Radon Mitigation

Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that can accumulate in homes, posing serious health risks. Testing is the only way to know if your home has elevated radon levels. Radon levels in Canada are measured in becquerels per cubic meter (Bq/m³) of air. Health Canada recommends taking action to reduce radon levels if they are 200 Bq/m³ or higher. Even levels between 100 Bq/m³ and 200 Bq/m³ may pose a health risk, and mitigation should still be considered to reduce long-term exposure.

Understanding Radon Mitigation

Radon mitigation involves installing systems to reduce radon levels in your home. The most common method is sub-slab depressurization, which uses a vent pipe system and fan to pull radon from beneath the house and vent it to the outside. This system is effective and can lower radon levels significantly.

Additional Mitigation Strategies

Sealing Cracks and Openings:
Sealing foundation cracks and openings can make a radon reduction system more effective and cost-efficient. However, sealing alone is not sufficient to reduce radon levels significantly.

Increasing Ventilation:

Improving ventilation by opening windows and using fans can help reduce radon levels temporarily. However, this is not a long-term solution and should be used in conjunction with other mitigation methods.

Choosing a Qualified Radon Professional

It's essential to hire a certified radon mitigation professional to ensure the system is installed correctly.  Obtain written estimates from multiple contractors and ensure they visit your home to assess the situation accurately. 

Post-Mitigation Testing

After installing a radon reduction system, retest your home to ensure radon levels have been adequately reduced. It's also advisable to retest every two years or after significant changes to your home. 
 

Mitigating radon in your home is a proactive step in protecting your health. By testing for radon, implementing effective mitigation strategies, and working with qualified professionals, you can significantly reduce the risk of radon exposure and its associated health risks.
