Radon Testing Information and Pricing
What is Radon?
Radon is an invisible, odorless and tasteless gas that is released from the ground where radium naturally occurs in the soil. It can enter your home through cracks and holes in a foundation or even through drains. Radon gas can build up over time in any home of any age and two houses next to each other may have completely different levels.
"Class A" Carcinogen
Radon is a known human “Class A” carcinogen. The gas and its decay products have been directly linked to lung cancer. Smokers or those exposed to second-hand smoke are at much greater risk.
Radon in Nova Scotia
Some areas of Nova Scotia have a higher risk of radon because of the local geology.
Testing is the only way to find out how much radon is in your home, so it is important to test no matter where you live. The radon risk map for Nova Scotia (Department of Natural Resources website) shows areas with high, medium and low risk.
