Radon Levels In Alberta

What should my levels be at?

Answer

There is no “safe level” of this radioactive gas in homes and homeowners should always strive to reduce its concentration to a minimum.

Your homes radon level should be no more than 200 Bq/m3.

Answer

Radon testing is important because finding out that you have high Radon levels and fixing that problem can be a life-saving measure.

There are many different "Radon Testing" devices and these devices can take anywhere from one week to 90 days long to measure your radon levels. We have the most advanced devices in-house, however these can be bought online as well. 

How do I know what my radon levels are at?

Is this for me?

Answer

If your basement is unfinished and has exposed concrete and insulation, then you have a high chance that radon levels are increasing in your home.

 

New builds due to the fact they are built to contain heat, do not do a great job of expelling radon from your home. This is where Radon First's seal comes in to play! The best news is, Radon First also provides a water proofing membrane.

Answer

We use high quality, innovative products to meet today’s complex building demands. If your basement is unfinished, or if you are planning a major renovation, consider using Radon First's radon sealant. This is a certified environmentally friendly product that will keep you and your family safe from the dangers of radon.

 

If your basement is already finished, don't worry, we have a solution for that too using our radon mitigation fans.
