RADON TESTING & MITIGATION SERVICES IN WINNIPEG
Keeping you safe, by ensuring your home or business maintains the safest radon levels possible.
Radon is Canada's second leading cause of lung cancer, taking the lives of over 3000 Canadians every year. Radon is able to penetrate any home, whether brand new, or years old. Being hard to detect without proper equipment, it is essential to have your home tested by a C-NRPP certified professional. This ensures all local codes and Health Canada guidelines are adhered to, and that a quality job is done.
How it works:
Get your home/building tested for radon
Wait for the test results
If the levels are dangerous/harmful…
Get radon in home/building mitigated
Should you get tested for radon?
Certain neighbourhoods in Winnipeg have higher average radon levels, but radon can be dangerous no matter where you live in the city. A test is inexpensive and pretty straightforward, so it is something we suggest doing to be safe, whether with us or on your own.
We have helped 100s of Manitobans test their home for harmful levels of radon and have mitigated those who required radon remediation services. If you would like us to help you make your home safer, click the button below to schedule a FREE in home consultation.
WHAT ARE DANGEROUS LEVELS OF RADON?
According to Health Canada, if your radon levels are found to be over 200 bqm3 after your test, you should mitigate. The World Health Organization suggests it be mitigated at any level over 100 bqm3.
If your test comes up over 200 bqm3, we highly suggest looking into radon remediation to lower those harmful levels.
our WINNIPEG radon mitigation process
Radon is found in the soil gases beneath the house. In order to properly mitigate the levels, we must install a fan (seen below). Once installed properly, the gases are exhausted outside where they immediately dissipate to a level of 10 becquerels per meters cubed (the radon level in all outdoor air). The radon fan collecting the soil gas from beneath the house also turns the sub slab space from a positive air pressure to a negative pressure. This also prevents the flow of radon into your house. Our fans are some of the best out there (sourced from Radon Away in Massachusetts), have the longest life cycle on the market and are the quietest in the industry. They are virtually silent!
No radon mitigation system is complete without first conducting a comprehensive communication test to ensure the ultimate effectiveness of the radon mitigation system. Our communication testing is conducted thoroughly and meticulously which is why Canadian Shield Radon is able to boast post mitigation numbers as low as 14 bqm3 down from over 1200 bqm3!

WHAT OUR HAPPY RADON MITIGATION CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
“The response that we had from Canadian Shield Radon was excellent and effective in dealing with our Radon problem. As seniors we have had medical issues which led to our doctor advising us to test for and then resolve any problems with this gas. We monitored our home for some time and then contacted Eric. He came quickly to assess our situation and responded within a week to do the work. Most importantly our Radon levels are down and we are greatly relieved.”
“We hired Eric and Glen from Canadian Shield to initially test the radon level in our home . We ended up having a radon mitigation fan installed in our home. They were outstanding from the start of this process from the radon testing, to the communication testing, to the installation of the fan, and the initial follow up to test the radon level post installation. They were very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and helpful in answering any of our questions and concerns! We would definitely recommend them to anyone who is concerned or considering having their home tested and fitted for radon mitigation! ”
