Radon Testing Calgary

When to Test Your Home
Test your home for radon, especially if it has never been tested, during real estate transactions, or after renovations.
Seal cracks and openings in your home's foundation to reduce radon entry. Radon can enter your home though the smallest spaces.
Short term test is not reliable. You should take action after a long term test and if your radon levels are elevated.
Make sure if you have sump that it is sealed properly. Also check if there is a hole under your furnace. These are major radon entry points into your home.

How to Test for Radon
You can test your home for radon using a do-it-yourself test kit or by hiring a professional. Short-term kits measure radon levels for typically 4 – 7 days, providing quick results. Long-term kits measure levels for 91 days up to a year, giving an accurate year-round average. To find a qualified electronic radon monitor or to obtain a test kit, check out cnrpp.ca
Interpreting Test Results
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. Remember any level of radon is not risk free.

Testing your home for radon is a proactive step in safeguarding your health. By taking action, you can reduce the risk of lung cancer and ensure a safer living environment for you and your family.
