Radon Mitigation Systems
Professional radon reduction systems to protect your family's health
What is Radon Mitigation?
Effective Radon Reduction
Radon mitigation is the process of reducing radon levels in your home to safe levels below Health Canada's guideline of 200 Bq/m³. Our systems typically reduce radon levels by 90% or more.
The most common and effective method is sub-slab depressurization, which prevents radon from entering your home by creating a vacuum beneath the foundation.
Why Mitigation Works
- Prevents radon entry at the source
- Continuously removes radon from beneath your home
- Reduces indoor radon levels by 90%+ in most cases
- Provides long-term protection for your family
- Increases your home's value and marketability
Proven Results
Our mitigation systems have consistently achieved:
- 90%+ reduction in radon levels
- Long-term effectiveness (10+ years)
- Minimal maintenance requirements
- Energy-efficient operation
- Quiet, unobtrusive operation
We guarantee our results.
