What is Radon?

the #1 leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers

Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that forms naturally when uranium in soil, rock, and water breaks down. It can seep into homes and buildings through cracks in foundations, floors, and walls. Since it’s invisible and undetectable without specialized equipment, radon can accumulate indoors to high levels without people realizing it.

Long-term exposure to high radon levels is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and the second leading cause in smokers. Testing for radon is the only way to know if a building has high levels, and mitigation systems can be installed to reduce indoor radon concentrations effectively.

How Big of an Issue is Radon in Calgary Area?

Approximately 1/6 test above guideline

Evict Radon – A publicly funded national study has found:

1/6 Calgary homes exceeded Health Canada’s Guideline (200Bq/m3)
An estimated 10.3 million Canadians live in houses that present an elevated risk of developing lung cancer from radon exposure.
In Strathmore, Okotoks and High River 25-50% households meet or exceed the 200 Bq level.

The only way to know your radon health risk is to test, visit our store to find Health Canada Approved radon test or contact us for more info.

Your Home, Your Safety: Mitigating Radon Levels

Guiding Calgary Homeowners Towards a Safer Living Environment

In Calgary, homes with radon levels exceeding 200 Bq/m³ should have mitigation completed according to Health Canada guidelines. RadonCare uses third-party laboratory testing to provide unbiased and accurate results. Our affordable, expert-led residential mitigation services ensure that Calgary and Area residents can confidently protect their families and lower their risk.

How Can I Test My Home For Radon in Calgary?

Testing For Radon in Calgary

Electric Radon Meters – Simply place the meter on a table and measure. The easiest way to test.

Laboratory Test – Single use test, deploy in your home and send to the lab after 3 months.

Because Radon is a long term health risk, only the average level over time can be cause for concern. For this reason any radon test should be done over 3 months or more to determine levels.

If My Levels Are High, How Do I Fix Them?

If your levels are high we can guarantee a fix

Radon mitigation works by installing a bypass system – that is a system that allows the radon containing air below your home to be pulled out and vented outside. One way to think about it is like installing a chimney on the floor of the home.

Using a technique called pressure field diagnostics, RadonCare technicians can determine the area of concern and install a system that will vent the gas away from your home. Our technicians are C-NRPP certified and follow CGSB standards for a worry-free radon reduction system.

Our systems are designed with the best available materials and installation standards. For more info, contact us for a free no obligation consultation.

What is radon, and why should I be concerned about it in Calgary?

The health risk of radon is considered a nonlinear non-threshold simply meaning that there is no amount of radon considered “safe”. While it is true that radon is present in some concentration in all geographic areas (including outdoors), it is agreed that the lower the concentration of radon and your cumulative exposure the better. For a radon mitigation system this means that the smallest additional steps can greatly improve health risk. Our systems are designed to achieve results comparable to outdoor levels of the area (generally from 10 – 40Bq/m3) or below the lowest level of detection.

What is radon, and why should I be concerned about it in Calgary?

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas formed from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. In Calgary, the local geology and construction practices contribute to elevated radon levels, making testing and mitigation essential for safety.

The only way to detect radon is through testing. RadonCare offers reliable test kits and professional radon testing services to provide accurate results.

Is radon only a concern for older homes in Calgary?

No, radon can affect both new and older homes. Construction practices, soil composition, and ventilation play a role in determining radon levels, regardless of the home’s age.

Calgary Radon Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Have to Say

I had over 350 bq/m3 Radon number which is higher than the action level in Canada (200 bq/m3) in my basement and decided to have the Radon Mitigation. Andrew was here and I was so impressed with his work. He was extremely knowledgeable, smart and knew the best way to mitigate the radon in given environment. He was so professional and even very clean after his job is completed. Nothing to complain. I definitely recommend this guy if anyone is suffering from the high Radon number. It's worth the money. My device shows less than 30 bq/m3 now.

Our experience with RadonCare was outstanding. Andrew was highly knowledgeable on the technical aspects of radon remediation and was excellent at providing answers about the system and its installation - I learned a lot! The installation was done with high quality and professionalism. Prior to the mitigation work, our radon levels were in the 400-500 Bq/m^3 range - after RadonCare's work they hover around 10 Bq/m^3.

Chris and Andres installed my mitigation system and they were excellent. Very thorough service, and it took about 8 hours for the whole thing. I actually had a radon rough in (new build so it came with the house) however it was in a bad location, and so they drilled a new one in at no extra cost.

We had readings of 1400 ppm so calling RadonCare was a need, not a want. 2200 square foot bungalow with a wooden basement floor made the task unusual today the least. Not to worry, RadonCare showed up right on time, very rare as we are very rural, conducted tests, installed the system, provided clear and concise information and instructions and left the home cleaner than when he started. Readings are now fare lower than the health Canada guidelines. Some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced.

Nick and Mark showed up on time early in the morning as expected. They understood the job required and did a very good job installing our radon extraction system. Nick was very accommodating, explained everything that needed to be done, and was very professional.

Chris and Nick installed my mitigation system and they were amazing. They did a great job. I am very satisfied with their work. I highly recommend them.

I recently had a radon extraction system installed in my home and I am very pleased with the service and result of the install! Nick was my installer and he was very knowledgeable, super helpful, as well as very respectful of my home. He did a great job of installing the system in my home, it looks very clean and professional. Nick also left my utility room cleaner than when he arrived which is incredibly thoughtful of him. I would recommend this company to anyone for the install and especially Nick as the installer. Awesome job Nick!
