Radon testing & mitigation · Cochrane & Calgary

Know your radon level. Then fix it for good.

Radon is an invisible gas that seeps up from the ground into homes. The only way to know your level is to measure it. We test, explain the result in plain words, and fix it if you need to.

Questions

My home is new. Do I still need to test?

Yes. Health Canada recommends testing every home, new or old. Tighter, more efficient homes can trap more radon.

Why not a quick short-term test?

Radon levels change daily and seasonally. A 90-day test gives the average the guideline is based on.

What does mitigation involve?

Usually a sealed pipe and a quiet fan that draw radon from under the slab and vent it outside. We'll walk you through your home's setup before any work starts.

Will you try to sell me other upgrades?

No. We give you the reading and the options. If your result is below the guideline, we'll tell you that, and that's it.

The heating season is the best time to test.
