What Is Radon?
Amherstburg Homes May Have Elevated Radon Levels Without You Knowing
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced as uranium in the soil and underlying rock slowly breaks down. Because it is invisible, odourless, and tasteless, it can enter your home unnoticed through cracks in the foundation, sump pits, utility penetrations, floor drains, and construction joints. Once inside, radon can accumulate over time, increasing the concentration of the gas in your indoor air.
In Amherstburg, every home has the potential to experience different radon levels. Soil conditions, foundation design, ventilation, and construction methods all influence how much radon enters a property. Even neighbouring homes can produce completely different test results.
Professional testing is the only dependable way to determine your home’s radon level. Windsor Radon provides certified testing performed by C-NRPP professionals using approved equipment and accredited laboratory analysis, giving Amherstburg homeowners reliable information they can trust.
16%
Of Canadian homes exceed the Health Canada guideline.
Approximately 1 in every 6 Canadian homes has radon levels above Health Canada’s recommended guideline. Since radon cannot be detected without testing, many homeowners remain unaware of their exposure. Certified testing is the only way to know if your home requires action.
Why Radon Testing in Amherstburg Is Non-Negotiable
Health Canada recommends taking corrective action whenever indoor radon levels exceed 200 Bq/m³. Since radon cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted, professional testing is essential for understanding your home’s indoor air quality.
Lung Cancer Risk
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in Canada and the leading environmental cause among non-smokers. Long-term exposure to elevated radon concentrations increases this risk, making regular testing an important step in protecting your family’s health.
Radon Can Affect Any Home
Whether your Amherstburg home is newly constructed or decades old, has a basement, crawl space, or slab-on-grade foundation, radon can still enter through the building’s foundation. Every home should be tested regardless of age or design.
Health Canada's 200 Bq/m³ Guideline
The recommended action level established by Health Canada is 200 Bq/m³. Our certified reports clearly indicate your home’s radon concentration and help determine whether mitigation is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Radon gas?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas created when uranium breaks down in soil and rock. It enters homes through openings in the foundation, including cracks, utility penetrations, and sump pits. Because Radon has no colour, smell, or taste, it can only be detected through professional testing. According to Health Canada, long-term exposure to elevated Radon levels contributes to approximately 3,200 lung cancer deaths in Canada each year.
Is Radon a concern in Windsor, Ontario?
Yes. Radon has been found in homes across Ontario, including Windsor and Essex County. Because radon levels vary from property to property, no home’s risk can be determined based on location, age, or appearance alone. Professional testing is the only way to know your home’s radon level.
How long does a Radon test take?
Short-term testing requires a minimum of 48 hours and provides reliable results quickly. For the most accurate assessment of your home’s average radon exposure, Health Canada recommends long-term testing lasting at least 91 days.
What happens if my Radon level is above 200 Bq/m³?
If your home’s radon level exceeds Health Canada’s recommended action level, Windsor Radon will design and install an effective mitigation system to reduce radon concentrations. Once installation is complete, we perform follow-up testing to verify the system’s performance.
Do I need to leave my home during testing or mitigation?
No. Radon testing is completely non-invasive, and you can continue your normal daily routine while the test is underway. During mitigation installation, homeowners can usually remain in the house, as most systems are installed with minimal disruption.
