Radon Testing Helps Keep Your Home Safe

By now, everyone should be aware of the hazards of Radon gas in a home. Almost every home has it in various concentrations and exposure to it increases your risk of developing lung cancer, second only to smoking in preventable lung disease. The risk of cancer depends on the level of Radon in your home and how long you are exposed to it. Health Canada recommends Radon testing by a service professional, and since levels vary over periods of time, a 96 hour test is considered the minimum for ensuring measurable results. Further long term testing is available. “If the Radon level in your home is above the Canadian guideline of 200 becquerels / meter3, toxicity levels would need to be addressed”. Radon tests are non-intrusive, and Lab Reports will help determine if your home is healthy or may need remediation. Radon testing now available for $200. including test kit and lab report.
