RADON MITIGATION
Radon is an invisible, odourless radioactive gas released from the earth and into the air. In the open air or low concentrations, this gas is harmless. But when released into your home, it can reach dangerous concentrations that are harmful to you and your family.
Despite being entirely preventable, exposure to radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in Canada. According to Health Canada, all homes should be tested regularly for radon. Corrective action should be taken for homes that test over 200 Bq/m³.
Luckily, you can correct a radon problem. One visit from the friendly radon pros at Rümi will return your home to safer levels. Get peace of mind, easy breathing and safety all backed by our money-back guarantee with a pro mitigation system.

Radon is an invisible, odourless radioactive gas that exists everywhere. It escapes from the ground and disperses into the air at safe levels. However, radon that gets trapped indoors poses a risk to people who breathe that contaminated air.
Radioactive gas existing beneath and inside of your home may sound a bit farfetched. This isn't science fiction after all, this is Alberta. Radon is just one of many natural gases that exist in our environment, and a very common occurrence.
Radon is a colorless, odourless gas that can seep into homes from the ground. It's a natural occurrence, but elevated levels can pose health risks. Mitigation helps lower these levels, promoting a safer living environment.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, following smoking. It is undetectable by sight or smell and causes between 10,000–40,000 cases of lung cancer per decade in Canada alone. It is a serious health risk and it is entirely preventable.
You can reduce your chances of developing lung cancer by testing your home for radon gas. If your radon levels are too high, a radon mitigation expert can help.
We'll develop a system to address the elevated radon levels within the home. This may include:
They may also install better ventilation systems that prevent radon gas from becoming dangerous.
Current Health Canada guidelines suggest mitigation action for homes determined as over 200 Bq/m³ within 2 years. For homes determined as in excess of 600 Bq/m³ that timeline increases to 1 year.
The goal of radon mitigation is to reduce the indoor levels to outdoor levels (10-40 Bq/m³). Rümi's radon mitigation systems are covered by a 100% money-back performance guarantee.
Radon is invisible, so testing is the only way to know for sure. But don't worry — radon testing is simple! Just like testing for carbon monoxide, you should have your own radon testing kit to monitor your home’s air safety.
Not necessarily. Studies do show certain regions and neighbourhoods have higher prevalence of radon than others. However, radon levels can vary widely over short distances and with small variations in building structure. The only way to know if your home is safe is to have it tested.
Mitigation involves installing a system that redirects radon gas from beneath your home and releases it harmlessly outside.
The mitigation system is discreet and won't alter your home's appearance. It involves minimal drilling and won't compromise the structural integrity of your property.
Most mitigation installations are done in 1 day. If your home needs more time, we'll let you know before beginning the work. We know how important your time and space are!
