Protect Your Home with Certified Radon Mitigation Services in Ontario
Radon is a dangerous, odorless, and invisible radioactive gas that seeps into homes from the soil, accumulating in basements and lower floors. Long-term exposure to high radon levels is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and poses a serious health risk to Ontario homeowners. Our team provides comprehensive radon mitigation solutions to ensure your indoor air is safe and healthy.
Ontario's Radon Risk: Is Your Home Affected?
According to Canada Radon’s Ontario Radon Map, some regions have significantly higher-than-average radon levels, with many homes testing above the Health Canada safety guideline of 200 Bq/m³. The only way to know if your home in Ontario is affected is to conduct a professional radon test.
High-Risk Radon Areas in Ontario
Homeowners in the following areas should be especially vigilant about radon testing:
- Greater Sudbury & Northern Ontario – Many homes test well above 200 Bq/m³.
- Ottawa & Eastern Ontario – Documented high levels in basements and crawl spaces.
- Hamilton, Niagara, and Southwestern Ontario – Mixed radon levels, with certain pockets exceeding safe limits.
- Toronto & the GTA – While lower on average, individual homes still test above safe limits.
Since radon exposure is cumulative, even moderate levels over long periods can significantly increase lung cancer risk. A professional radon test in Ontario can determine if mitigation is necessary.
How Does Radon Enter Your Home?
Radon gas is naturally released from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It seeps into homes through:
- Cracks in foundation walls and floors
- Gaps around pipes, drains, and sump pits
- Exposed soil in crawl spaces
- Poorly ventilated basements
Our Radon Mitigation Process
At BHE, we offer certified mitigation services to detect, diagnose, and reduce radon levels in homes across Ontario.
Step 1: Radon Testing & Diagnosis
We use Health Canada-approved radon detection methods to measure radon levels accurately.
- Short-Term Radon Testing (2–7 days): Provides a quick snapshot of radon levels.
- Long-Term Radon Testing (90+ days): Recommended for the most accurate, seasonally adjusted readings.
If radon levels exceed 200 Bq/m³, we develop a customized mitigation plan to lower exposure.
If you’re unsure about your home’s radon levels, our reliable radon test in Ontario will give you a clear answer.
Step 2: Customized Radon Mitigation Plan
Every home is different, which is why we design personalized radon reduction strategies based on:
- Your home’s foundation type (basement, crawl space, slab-on-grade)
- Existing ventilation systems
- Radon entry points and concentration levels
Our radon mitigation services in Ontario are designed to effectively reduce radon and keep your indoor air safe.
Step 3: Installing a Radon Mitigation System
We install high-efficiency radon mitigation systems to remove radon gas safely. Our radon mitigation services in Ontario ensure that radon levels are significantly reduced, creating a healthier home environment. Common methods include:
Sub-Slab Depressurization (SSD) – The Gold Standard
- Creates a vacuum beneath the home to redirect radon outdoors.
- Involves installing a vent pipe and fan system to continuously remove radon.
- Works for most homes with basements or slab foundations.
Sump Pit Radon Mitigation
- Covers the sump pit with an airtight lid and connects it to a venting system.
- Ideal for homes with sump pumps or drain tiles.
Crawl Space Sealing & Ventilation
- Covers exposed soil in crawl spaces with a radon-resistant vapor barrier.
- Improves air exchange and radon dilution with proper ventilation.
Step 4: Post-Mitigation Testing & Ongoing Monitoring
Once the mitigation system is installed, we retest your home to confirm that radon levels have dropped to a safe level below 200 Bq/m3;. We also offer continuous monitoring solutions for long-term peace of mind.

- You live in a high-risk area (check the Ontario radon map).
- Your home has never been tested for radon.
