Understanding Radon

There's a Silent Risk in Many Tecumseh Homes

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. It forms when uranium in the ground breaks down — a process that happens all the time, everywhere. The gas seeps upward through soil and enters homes through cracks in foundations, gaps around pipes, and any opening at ground level.

Once inside, radon has nowhere to go. It accumulates indoors and builds up to levels that can seriously harm your health over time. In Tecumseh, the local geology creates real potential for elevated radon in residential homes.

The troubling part? You can’t see it, smell it, or taste it. The only way to know if your home is safe is to test it — and that’s where Windsor Radon comes in.

Leading cause of lung cancer in Canada

Health Canada estimates radon causes approximately 3,200 lung cancer deaths in Canada each year.

Why Every Tecumseh Homeowner Should Test for Radon

Health Canada sets the guideline at 200 Bq/m³. If your home exceeds this level, action should be taken. But you can only protect your family from something you know about.

Serious Lung Cancer Risk

Long-term radon exposure is a proven cause of lung cancer — the number one environmental cause in non-smokers. Testing early gives you the power to act before damage accumulates.

Any Home Can Be Affected

New builds, older homes, finished basements — all can have elevated radon. The soil under your specific home matters more than the age or style of construction.

Health Canada's 200 Bq/m³ Guideline

This is the point where Health Canada recommends corrective action. Windsor Radon provides certified results against this standard so you know exactly where you stand.

Complete Mitigation

If levels are elevated, we design and install a proven mitigation system — then test again to confirm your home is safe. End-to-end service from one trusted team.

High Radon Levels? Here's How We Fix It.

1 Home Assessment

We evaluate your foundation type, test results, and building layout to recommend the most effective mitigation approach for your Tecumseh property.

2 System Installation

Sub-slab depressurization is our most common solution. A small pipe and fan system draws radon from beneath your foundation and safely vents it outside.

3 Verification Testing

After installation, we test again to confirm radon levels have dropped to a safe range. We don’t call the job done until z numbers prove it.

4 Ongoing Protection

Your system runs quietly and continuously, protecting your home’s indoor air quality every day — without any maintenance headaches on your end.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Radon gas?

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced when uranium in soil and rock breaks down. It’s completely invisible and has no odour or taste. Without a test, there’s no way to know if it’s present in your home. Long-term exposure is a leading cause of lung cancer — responsible for approximately 3,200 deaths in Canada each year.

Is Radon common in Tecumseh and Essex County?

Yes. Radon is found across Ontario, including the Essex County region. Local soil composition and geology can contribute to elevated levels in residential homes. Importantly, Radon levels vary significantly between neighbouring properties — testing your specific home is the only reliable way to know your situation.

How long does Radon testing take?

Short-term tests take a minimum of 48 hours and are ideal when you need quick results — such as for a real estate transaction. Long-term tests run for 91 days or more and provide a more accurate seasonal picture of radon levels in your home. Windsor Radon will help you choose the right option.

What happens if my Radon levels are too high?

If your home’s radon level exceeds Health Canada’s guideline of 200 Bq/m³, mitigation is recommended. Windsor Radon Reinstall sub-slab depressurization, sub membrane, depressurization systems and combination systems — the most proven and effective solution. We then conduct follow-up testing to confirm the system has reduced radon to a safe level.

Are Windsor Radon technicians certified?

Yes. Every member of our team holds active C-NRPP (Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program) certification. This is the national standard for qualified radon testing and mitigation professionals in Canada. You’re always working with a verified expert.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I test for Radon?

Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and is responsible for thousands of deaths each year in Canada. It’s an invisible, odorless gas that can only be detected through testing. Essex County has higher than average Radon levels, making testing especially important for homeowners in our area. Testing is the only way to know if your family is at risk.

What are safe Radon levels?

Health Canada’s guideline is 200 Bq/m³. If your home tests above 200 Bq/m³, Health Canada recommends taking action to reduce levels. However, there is no “safe” level of Radon—any exposure carries some risk. The lower the level, the better. Our goal with mitigation is to reduce levels as far below 200 Bq/m³ as possible.

What does C-NRPP certified mean?

C-NRPP stands for Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program. It means we’ve completed rigorous training, passed certification exams, and follow strict standards set by Health Canada. Choosing a C-NRPP certified professional ensures your Radon system is installed correctly and will actually reduce Radon levels. Our certification is your assurance of quality work.

Does Radon affect pets and children?

Yes. Pets and young children are especially vulnerable to Radon exposure because they spend more time closer to the ground where Radon concentrations are often highest. Children’s growing bodies and faster breathing rates also make them more susceptible to Radon’s harmful effects. If you have pets or young children in your home, Radon testing becomes even more important for their health and safety.

Should I test when buying or selling a home?

Yes, we recommend Radon testing for both buyers and sellers. While not always required in Ontario, many home buyers request Radon testing as part of their due diligence. If you’re selling, having a recent Radon test shows transparency and can prevent delays during negotiations. If you’re buying, testing helps you understand what you’re getting into. Having mitigation done by a C-NRPP certified professional like us ensures the work is done properly and can be verified.

Does the age of my house matter?

No. Radon can affect any home—whether it was built yesterday or 100 years ago. New homes can have Radon just as easily as older homes. Construction methods, soil composition, and foundation type matter more than age. The only way to know if your home has elevated Radon levels is to test. Don’t assume your new home is safe, and don’t assume your old home has a problem. Test to know for sure.

How long does testing take?

Long-term Radon testing takes a minimum of 90 days to get accurate results. This follows Health Canada’s guidelines for proper testing. We place the test device in your home, and it measures Radon levels continuously over the 90-day period. After that, we analyze the results and provide you with a clear report. New homes can have Radon just as easily as older homes. Construction methods, soil composition, and foundation type matter more than age. The only way to know if your home has elevated Radon levels is to test. Don’t assume your new home is safe, and don’t assume your old home has a problem. Test to know for sure.

Is mitigation disruptive to my home?

Radon mitigation is minimally disruptive. The system typically involves installing a vent pipe and fan. Most of the work is done in the basement or crawl space. You can stay in your home during installation, and the work is usually completed within a day or two. The system operates quietly and requires minimal maintenance.

What happens if Radon levels are high?

If your test shows elevated Radon levels, we’ll discuss mitigation options with you. We design and install professional Radon mitigation systems that reduce Radon levels in your home. Most systems use sub-slab or sub membrane to vent Radon safely outside. After installation, we verify that levels have been reduced to safe levels.
