Test for Radon at Home
Radon testing detects elevated levels of radon, a radioactive, colourless and odourless gas.
In confined spaces, radon is a significant health risk. In fact, it’s the second leading cause of lung cancer, according to Health Canada. Radon testing is the only method to determine if your home has elevated levels of radon, so test your home for radon today!
Testing your home for radon is fast and easy
You can’t test your home for radon yourself. It takes a fully trained technician to conduct the test and make educated recommendations to reduce radon to safe levels.
We are part of the largest network of certified radon detection and mitigation experts in Canada. Our team is trained and certified through the National Environmental Health Association’s
National Radon Proficiency Program. This is the only governing body
for radon testing recognized by Health Canada.
If you’re concerned about radon levels in your home and want to determine if your family is at risk, radon testing from D&B ClimateCare can give you peace of mind.
What is radon and why is it in my home?
Radon is a radioactive gas found naturally in the environment. It is produced by the decay of uranium found in soil, rock or water. Radon is invisible, odourless and tasteless. As a gas, radon moves freely through the soil and escapes easily to the atmosphere or into buildings.
When radon is confined to airtight spaces, like a modern home, it can accumulate and become toxic. Radon levels are generally highest in basements and crawl spaces because these areas are nearest to the source and are usually poorly ventilated.
Radon gas symptoms include:
- Loss of appetite
- Chronic cough
- Breathing difficulties
- Frequent respiratory infections
