What is Radon?
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.
Radon Levels in Kelowna May Be Higher Than Expected
Recent research from the Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program (C-NRPP) and the BC Centre for Disease Control (BC CDC) has revealed that radon levels in many parts of British Columbia are significantly higher than previously estimated. While Health Canada’s 2012 data suggested that fewer than 8% of homes exceeded the national guideline for radon, the BC CDC now reports that up to 36% of homes in West Kelowna, 51% in Peachland may be above the recommended safe levels. In some areas, such as Lake Country and Barriere, studies by Take Action On Radon have found that over 50-60% of homes surpass the Health Canada guideline.

Your Home, Your Safety: Mitigating Radon Levels
In BC, homes with radon levels exceeding 200 Bq/m³ should have mitigation completed within 2 years, according to Health Canada guidelines. For levels over 600 Bq/m³, this timeline is reduced to 1 year. RadonCare uses third-party laboratory testing to provide unbiased and accurate results. Our affordable, expert-led residential mitigation services ensure that BC homeowners can confidently protect their families.
How Can I Test My Home For Radon in Kelowna?
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.
