Radon Testing and Mitigation Services for Your Home

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Radon and why is it dangerous?

Radon gas is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps into homes through cracks and openings in the foundation. Long-term exposure to this gas poses significant health risks of radon, making it the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. To address this concern, it's essential to consider a Radon mitigation system and consult with a C-NRPP Certified Professional for effective Radon testing.

2. How do I know if my home has high Radon levels?

The only way to know the levels of Radon gas in your home is through proper Radon testing. Since Radon is invisible, odorless, and tasteless, a certified Radon test conducted by a C-NRPP Certified Professional is essential for accurate measurement. Understanding the health risks of Radon is crucial, and if elevated levels are found, a Radon mitigation system may be necessary.

3. What level of Radon is considered unsafe?

Health Canada recommends action if radon levels exceed 200 Bq/m³ due to the health risks of radon. Many homeowners opt for a radon mitigation system even at lower levels for extra peace of mind. Consulting a C-NRPP Certified Professional for radon testing can help ensure your home is safe from radon gas.

4. How does a Radon mitigation system work?

Health Canada advises that action should be taken if Radon levels exceed 200 Bq/m³ due to the potential health risks of Radon. Many homeowners opt for a Radon mitigation system even at lower levels for added peace of mind. To ensure safety, it is wise to engage a C-NRPP Certified Professional for Radon testing.

5. How much does mitigation cost?

The cost of a Radon mitigation system depends on several factors, including the size of your home, foundation type, and the most effective system for your situation. Since Radon gas poses health risks of Radon exposure, it’s important to have a C-NRPP Certified Professional assess your property. Because every property is unique, we provide customized assessments and quotes to ensure you receive the right solution, including thorough Radon testing.

6. How long does installation take?

Most residential Radon mitigation systems are installed in one day by a C-NRPP Certified Professional. However, commercial projects or more complex cases may take longer, depending on the building structure and the specific health risks of Radon that need to be addressed. Proper Radon testing is essential to determine the necessary requirements for effective mitigation.

7. Can Radon return after mitigation?

If the Radon mitigation system is properly installed and maintained by a C-NRPP Certified Professional, Radon gas levels will remain low. We recommend conducting Radon testing again after installation and at least every two years to monitor and mitigate any health risks of Radon.

8. Is mitigation covered by warranty?

Yes. Our systems, including the Radon mitigation system, come with warranties on both materials and workmanship. Prior to installation, we’ll review these warranties with you so you understand exactly what is covered, especially in relation to the health risks of Radon and the importance of Radon testing. As a C-NRPP Certified Professional, we ensure you have peace of mind regarding Radon gas safety.
