Lung Cancer and Radon
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among Canadians who do not smoke. Risk increases as concentrations rise and exposure continues over time.

WHY RADON MATTERS
Some things deserve
a closer look
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. It has no smell or colour, and it can build up indoors without anyone noticing. The only way to know your level is to test.
See how radon enters a homeEvery Reduction Matters
No radon level is entirely risk-free. Health Canada recommends corrective action at or above 200 Bq/m³, and lower long-term exposure means lower risk.
Homes Across Alberta
About one in six Alberta homes is estimated to be at or above the Canadian action guideline. Only testing tells you what is happening in yours.
Long-Term Testing
A long-term test takes about three months. Health Canada specifies at least 91 days for guideline comparison. Colder months often bring higher readings.
Based on Health Canada guidance and the 2024 Cross-Canada Radon Survey.
WHY THE SEASON MATTERS
Why Radon Can Be Higher in Winter
In colder weather, windows and doors are generally closed, which reduces ventilation. As warm air rises through the home, pressure differences can also draw more radon-containing soil gas through foundation openings. Every home is different, so long-term testing matters.
WHY WE DO THISThis is about the air
This is about the air
your family breathes
Radon exposure adds up over time. Testing gives you a starting point, and the right mitigation approach can help reduce soil gas before it enters your living spaces.

The science is invisible
The solution isn't
See where radon comes from, how it enters, and how a mitigation system redirects it.
It starts in
the ground
Radon forms naturally in soil and rock. The gas can move through the ground and collect beneath a home's foundation.
It finds a way
inside
Cracks in the concrete, gaps around service pipes and other openings can allow soil gas to enter your living space.
Then we move it
out of the home
An active mitigation system uses a continuously operating fan and sealed piping to draw soil gas from beneath the foundation and safely discharge it outdoors.

Real solutions
Radon testing
We help homeowners understand long-term testing, detector placement and what their results mean. Radon levels change from day to day, so a single reading rarely tells the whole story.
Ask about testing
Radon mitigation
We assess the foundation, determine a practical suction point and install the fan and sealed vent piping needed to move soil gas safely outdoors.

MITIGATION OPTIONS
One goal
The right approach
Two common methods. The right one depends on your foundation and the connections available.
Newer Alberta homes may already have a capped radon rough-in following building-code changes introduced in 2015. We can check whether yours is present and suitable to use.
COMMON METHOD / 01
Draw soil gas from beneath the slab
Where a suitable rough-in exists, we connect a continuously operating radon fan close to the pipe and route sealed venting through the basement. Sump and other potential entry points can also be sealed.

100Bq/m³
Below the Canadian action guideline
A long-term result below 200 Bq/m³ is below the Canadian action guideline. Lower is still better.
THE EXPERIENCE
From uncertainty
to a plan
Clear steps. Good communication. A solution matched to the property.
It Starts With a Conversation
Tell us about your property, any radon readings you already have and what you'd like to understand.
Measure What Matters
A long-term test provides the clearest starting point. We can explain device placement and how to interpret the results.
Choose the Right Approach
If your home needs mitigation, we assess the foundation, possible suction locations and an appropriate vent route.
Know the Difference It Makes
After installation, homeowners arrange follow-up long-term testing to confirm the reduction.

GOOD QUESTIONS
Let's clear
the air
Answers to the questions Edmonton homeowners ask most often.
Ask us something else ↗What is radon, exactly?+
Radon is a radioactive gas produced naturally as uranium breaks down in soil and rock. It can enter buildings through openings in their foundations. Because it has no colour, smell or taste, testing is the only way to know your indoor level.
How long should I test my home?+
Health Canada recommends a long-term test of at least three months (91 days or longer), ideally including the heating season. Indoor levels often rise in colder months, so a longer test gives a more representative result.
What if my reading is above 200 Bq/m³?+
Health Canada recommends corrective action when a long-term average is 200 Bq/m³ or higher. The lower your radon exposure, the better. You can also ask about reducing levels below the guideline.
How does a mitigation system work?+
A common approach uses a fan and sealed pipe to collect soil gas beneath the building and direct it outdoors. Routing and exhaust placement vary by house. A follow-up measurement is important to confirm performance.
Is radon only a concern in basements?+
No. Radon often enters from the ground, but it can affect occupied spaces on other floors as well. Test the lowest level of your home that is regularly occupied.
Do I need to test again after mitigation?+
Yes. Homeowners arrange a long-term post-installation test to confirm that levels have dropped. Follow-up measurement is not included in our mitigation installation service.
Can mitigation typically be installed in one day?+
Many typical residential systems can be completed in about a day, but the actual schedule depends on access, site conditions, foundation and the proposed vent route.
Do you help with commercial properties?+
We can discuss radon work for commercial buildings, multi-unit properties, new construction and existing systems. Contact us with the building details and we can review the scope.
