Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is radon and why is it dangerous?

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms when uranium in soil and rock breaks down. It is invisible, odorless, and tasteless — and the second leading cause of lung cancer in Canada after smoking. Long-term exposure to high radon levels can pose serious health risks.

​

2. Why is radon a problem in Regina?

Many areas in Saskatchewan, including Regina, are known to have higher-than-average radon levels due to the geology of the region. Homes in Regina can trap radon gas inside, especially during colder months when ventilation is reduced.

​

3. How do I know if my home has high radon levels?

​

The only way to know if your home has elevated radon levels is through radon testing. We offer professional radon testing in Regina using long-term and short-term radon detectors that meet Health Canada guidelines.

​

4. What is a safe radon level in my home?

Health Canada recommends taking action to reduce radon if levels are above 200 Bq/m³ (becquerels per cubic metre). Our Regina radon mitigation services are designed to bring levels well below that threshold.

​

5. How does radon mitigation work?

Radon mitigation typically involves installing a sub-slab depressurization system that vents radon gas safely outside your home. Our certified radon professionals in Regina customize each system to fit your home’s unique needs.

​

6. Is radon mitigation expensive?

The cost of radon mitigation in Regina varies depending on your home’s foundation, size, and layout. On average, a mitigation system costs between $2,500 and $3,500. However more complicated systems with a crawl space or multiple suction points could be much higher.

​

7. How long does it take to install a radon mitigation system?

Most radon mitigation systems can be installed in one day. We strive to minimize disruption and ensure your home is safe quickly and efficiently.

​

8. Are your radon specialists certified?

Yes, all our technicians are certified through the Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program (C-NRPP). We follow all Health Canada guidelines for radon testing and mitigation in Regina.

​

9. Can I test for radon myself?

Yes, you can purchase a radon test kit. However, for the most accurate and actionable results, we recommend using a certified professional who understands Regina's radon zones and building codes.

 

10. Do new homes in Regina need radon mitigation?

Yes — even new builds can have high radon levels. In fact, airtight, energy-efficient homes may be more prone to trapping radon. We offer radon mitigation systems for both new construction and existing homes.
