What Radon Testing Tells You

Radon levels can vary widely from one home to the next, even on the same street.

Testing tells you:

whether radon is present in your home
how elevated the levels are
whether any action is recommended

Health Canada recommends taking action above 200 Bq/m³.

No two houses are the same. Radon gas enters from the ground. Factors like soil conditions, foundation type, small cracks, sump pits, and airflow inside the home all affect how much radon builds up.

If you haven’t tested, there’s no reliable way to estimate your risk.

Your Radon Testing Options

Short-Term Radon Test

We offer a free 15-minute radon spot test and consultation.

This is a simple way to get a quick sense of your home’s current radon level and understand what to do next.

We start with this quick test to gauge urgency. If levels are well above the 200 Bq/m³ guideline, you may want to take action immediately.

If a longer testing period is needed, we’ll recommend a 90-day test.

Long-Term Radon Test

Long-term testing is the most reliable way to understand your home’s average radon level.

These tests:

are typically left in place for 90 days or more
provide an accurate picture over time
are recommended for confirming results

Once complete, you send the test to a lab using a prepaid envelope, and results are provided by email.

What Happens After Testing

If radon levels are low, no further action is usually needed.

If levels are elevated, we’ll explain:

what the numbers mean
whether additional testing is recommended
what mitigation options look like

Every home is different. Some situations call for a simple next step, while others may require a mitigation system.

When Should You Test for Radon?

You should consider testing if:

you’ve never tested your home
you’ve recently moved into a new home
you’re planning a renovation, especially in the basement
you spend time in basement or lower-level spaces

In Winnipeg and across Manitoba, radon levels can be higher than the national average, which makes testing an important step for homeowners. The Province of Manitoba estimates that 19% of homes exceed Health Canada’s guideline, compared with about 7% across Canada.

Winnipeg’s climate can also contribute to radon buildup. Homes are often sealed for long periods during winter and summer, which can allow radon to accumulate indoors.

How Much Does Radon Testing Cost?

DIY long-term radon test kits typically cost between $40 and $150.

We offer a free 15-minute radon test and consultation to help you understand your starting point and decide what to do next.
