Long-term radon test by mail
$300 plus HST
We mail you a detector, and you place it for at least 91 days, as Health Canada (opens in a new tab) recommends. When you mail it back, we send it to the lab. How our test by mail works.
What radon testing and mitigation cost
Our long-term radon test, by mail, costs $300 plus HST, with shipping both ways included. A typical system from us starts at $3,000 plus HST.
In a 2019 to 2020 national contest run by Take Action on Radon (opens in a new tab), 256 homeowners who'd had a C-NRPP professional put in a radon system reported paying $2,718 on average. That's one contest's average, not a price survey.

What a radon test costs
The test price covers the detector, shipping both ways, the lab fees and a written result. We use an alpha track detector, and an independent lab reads it.
Follow-up test after a system goes in
Included
A 91-day lab test comes with every system we put in. When the follow-up test happens.
We don't do short-term tests for a sale. We recommend a long-term test of at least 91 days, as Health Canada (opens in a new tab) does. How testing fits a home sale.
Essex County Library (opens in a new tab) lends a digital radon monitor for up to 3 weeks, usually in the colder months. It's a short look, not a long-term test. We haven't confirmed whether City of Windsor residents can borrow one. See how the test options compare.
What a radon mitigation system costs
A typical system from us starts at $3,000 plus HST.
How ours compares
The $2,718 average comes from one national contest, so you can see where ours sits. Health Canada says a system lowers radon "at a cost similar to other common home improvements."
What's in our price
The price covers the whole job:
- Pressure tests under your floor with a digital micromanometer, to pick the right fan size
- A RadonAway or Fantech fan
- The pipe and the labour
- A manometer on the pipe
- The permit
- Sealing the openings named in your quote, like sump pits, backwater valves, floor drains and major cracks
- Labels, operating checks and cleanup
- A 91-day lab test after the install
The fan has a 5-year manufacturer's warranty. If we supply and install a sump pump, it has a 1-year warranty.
$2,718
Average cost reported by 256 homeowners across Canada who had a C-NRPP professional put in a system, from Take Action on Radon's 2019 to 2020 contest. Not a price survey.
For help with the cost, the Index's radon funding finder (opens in a new tab) lists grants, rebates and free kits by province.
What checks, repairs and new fans cost
We work on systems other installers put in, too.

What moves the price up or down
These move a system's price up or down:
- Access to the work area.
- How far the pipe has to run to where it vents outside.
- Crawl spaces. We also encapsulate crawl spaces.
- The age of your sump pump.
We'll tell you where your home sits after a free visit.
What a new-home rough-in costs to finish
A capped radon pipe in your basement floor is a rough-in. Turning it into a working system starts at $2,600 plus HST when there's no sump pump. A typical full system starts at $3,000. It takes about half a day.
How to get your exact price
Send us your address, and your result if you have one. We'll tell you the next step. We'll quote from a kit or library (opens in a new tab) result, with no retest needed for the quote. If it was a short test, Health Canada still says to base the decision on a long-term one.
Every quote comes after a visit. The in-home assessment and the written quote are free. We send the quote by email, and it's good for 30 days.
All our prices are plus HST. We don't charge for travel.
If you rent out a house or a basement unit, read our guide to radon in rentals.
If you're still deciding whether you need a system, start with what your result means.
