Take action
If your radon test result is above the Canadian Guideline of 200 Bq/m3 you should hire a certified radon mitigation professional to lower your radon level. A radon mitigation system can be installed in less than a day and in most homes will reduce the radon level by more than 80%.

About radon
Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It is invisible, odourless and tasteless. In enclosed spaces, like homes, it can accumulate to high levels and become a risk to the health of you and your family.
