RADON MITIGATION

How's your home's radon level? If you don't know, it's time for a checkup.

Radon is an invisible, odourless radioactive gas that is 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. Health Canada recommends all homes be tested and recommends corrective actions for homes determined as over 200 Bq/m³.  

Luckily, a radon problem can be corrected. All it takes is a visit from the friendly radon pros at Rümi! Mitigation systems installed by certified and experienced technicians offer peace of mind, easy breathing and safety all backed by our money-back guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is radon?

Radon is an invisible, odorless 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 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. They'll develop a system to address the elevated radon levels within the home which may include a depressurization system, modifications to the home's ventilation systems and sealing areas determined to have a problem. 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). While all homes are different, your home will be covered by a 100% money-back performance guarantee.

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. Rümi offers Radon Tester kits, which are available in the Rümi Store.

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.

Most mitigation installations can be completed in a 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!

Yes, when it comes to radon, all homes can be mitigated. Our certified and experienced technicians are happy to discuss your home's needs with you.
