Radon Testing Services

Radon is an invisible, odourless gas that can build up inside homes without any warning signs. It enters buildings from the soil and can reach elevated levels in basements and lower living areas where people spend significant time.

Across Nova Scotia, radon levels vary widely from one home to another—even between neighbouring properties. Because of this, the only reliable way to determine your exposure is through proper testing.

Why Radon Testing Matters

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in Canada. Long-term exposure to elevated levels can present a serious health risk to you and your family. Since it cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted, radon often goes undetected unless a test is completed.

Health authorities recommend:

• Testing every home for radon every 2 years

• Taking corrective action if levels exceed 200 Bq/m³, the Health Canada guideline

Radon Risk in Nova Scotia

Radon potential varies significantly across the province depending on local geology and soil composition. However, elevated radon levels can be found in all regions, regardless of mapped risk zones.
