Reliable Radon Gas Removal
All Canadian homes contain radon gas — an invisible, odourless, radioactive gas that is naturally released from bedrock, soil and water.
Radon gas is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers, and it's responsible for more deaths than car accidents, carbon monoxide and house fires combined (Health Canada).
According to Health Canada, your home requires radon mitigation if radon levels are higher than 200 Becquerels per metre cubed (Bq/m³).
For reliable testing and radon removal, trust the experts at Radon Gas Guys for the most reliable radon gas removal service in Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, Hamilton, Burlington and beyond.

The Radon Removal Process
Performed by a C-NRPP Certified Technician.
Step 1
We'll seal any openings or areas in your home where radon gas may be entering. This may include sealing or fixing areas around sump pumps, plumbing openings or even cracks in the concrete floors.
Step 2
We will install a radon mitigation system in your basement or the area of your home where radon levels are most concentrated. This process is non-invasive and will be done within the day.
Step 3
Secondary testing is performed to ensure that radon levels have dropped to the World Health Organization standard of 100 Bq/M3 or below. If the system does not work, we will correct it at no cost or refund you your money!
Radon Gas Map
Radon Levels in Southern Ontario
According to the World Health Organization, 25% of Ontario homes have radon concentrations that require remedial action.
Radon concentration varies geographically and is higher in areas with significant amounts of uranium present in the soil.
Southern Ontario is a hot spot for elevated levels of radon gas. A quick look at the radon gas map shows us that many areas in Southern Ontario are deemed as "Zone 1" — in other words, a high hazard. Cities along the Niagara Escarpment including Kitchener, Waterloo, Hamilton, Ancaster, Burlington and Guelph are particularly at risk.
To put the dangers of radon into perspective, exposure to 400 Bq/M3 (Becquerels) of radon for 8 hours is considered by radiation scientists to be equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes every day. According to the Government of Canada, more lives are lost in from Radon exposure (3200) than from Car Accidents (1898), Carbon Monoxide (300) and House Fires (109) combined.
After our system is installed most homes have dropped to between 5 and 20 Becquerels!
