What Is Radon?
Essex Homes May Have Radon — And You'd Never Suspect It
Radon is a colourless, odourless, radioactive gas. It’s produced naturally underground as uranium in soil and bedrock breaks down — a process that never stops. The gas travels upward and seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, gaps around service pipes, and any other small opening at or below ground level.
Once inside your home, radon has no way to escape. It accumulates, and over months and years of exposure, the health risk compounds significantly. In Essex, Ontario, local geology and soil composition mean radon is a genuine concern for many homeowners.
Windsor Radon gives Essex families clarity. Our certified testing removes the guesswork and gives you accurate, actionable results — so you can protect your home with confidence.

Why Every Essex Home Deserves a Radon Test
Health Canada is clear: if your home’s radon level exceeds 200 Bq/m³, corrective action should be taken. But radon is completely invisible without proper testing — and many homeowners go years without knowing their risk.
No Warning Signs
Radon causes no immediate symptoms. By the time health effects appear, years of exposure may have already occurred. Testing is the only early warning system you have.
Lung Cancer Risk
After smoking, radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in Canada. It’s the #1 environmental cause for non-smokers, and the risk is directly linked to the concentration in your home.
Every Home Is Different
Your neighbours’ results don’t predict yours. Radon varies dramatically between properties. Only a certified test of your specific home gives you a reliable, accurate answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is radon gas?
Radon is a colourless, odourless, radioactive gas produced naturally when uranium in soil and rock breaks down. It enters homes through foundation cracks and gaps, accumulates indoors, and poses a serious health risk when levels are elevated over time. It’s one of the leading causes of lung cancer in Canada, responsible for approximately 3,200 deaths annually according to Health Canada.
Is radon a concern in Essex, Ontario?
Yes. Radon is present throughout Ontario, and Essex is no exception. Local soil and bedrock composition can contribute to elevated concentrations in residential properties. Because radon levels can vary significantly between nearby homes, testing your specific property is the only reliable way to assess your risk.
How is radon measured, and what's the safe level?
Radon is measured in Becquerels per cubic metre (Bq/m³). Health Canada recommends taking corrective action if your home’s radon concentration exceeds 200 Bq/m³. Windsor Radon provides lab-verified, certified results measured against this guideline so you know exactly where your home stands.
How long does a radon test take?
Short-term tests take a minimum of 48 hours. They’re fast and suitable for real estate transactions or quick assessments. Long-term tests run for 91 days or more and provide the most accurate, seasonally averaged reading of your home’s radon levels. Windsor Radon will help you choose the right test type based on your timeline and needs.
What happens if my levels are above 200 Bq/m³?
It means action is recommended, and Windsor Radon will walk you through exactly what to do next. We’ll install a sub-slab depressurization system — a proven, minimally invasive solution that draws radon from beneath your foundation and vents it safely outdoors. After installation, follow-up testing confirms the result. The entire process is handled by our certified team from start to finish.
