C-NRPP / PNCR-C certified 4 days: fast measurement 91 days: Health Canada method

Health Canada recommends a measurement of at least 3 months (91 days), preferably during the heating season, to estimate annual exposure. The 4-day detector is a fast first assessment.

Which radon test should you order?

4-day detector — fast measurement

The short test gives a first measurement in four days: a screen, one room, or a tight timeline. It does not replace the 91-day measurement Health Canada recommends.

Also useful after work on the house, or for a one-off check.

Order the 4-day test

91-day detector — reference measurement

Radon changes with the seasons. A 91-day (about 3 months) test, ideally in winter when the house is closed and heated, gives a more representative average.

Use this format when you want to know if mitigation is actually needed.

Order the 91-day test

C-NRPP certification

Gaz Radon Québec is certified under the Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program (C-NRPP / PNCR-C) for measurement and mitigation. The lab report is readable. If the result is above 200 Bq/m³, we can design a system for the house.

Health Canada guideline: 200 Bq/m³. Above that, mitigation is recommended. The test measures the level; it does not remove radon.

How to place the detector

The sheet is in the kit. The video is emailed when the package is delivered: 4 days or 91 days.

  1. Open the tube, take out the sheet, and write the start date and time.
  2. Unscrew the cap or pull the tab. Leave the detector in the tube.
  3. Place it in the lowest lived-in room, 0.8 m to 2 m above the floor, away from heat, electronics and air vents.
  4. Leave it 4 days or 91 days. Close the cap, write the end date and time, put the sheet in the tube and close the lid.

How to send the detector back

The result comes after you send the finished test. Three steps. No need to drop the parcel at a drop-off point, or to book the pickup with a carrier’s customer service.

  1. On the portal, enter the order number and the checkout email: return the detector.
  2. Two clicks confirm the pickup date.
  3. Simply leave the prepaid envelope in the mailbox or on the porch. The driver collects it the same day. If you confirm after 4 p.m., it is the next day.

Frequently asked questions

Which test if time is short?

The 4-day detector gives a fast first measurement. It also fits a tight timeline. The 91-day test remains Health Canada’s reference for annual exposure, especially in the heating season.

Why 91 days and not only 4 days?

Health Canada recommends at least 3 months. Radon changes with weather, ventilation and heating. Four days screens; 91 days estimates annual exposure.

Do I need to test in winter?

The heating season (house closed) is better for the long-term test. A 4-day test can be done any time if you need a fast screen.

Are you C-NRPP certified?

Yes. Measurement and mitigation are done by C-NRPP / PNCR-C certified professionals.

Where is my report?

The email named above, and the portal, Report tab.

How much is a radon test in Canada?

The price is the one shown above.

Is the radon test free?

Some organizations, including the Lung Association, sometimes run programs. Our detectors are paid: lab report and support if mitigation is needed.

What if the result is above 200 Bq/m³?

Mitigation is recommended. We install a system suited to the foundation. Ask for a quote.

Need a test?

Order a detector. If the level is high, the mitigation page explains the installation.
