Frequently Asked Questions about Radon

How often should I test for radon?
Health Canada recommends testing your home or workplace every 2-5 years, or after any major renovations that could affect the building’s foundation
What are acceptable radon levels?
According to Health Canada, action should be taken if radon levels exceed 200 Bq/m³ (becquerels per cubic meter). While no level of radon is completely safe, reducing radon levels as much as possible is recommended.
​Can new homes have radon?
Yes, even newly constructed homes can have elevated radon levels. In fact, Health Canada encourages builders to incorporate radon-resistant construction techniques in areas known for high radon potential
