Radon between 200 and 600 Bq/m³ Health Canada’s two-year window
Health Canada’s guide for measurements in homes says: between 200 and 600 Bq/m³, take steps to reduce radon within two years. Above 600, within one year. The higher the level, the sooner. There is no risk-free level below 200.
The usual fix is a fan that pulls under the slab. Price changes with the sump, the slab and the pipe route. Opening a window an hour a day does not manufacture an average under 200 while you wait. What to do next. What changes the price.
References: Health Canada, radon: what you need to know and the 200 Bq/m³ guideline. The two-year window between 200 and 600, and the one-year window above 600, come from Health Canada’s guide for radon measurements in homes.
The 4-day test is a first reading. The 91-day test covers the minimum of three months Health Canada asks for. Both are $59 before tax. Shipping, the prepaid return and the lab are included. Tax is extra. The PDF report goes out within 2 business days after the lab receives the detector.
Above 200 Bq/m³, mitigation starts with a quote. Gaz Radon is C-NRPP certified for testing and for installation, and ships kits across Canada.
