Radon Mitigation FAQ

Most homes cost $1,900–$3,000, starting at $1,800 for straightforward installs. Complex crawlspaces can reach $5,500+. Written quote before work begins — prices in CAD.

Most systems are installed in a single day. You'll hear drilling for a few hours, then it's done.

Yes — sub-slab depressurization is the proven method, and we guarantee your post-install test reads below Health Canada's 200 Bq/m³ action level (we typically achieve under 75).

The fan uses roughly $50–$100/year in electricity and lasts 10–15 years. That's the main ongoing cost.

Absolutely — there's no hazardous exposure during a standard install. We're venting soil gas outside, not into your home.

5 years on the system, plus our written guarantee that your levels stay below the action level.

That's the mandatory Alberta rough-in — the starting point, not a working system. Test first; if levels are high, we finish it with a fan, usually at the low end of our price range.

Yes — C-NRPP certified, the Canadian standard. Verify any radon contractor on the C-NRPP directory before hiring.

Health Canada recommends fixing anything over 200 Bq/m³ long-term average. We'd still recommend mitigation — and the system is the same regardless of how far over you are.

Yes — Airdrie, Edmonton, Okotoks, Cochrane, and surrounding Alberta communities.
