Radon is a naturally occurring gas that arises from the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. Radon is notoriously difficult to detect due to its tiny molecular size. This makes it all too easy for radon to seep into homes through even the smallest cracks in foundations or other openings.

Once inside, long-term exposure to radon’s ionizing radiation can pose a significant health risk. Notably, radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, making it essential for homeowners to be aware of the risks and take steps to mitigate them, especially when levels exceed 200 Becquerels per cubic meter (Bq/m3), as recommended by Health Canada guidelines.

Radon in your Home

Health Canada advises long-term testing for a minimum of 3 months, ideally during the fall/winter heating season when doors & windows remain closed.

Radon Test Kits

Choose the short-term radon detector kit for a quick screening period (10–90 days), the long-term radon detector kit for a more representative reading (90–365 days), or our combo bundle with both detectors.
All radon detectors are C-NRPP certified and manufactured by Radonova.

Talk to our team of experts if you need to test a multi-unit residential building, a workplace or several facilities?

Do you have multiple units or properties to test?

Our experts can plan & manage multi-site testing for you.

How it works

  1. Place the radon detector in the lowest lived-in level (or rooms you spend 4+ hours/day).
  2. Leave it for the desired testing period.
  3. After the testing period has ended, return the radon test kit in the self addressed envelope for lab analysis.
  4. Get your certified report with your average radon concentration and next-step guidance.

When to test for Radon

You can test for Radon anytime, but Health Canada recommends testing during the heating season (fall/winter) because indoor radon levels tends to be highest at this time. Testing in the spring/summer can result in a falsely low radon level leavening occupants at risk.

What is included in the kit

Our Radon test kits include the following:

  • Radon Detector(s)
  • Deployment instructions
  • Self addressed envelope for return to laboratory
  • Lab Analysis (ISO/IEC 17025–accredited)
  • 24/7 access to reports

What if your results are high?

If your test results exceed 200 (Bq/m3) as recommended by Health Canada guidelines, we suggest using the C-NRPP “Find a Professional directory to locate certified radon mitigation professionals in your area.

Need help with larger buildings?

If you are responsible for a multi unit residence, rental portfolio, or facility, our team can help design a coordinated testing program, including scoping, scheduling, and managing multi location projects so everything rolls up into one clear, easy to act on report.

FAQs

Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless radioactive gas that emits ionizing radiation, which can build up indoors and increase lung-cancer risk over time.

In the lowest lived-in level (basement or main floor) where occupants spend 4+ hours/day. Avoid kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, or spots with drafts or direct sunlight.

At minimum, it’s recommended to add a radon detector on the lowest lived-in level (or any room you spend 4+ hours/day). Add additional detectors for large homes, multiple bedrooms on different floors, or rooms you use regularly.

In Canada, the guideline action level is 200 Bq/m³ (annual average). If your result is at or above that level, mitigation is recommended.

Most reports are issued within a few weeks of the lab receiving your detector.

We recommend confirming with another long-term test or consulting our experts for placement review and mitigation advice.
