Protect your home and indoor air quality with professional radon testing and mitigation services in Tiny Township, Ontario.

Radon Central helps homeowners throughout Tiny Township and Simcoe County determine whether radon is present in their homes and install effective radon reduction systems when elevated levels are found.

Every home should be tested for radon.

Radon is an invisible, odourless and tasteless radioactive gas that forms naturally when uranium in soil and rock breaks down. It can enter a home through cracks, sump pits, floor drains, gaps around pipes and other openings where the building contacts the ground.

A home’s age, appearance or location cannot tell you what its radon level will be. Levels can also vary significantly between neighbouring properties. Testing is the only reliable way to determine the radon concentration inside your home.

Homes with basements, crawl spaces and lower-level living areas should be tested, but radon can be present in any type of home.

Radon Central provides guidance and professional radon testing options for homeowners in Tiny Township.

For the most reliable estimate of a home’s average radon level, a long-term test should be completed for at least 91 days. Testing is commonly performed during the heating season, when doors and windows are generally kept closed more often.

Testing may be especially important when:

• You have never tested your home.
• You recently purchased a property.
• Your basement is used as a bedroom, office or family room.
• You are planning basement renovations.
• A digital monitor has shown elevated readings.
• A previous test result was close to or above 200 Bq/m³.
• You are preparing to sell your home.

After the testing period, the results can be reviewed to determine whether radon mitigation is recommended.

Health Canada’s guideline for radon in indoor air is 200 becquerels per cubic metre, or 200 Bq/m³.

Corrective action is recommended when the average annual radon concentration in a normally occupied area exceeds 200 Bq/m³. Higher levels should be addressed sooner, and radon should be reduced as much as reasonably practical.

Even homes below the Canadian guideline may benefit from further reduction because no radon exposure is considered completely risk-free.

If your test result is elevated, Radon Central can inspect your home and recommend an appropriate radon mitigation solution.

Radon mitigation is the process of reducing the amount of radon entering and accumulating inside a building.

One of the most common and effective approaches is active soil depressurization. This type of system draws radon-containing soil gas from beneath the home and safely vents it outdoors before it enters the living space.

A professionally designed radon mitigation system may include:

• A suction point installed through the concrete floor
• Radon-resistant piping
• A continuously operating radon fan
• Sealing around significant foundation openings
• A system pressure indicator
• Exterior or interior vent routing
• Post-mitigation testing

Every property is different. The recommended system will depend on the home’s foundation, layout, air movement, sump arrangement and measured radon level.

Radon Central designs systems around the individual property rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all installation.

Tiny Township contains a wide variety of properties, including year-round homes, seasonal cottages, older foundations, renovated basements and rural properties.

Radon Central can evaluate different foundation configurations, including:

• Poured concrete foundations
• Concrete-block foundations
• Basement slabs
• Crawl spaces
• Sump pits
• Additions with separate foundations
• Mixed foundation types

Seasonal properties should also be considered for testing, particularly when they are occupied for extended periods or have been converted into year-round residences.

Radon can be present in homes anywhere in Canada, and levels can vary considerably from one property to another. A regional map or a neighbour’s result cannot determine the radon level in your home. The only way to know is to test.

A long-term test of at least 91 days provides the best estimate of your average radon exposure. Testing during the heating season is often recommended because the home is generally kept more closed during this period.

The detector should normally be placed in the lowest level of the home where someone spends at least four hours per day. It should be positioned away from windows, exterior doors, vents, excessive humidity and direct sunlight.

Contact a certified radon professional to discuss mitigation. The home should be inspected so that an appropriate radon reduction system can be designed.

Yes. Properly designed and installed mitigation systems can substantially reduce indoor radon concentrations. Post-mitigation testing should be completed to confirm the system’s performance.

The radon fan is selected and positioned to minimize noise inside the home. The final sound level can depend on the fan model, pipe route and installation location.

Yes. Radon can occur in both new and older homes. Construction age alone does not predict the radon level.
