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.

Radon Mitigation

If your results come back elevated, we design and install a mitigation system proven to bring levels down — then verify the result with follow-up testing.

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.

1 Site Assessment

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

2 System Installation

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.

3 Post-Install Testing

After installation, we conduct follow-up radon testing to confirm your home’s levels have dropped to a safe, acceptable range. We verify every result.

4 Lasting Protection

Your system operates continuously and quietly, maintaining healthy indoor air quality in your Lakeshore home year-round with no ongoing maintenance needed from you.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I test for Radon?

Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and is responsible for thousands of deaths each year in Canada. It’s an invisible, odorless gas that can only be detected through testing. Essex County has higher than average Radon levels, making testing especially important for homeowners in our area. Testing is the only way to know if your family is at risk.

What are safe Radon levels?

Health Canada’s guideline is 200 Bq/m³. If your home tests above 200 Bq/m³, Health Canada recommends taking action to reduce levels. However, there is no “safe” level of Radon—any exposure carries some risk. The lower the level, the better. Our goal with mitigation is to reduce levels as far below 200 Bq/m³ as possible.

What does C-NRPP certified mean?

C-NRPP stands for Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program. It means we’ve completed rigorous training, passed certification exams, and follow strict standards set by Health Canada. Choosing a C-NRPP certified professional ensures your Radon system is installed correctly and will actually reduce Radon levels. Our certification is your assurance of quality work.

Does Radon affect pets and children?

Yes. Pets and young children are especially vulnerable to Radon exposure because they spend more time closer to the ground where Radon concentrations are often highest. Children’s growing bodies and faster breathing rates also make them more susceptible to Radon’s harmful effects. If you have pets or young children in your home, Radon testing becomes even more important for their health and safety.

Should I test when buying or selling a home?

Yes, we recommend Radon testing for both buyers and sellers. While not always required in Ontario, many home buyers request Radon testing as part of their due diligence. If you’re selling, having a recent Radon test shows transparency and can prevent delays during negotiations. If you’re buying, testing helps you understand what you’re getting into. Having mitigation done by a C-NRPP certified professional like us ensures the work is done properly and can be verified.

Does the age of my house matter?

No. Radon can affect any home—whether it was built yesterday or 100 years ago. New homes can have Radon just as easily as older homes. Construction methods, soil composition, and foundation type matter more than age. The only way to know if your home has elevated Radon levels is to test. Don’t assume your new home is safe, and don’t assume your old home has a problem. Test to know for sure.

How long does testing take?

Long-term Radon testing takes a minimum of 90 days to get accurate results. This follows Health Canada’s guidelines for proper testing. We place the test device in your home, and it measures Radon levels continuously over the 90-day period. After that, we analyze the results and provide you with a clear report. New homes can have Radon just as easily as older homes. Construction methods, soil composition, and foundation type matter more than age. The only way to know if your home has elevated Radon levels is to test. Don’t assume your new home is safe, and don’t assume your old home has a problem. Test to know for sure.

Is mitigation disruptive to my home?

Radon mitigation is minimally disruptive. The system typically involves installing a vent pipe and fan. Most of the work is done in the basement or crawl space. You can stay in your home during installation, and the work is usually completed within a day or two. The system operates quietly and requires minimal maintenance.

What happens if Radon levels are high?

If your test shows elevated Radon levels, we’ll discuss mitigation options with you. We design and install professional Radon mitigation systems that reduce Radon levels in your home. Most systems use sub-slab or sub membrane to vent Radon safely outside. After installation, we verify that levels have been reduced to safe levels.
