What Radon Is and Why Okanagan Homes Read High

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas formed by the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It cannot be seen, smelled or tasted. It rises from the ground and can enter your home through the lowest level, where the house meets the soil.

  • Natural sourceComes from uranium
    in soil and rock.

  • Higher levels
    in the Okanagan
    Our local geology can
    lead to elevated readings.

  • Real riskRadon can build up
    in any home.

Radon can enter through many small openings in the lowest level.

Questions and answers

Radon Testing FAQs

Clear answers to the questions Kelowna and West Kelowna homeowners ask before they test for radon.

What is radon?

A naturally occurring radioactive gas, formed by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. It cannot be seen, smelled or tasted, so a test is the only way to know your level.

How does the radon test work?

Ben runs a short term test: an annually calibrated, C-NRPP listed continuous radon monitor is placed in your home for 4 days, plus 4 hours of calibration time, and your report gives an hourly breakdown of the radon levels.

How much does a radon test cost?

A standalone short term test is $249.95. Added to a home inspection it is $199.95.

Does a radon test help if I am selling?

A radon test is not required to sell a home. A property disclosure statement only asks whether the home has been tested. A C-NRPP test gives you a result to put on it, and a low reading on record can be a good selling feature.

What if my radon level is high?

Radon levels can be reduced with a mitigation system installed by a C-NRPP certified mitigation professional. Before you decide on mitigation, a long term test is recommended, because radon levels go up and down over time. Ben runs short term tests only, and what you do next is up to you.

Can I combine radon and mould testing?

Yes. The Air Quality Package pairs a C-NRPP radon test with an air quality mould test for $50 off. Use the code AIRQ in the online scheduler.

Do you test outside Kelowna and West Kelowna?

Radon testing is offered in Kelowna and West Kelowna, because Ben places and collects every monitor himself.
