Testing Your Home For Radon
The first step in mitigating radon is to test your home for its presence. Radon testing kits are readily available from Canada Radon, and they are relatively simple to use. Short-term tests take just a few days, while long-term tests provide a more accurate picture over several months. Place the testing kit in the lowest livable level of your home, such as the basement or ground floor, for the most accurate results. If the test indicates elevated radon levels, it's time to consider mitigation.
