What Is Radon Mitigation? Understanding Radon Removal & Remediation

Radon mitigation—also called radon removal, radon remediation, or radon abatement—refers to the process of reducing radon gas concentrations in buildings to safe levels. In Calgary and across Alberta, elevated radon is common due to our uranium-rich soil and tight home construction designed for cold winters.

Radon mitigation systems use active ventilation, typically sub-slab depressurization, to draw radon gas from beneath your foundation and vent it safely outside. Professional radon remediation ensures your indoor air quality meets Health Canada’s action level of 200 Bq/m³ or lower.

Whether you need radon removal for a new home purchase, radon abatement after a failed test, or a complete radon remediation system installation, our C-NRPP certified team delivers solutions built for Calgary’s climate and construction standards.

HEALTH & SAFETY

Why Calgary Homes Need Professional Radon Mitigation & Removal

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps into Calgary homes through foundation cracks, sump pits, and construction joints. Health Canada identifies radon as the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, responsible for over 3,200 deaths annually in Canada. In Alberta, nearly 1 in 5 homes exceed the 200 Bq/m³ guideline—making professional radon mitigation and removal essential for protecting your family. Our certified radon remediation services eliminate this invisible threat at the source.

OUR PROCESS

How Our Radon Mitigation Process Works

Simple, stress-free mitigation from start to finish. We protect your property with minimal disruption.

1

Diagnosing the Property

2

Customizing a Mitigation Strategy

Based on our findings, we develop a tailored plan that addresses your specific structure, ventilation systems, and any special requirements. Our goal is to design a solution that efficiently reduces radon levels.

3

Installation & Verification

We install high-quality mitigation components using industry best practices. Once everything is in place, we conduct immediate tests to confirm that radon levels have been significantly lowered.

4

Ongoing Support & Monitoring

OUR SOLUTIONS

Radon Mitigation Systems & Removal Methods We Install

Professional systems for a safer home—customized to your property’s unique requirements.

Most Popular

Sub-Slab Depressurization: The Most Effective Radon Removal System

Sub-slab depressurization (SSD) is the gold standard for radon mitigation in Calgary homes. This active radon removal system creates negative pressure beneath your foundation, drawing radon gas away before it can enter your living space.

Sealing Cracks & Foundation

A critical component of radon mitigation is making your property as airtight as possible. Cracks, gaps, and seams allow radon to seep in—undermining the efficiency of any mitigation system.

Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV)

Heat Recovery Ventilators help address multiple indoor air quality concerns by continuously exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while retaining heat.

HEPA Filter Systems

Radon gas itself is invisible and odorless, but its decay products can attach to airborne particles and pose significant health risks. Our HEPA filter systems capture these harmful particles.

Post Mitigation Testing: Verifying Long-Term Safety & Effectiveness

Even the best radon mitigation strategies need confirmation. After installation, we perform follow-up testing to ensure radon levels have been substantially reduced and remain within safe limits.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions About Radon Mitigation

What is radon mitigation, and why is it necessary?

Radon mitigation involves installing systems to reduce radon gas levels in your home. It is essential because prolonged exposure to high radon levels can lead to serious health issues, including lung cancer. Health Canada recommends action for any reading above 200 Bq/m³.

What is the average radon mitigation cost in Calgary?

Most Calgary homeowners pay between $2,000 and $3,500 for a complete radon mitigation system, including installation and post-mitigation testing. Complex homes with multiple foundation types or crawlspaces may cost more.

How does radon removal work?

Radon removal systems, typically sub-slab depressurization, use a fan and PVC piping to create negative pressure beneath your foundation. This draws radon gas from the soil and vents it safely above your roofline before it can enter your home.

Is radon remediation covered by home insurance?

Most home insurance policies do not cover radon remediation as it’s considered a pre-existing environmental condition. However, the investment protects your family’s health and can increase your home’s resale value.

What's the difference between radon mitigation and radon abatement?

Radon mitigation and radon abatement mean the same thing—reducing radon gas levels in your home. “Abatement” is often used in real estate contexts, while “mitigation” is the technical industry term.

How long does a radon mitigation system last?

A properly installed radon mitigation system can last 20+ years. The fan may need replacement every 10-15 years, but the piping and structural components are designed for long-term durability.

How long does it take to install a mitigation system?

The installation typically takes a few hours to complete. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring a thorough and secure installation.

Do I need radon mitigation if my levels are just over 200 Bq/m³?

Yes. Health Canada recommends action for any reading above 200 Bq/m³. Even levels between 200-400 Bq/m³ increase lung cancer risk with long-term exposure. Radon mitigation is a permanent solution that protects your family for years to come.

How Radon Mitigation Affects Home Value | Calgary Guide

Radon mitigation increases home value in Calgary by removing a significant health concern that affects 1 in 4 Alberta homes. Properties with documented radon testing and installed mitigation systems sell faster and often command higher prices than untested homes. Buyers increasingly request radon disclosure during real estate transactions, making proactive mitigation a smart investment that typically costs $2,000-$3,500 while adding comparable or greater value to your property.

January 13, 2026

Radon Test Duration: What Calgary Homeowners Should Expect

Radon test duration depends on the testing method: short-term tests take 2-7 days using continuous radon monitors (CRMs), while long-term tests run 3-12 months using alpha track detectors. Health Canada recommends minimum 91-day testing during heating season for accurate annual average readings. Short-term tests provide quick snapshots useful for real estate transactions, but long-term testing delivers the most reliable data for mitigation decisions in Calgary homes.
