What Is Radon?
Lakeshore Homes May Have Radon — And You'd Never Know
Radon is a radioactive gas produced naturally when uranium in soil and rock breaks down. It rises up through the ground and enters your home through foundation cracks, pipe gaps, and construction joints. Once inside, it has nowhere to escape — so it builds up quietly and invisibly.
In Lakeshore, Ontario, radon levels can vary significantly between properties just a few streets apart. The local geology plays a role, but your home’s construction and ventilation matter too. No amount of guessing will tell you your real risk level.
Windsor Radon removes the guesswork. Our certified testing gives Lakeshore homeowners accurate results they can act on — and the confidence that comes with knowing their home is safe.

Why Radon Testing in Lakeshore Is Non-Negotiable
Health Canada recommends taking action when indoor radon levels exceed 200 Bq/m³. The only way to know if you’ve crossed that threshold is to test — and the only way to stay safe is to act on what you find.
Lung Cancer Risk
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in Canada. It’s the #1 environmental cause in non-smokers. Long-term exposure in a home with elevated levels significantly increases that risk.
No Home Is Immune
Whether your home is newly built or decades old, with a finished basement or a crawl space — radon can get in. The only reliable protection is knowing your actual level.
The 200 Bq/m³ Line
This is Health Canada’s action level. Windsor Radon provides certified results measured against this guideline so you always have a clear, reliable answer about your home’s indoor air quality.

Elevated Levels? We Handle the Whole Process.
Discovering elevated radon doesn’t have to be stressful. Windsor Radon makes mitigation straightforward — from assessment through to verification — with minimal disruption to your home and household.

Site Assessment
We evaluate your test results, foundation type, and home layout to identify the most effective mitigation approach for your specific Lakeshore property.

Sub-slab depressurization is our primary solution. A discreet pipe and fan system draws radon from beneath your slab and vents it harmlessly outdoors. Usually completed in one day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Radon gas?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. It forms underground when uranium breaks down and rises into homes through any gap or opening at foundation level. It has no colour, smell, or taste. Long-term exposure is a proven cause of lung cancer, responsible for roughly 3,200 deaths in Canada each year according to Health Canada.
Is Radon a problem in Lakeshore, Ontario?
Yes. Radon is present across Ontario, and Lakeshore is no exception. Local soil and geological conditions can contribute to elevated levels in residential properties. Because levels vary so much between individual homes, the only reliable way to know your specific situation is through certified testing.
How long does a Radon test take?
Short-term tests run for a minimum of 48 hours and suit situations where quick results are needed, such as real estate transactions. Long-term tests run for 91 days or more and give you the most accurate, seasonally adjusted reading of your home’s radon levels. Windsor Radon will recommend the right test for your timeline.
What if my Radon levels exceed 200 Bq/m³?
Health Canada recommends taking corrective action at this level. Windsor Radon will install a sub-slab depressurization system — a proven, minimally invasive solution that draws radon out from beneath your foundation and vents it safely outside. After installation, we test again to confirm the result.
Do I need to leave my home during testing or mitigation?
No. Radon test devices are placed discreetly and cause no disruption. Mitigation system installation is typically completed in a single day and does not require you to vacate your home. The process is designed to be as convenient and low-impact as possible for Lakeshore homeowners.
