Basements often have the highest levels of radon in the home
You’ve Found Elevated Levels of Radon In Your Home - Now What?
If you are looking for radon gas removal, chances are you’ve already found that your home has high levels of radon in it. Radon gas is actually found everywhere. Some level of radon is found in all homes in Ontario.
This is because radon is created when uranium, a heavy metal found in the earth, decays. As uranium decays, it releases the radioactive gas called radon. Radon gas is typically found in higher concentrations in the basement or other parts of your home that have contact with the ground.
Exposure to high levels of radon gas poses a health risk. Radon gas exposure is the number one cause of lung cancer in non-smoking individuals. When you breathe the radioactive radon gas into your lungs, the gas decays into radioactive particles. As the particles release energy in your body, that energy damages lung tissue. This consistent damage over time can significantly increase your risk of lung cancer.
The risk of radon gas increases when there are high levels in your home. While there is no known safe amount of radon gas exposure, Health Canada considers the radon limit to be 200 Bq/M3 (Becquerels) indoors.
So, if you’ve found radon gas in your home, and especially if you’ve found a measurement of over 200 Bq/M3, it’s time to get a radon remediation system installed in your home to mitigate this risk.
The Radon Remediation System
If you need radon gas removal, you can rely on Radon Gas Guys for expertly installed radon remediation systems in your home. Our team at Radon Gas Guys believe in permanent solutions, not quick fixes.
That’s why the first step in the radon gas removal process is to seal any openings or areas in your home where the gas may be entering (most often the basement, but could be any area of the home where radon gas is highly concentrated.)
This can include sealing or fixing areas around sump pumps, windows, plumbing openings, hydro entry, and even cracks in the floor. After we are sure all possible areas of entry are sealed, we move on to the next step.
We will then install a radon mitigation system in your basement or area of the home where radon gas is highly concentrated. In most homes, radon levels are at problematic levels only in the basement, so that is where most testing and mitigation systems will be installed.
The radon gas mitigation system consists primarily of a pipe and fan. This system is installed in the foundation of your house and essentially works by sucking out radon gas and exhausting it outdoors. The process is fairly non-invasive and is done within the day.

Rick was recommended to us by another happy customer. He came and gave us a quote the same day we contacted him and he returned to install a system the next week. He explained everything to us before, during and after the work and was very helpful. The installation looks great and he cleaned everything up, leaving the site spotless. It takes several months to re-test the actual radon level in a home, but Rick’s pressure tests indicated that the system is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. If you are interested in installing one of these systems in your home, I highly recommend Rick.
