What Is Radon?
Harrow Homes Can Have Elevated Radon Levels Without Any Warning
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas released when uranium in soil and rock breaks down over time. It moves upward through the ground and can enter homes through foundation cracks, sump pits, floor drains, utility openings, and construction joints. Because radon has no colour, odour, or taste, it can build up indoors without homeowners ever noticing.
In Harrow, indoor radon levels can vary widely between homes, even those located in the same neighbourhood. Soil composition, foundation design, construction quality, and ventilation all influence how much radon may accumulate inside a property. The only reliable way to understand your home’s risk is through professional testing.
Windsor Radon removes the uncertainty with certified testing performed by C-NRPP professionals using approved equipment and accredited laboratory analysis. Our goal is to provide Harrow homeowners with clear, accurate results they can rely on.
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. Most homeowners don’t know whether their home is affected because they have never had it tested. Professional testing remains the only dependable way to determine your home’s radon level.
Why Radon Testing in Harrow Is Non-Negotiable
Health Canada recommends reducing indoor radon levels when they exceed 200 Bq/m³. Since radon cannot be detected without specialized equipment, testing is the only way to know whether your family is being exposed.
Lung Cancer Risk
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in Canada and the leading environmental cause among people who have never smoked. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels can significantly increase health risks, making testing an important investment in your family’s well-being.
Every Home Is Different
Whether your Harrow home is newly built, decades old, has a finished basement, or sits on a crawl space, radon can still enter through the foundation. A home’s appearance or age cannot predict whether elevated radon is present.
The 200 Bq/m³ Guideline
Health Canada’s recommended action level is 200 Bq/m³. Our certified reports clearly identify your home’s radon concentration and indicate whether mitigation is recommended, giving you the information you need to make informed decisions.

Elevated Levels? We Handle the Whole Process.
If your home’s radon levels are above the recommended guideline, Windsor Radon manages every step of the mitigation process—from the initial assessment to final testing—making the experience straightforward and stress-free.

Our preferred mitigation method is sub-slab depressurization. This proven system safely captures radon beneath your home’s foundation and vents it outdoors before it can enter your living spaces. Most installations are completed within one day.

Post-Installation Testing
Following installation, we conduct certified follow-up testing to confirm your mitigation system has successfully reduced indoor radon levels to a safe range.
