You can’t see it. You can’t smell it. But radon gas could be present in your home—and it’s dangerous. Alberta has some of the highest radon levels in Canada, making testing essential for every homeowner.
What is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It can seep into homes through cracks in the foundation, pipes, or flooring.
Why is Radon Dangerous?
Long-term exposure to high radon levels increases the risk of lung cancer. Health Canada has identified it as the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.
Is Your Home at Risk?
Yes—especially in Alberta. Homes in our region have tested above the national guideline more often than in other provinces. Even new, well-sealed homes can trap radon inside.
