can enter any home through foundation cracks, sump pits and service penetrations, then accumulate in the lowest occupied levels. Airdrie's rapid growth means thousands of recently built homes across communities like Bayside, Cooper's Crossing and Kings Heights — and a brand-new build is no guarantee of a low reading, since construction style and soil conditions both play a role.
Health Canada sets a guideline of 200 Bq/m³, above which it recommends taking action to reduce radon. The only way to know where your home stands is to measure, and a long-term test of 90 days or more gives the most accurate picture of what your family actually breathes year-round. If results come back elevated, sub-slab depressurization — the gold-standard mitigation method — can reliably bring levels down.
We test your Airdrie home to the C-NRPP standard, explain the result in plain language, and — if it's above the 200 Bq/m³ guideline — design a sub-slab depressurization system and re-test to prove it worked.
See mitigationYes. Newer, energy-efficient homes are built tightly to conserve heat, which can also reduce natural air exchange and allow radon to build up. A home's age does not predict its radon level — soil conditions and construction details both matter. The only reliable way to know your level is to test, ideally with a long-term 90-day measurement.
For the most accurate results, Health Canada recommends a long-term test of at least 90 days, which captures seasonal changes in how your home holds radon. We set up the test, leave it in place, then collect and interpret the data. If your level is above the 200 Bq/m³ guideline, we'll walk you through mitigation options.
Whether you're in an established Airdrie neighbourhood or a brand-new build, testing is a straightforward step toward peace of mind. We work to the C-NRPP standard and explain every result in plain language. Request a free quote and we'll help you understand your home's radon level and what, if anything, to do about it.
