What Is Radon?
Windsor Homes Could Have Radon Without Any Warning
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas released as uranium found in soil and rock gradually breaks down. Because it is invisible, odourless, and tasteless, it can enter your home unnoticed through foundation cracks, construction joints, sump pits, utility openings, and other small gaps in the building structure. Once inside, radon can become trapped and accumulate to unhealthy levels.
In Windsor, Ontario, radon concentrations can vary significantly from one neighbourhood to another. Even homes built on the same street may produce very different test results due to differences in soil conditions, construction methods, foundation design, and ventilation systems. The only reliable way to determine your home’s radon level is through professional testing.
At Windsor Radon, we provide certified testing services that remove uncertainty. Our C-NRPP certified professionals use approved testing equipment and laboratory analysis to deliver accurate, dependable results that help Windsor homeowners make informed decisions about their indoor air quality.
16%
Of Canadian homes exceed the Health Canada guideline.
That’s approximately 1 in every 6 homes across Canada. Many homeowners remain unaware because they have never tested their homes. According to Health Canada’s National Radon Survey, professional testing is the only way to determine whether radon levels exceed the recommended safety guideline.
Why Radon Testing in Windsor Is Non-Negotiable
Health Canada recommends taking action when indoor radon levels exceed 200 Bq/m³. Since radon cannot be seen or smelled, professional testing is the only dependable method of determining whether your home exceeds this level.
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. Prolonged exposure to elevated radon levels can significantly increase your family’s long-term health risks, making routine testing an essential part of responsible homeownership.
Every Home Can Be Affected
Whether you own a newly constructed house, a heritage home, a bungalow, a townhouse, or a property with a finished basement or crawl space, radon can enter through the foundation. Home age and design alone cannot determine whether elevated radon is present.
Understanding the 200 Bq/m³ Guideline
Health Canada’s recommended action level is 200 Bq/m³. Windsor Radon provides certified testing reports that clearly show whether your home’s radon concentration falls below or exceeds this guideline, allowing you to make confident decisions about your family’s safety.

Elevated Levels? We Handle the Whole Process.
Learning that your home has elevated radon levels can be concerning, but reducing those levels doesn’t have to be complicated. Windsor Radon manages every stage of the mitigation process—from the initial assessment to post-installation verification—so you can feel confident your home is protected with minimal disruption to your daily life.
1
Site Assessment
Our certified specialists begin by reviewing your radon test results, evaluating your home’s foundation, and inspecting the overall building layout. This detailed assessment allows us to recommend the most effective mitigation solution for your specific Windsor property.
2
System Installation
For most homes, we install a sub-slab depressurization system—the most effective and widely recommended radon mitigation method. The system uses a discreet network of piping and a high-performance fan to safely draw radon gas from beneath your home’s foundation and vent it outside before it can enter your living space. Most installations are completed in just one day.
3
Post-Installation Testing
Once the mitigation system has been installed, we perform follow-up radon testing to verify that indoor radon levels have been successfully reduced. Every system is tested to ensure it performs as expected and meets Health Canada recommendations.

Long-Term Protection
Your mitigation system operates continuously and quietly, helping maintain healthy indoor air quality throughout the year. With minimal maintenance required, you’ll enjoy lasting protection and peace of mind knowing your Windsor home is safeguarded against elevated radon levels.

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.

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.
