Lung Cancer Risk for Non-Smokers
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.
Above the Action Guideline
An estimate from the national radon survey. Levels vary from home to home, so only testing can tell you yours.
Long-Term Testing
Allow roughly three months for testing. Health Canada requires at least 91 days for comparison with its guideline.
Based on Health Canada guidance and the 2024 Cross-Canada Radon Survey.
BENEATH THE SURFACE
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.

WHAT WE DO
Real answers
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 each home, develop a mitigation approach suited to its foundation, and install the suction, venting and seals needed to reduce indoor radon.

MITIGATION OPTIONS
One goal
The right approach
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. Sumps and other potential entry points should be sealed as well.

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.

“The lower radon readings after the system was installed were a real relief. Reiner was careful with the installation, paid attention to the details, and left the space looking great.”
Moe
★★★★★
“Excellent experience from start to finish. The team was approachable, answered my questions, and kept things simple. I would absolutely recommend Radon Pros.”
Ameen
★★★★★
“Our radon readings were in the high 200s before the installation and dropped to close to zero afterward. I am extremely pleased with both the results and the workmanship.”
Jeff
★★★★★
“Moe and Reiner were great to work with. They found a practical way to fit the system into our space, kept everything neat, and made the whole job feel straightforward. Really happy with how it turned out.”

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 testing for at least 91 days (about three months), ideally including colder months. A long-term test gives a more representative average.
Why can radon levels be higher in winter?+
In colder weather, windows and doors are usually closed, which reduces ventilation. Warm air rising through the home can also create pressure differences that draw more radon-containing soil gas through foundation openings. Levels vary by home, so long-term testing remains important.
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.
