Radon is an invisible, odorless radioactive gas that can enter any home through cracks, joints, drains, crawl spaces, and gaps around utilities. Because you cannot detect it by sight or smell, testing is the only reliable way to know your home's radon level.
Ecosense’s Canadian Radon Map helps users explore local radon levels by postal code using Health Canada data. While it provides useful insight into regional radon risk, only a home radon test can determine the actual radon level inside your home.
Learn how to reduce radon levels at home with effective mitigation methods, sealing techniques, and ongoing monitoring. Discover practical steps to create a safer, healthier indoor environment for your family.
Discover why neighboring homes can have different radon levels, how state averages and radon maps help, and why every home should be tested individually.
Learn why radon levels fluctuate in Canadian homes, when levels are highest, and how continuous monitoring helps you better understand indoor radon exposure.
Learn how to check radon levels by ZIP code using interactive maps. Discover why your neighbor's risk differs and why continuous home testing is crucial.
Learn why radon testing should be part of every homebuyer’s checklist. This guide explains how radon enters homes, why both new and older homes should be tested, what test results mean, and how continuous monitoring helps protect long-term indoor air quality.
Radon in Canada is a widespread, invisible health risk, with millions exposed to elevated levels. As a leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers, it can enter any home. Regular testing and continuous monitoring help homeowners detect, manage, and reduce long-term exposure.
Radon levels are typically highest at night and early morning (midnight–6 AM) when homes are sealed, and ventilation is low, and you're asleep. Continuous monitoring is essential to capture fluctuations and accurately assess long-term radon exposure risk.
A scientifically reliable radon detector depends on key factors like sensitivity, independent validation, proper calibration, and adherence to recognized standards.
