Residential Radon Testing
Radon Testing in Homes
Radon is an extremely radioactive gas that is found in many homes across Ontario. In residences, radon is more commonly present in lower levels of the home that you most frequent.
The Government of Canada has recently lowered the acceptable level of radon that can be present in a home before remedial action must be taken, making it more important than ever to have professional radon testing conducted. Doing so will determine whether you and your family are at risk.
Residential Radon Testing Services
Our methods are safe and Government approved. In fact, you and your family can remain at home during testing.
For best results we use E-PERM detectors, the industry standard in radon testing equipment. These professional testing devices are composed of a plastic canister that contains an electrostatically charged disk detector. The E-PERM method allows radon to diffuse through a filtered opening in the chamber, and the decay of radon reduces the electrostatic charge within the disk, which is then analyzed to determine the levels of radon gas within the home. We can also determine additional radon risks if your home uses well water.
Testing usually lasts from 4 to 90 days and is recommended by Health Canada guidelines for measuring radon gas levels in homes. Radon testing requires skilled professionals and specialized equipment to accurately read results and properly determine if or what actions should be taken.
