Radon Mitigation in Ottawa
Don’t take the chance and remediate high radon levels in your household today.
Protecting Your Home From the Ground Up
Discovering elevated radon levels does not mean your home is unsafe to live in immediately, nor does it mean you need extensive renovations.
In many homes, radon concentrations can be substantially reduced through a professionally designed and installed radon mitigation system.
How Does Radon Mitigation Work in Ottawa?
One of the most effective methods is active sub-slab depressurization.
This system uses a specially designed suction point beneath your basement’s concrete floor, connected to sealed piping and a continuously operating radon-rated fan.
The fan draws radon-containing soil gases from beneath the foundation and safely exhausts them outdoors before they can accumulate inside your home.
What Does Installation Involve in Ottawa?
A typical installation may include:
Evaluating your basement, foundation and soil-gas conditions.
Identifying suitable suction points and pipe routes.
Installing sealed PVC piping and a radon-rated fan.
Routing exhaust to an appropriate exterior termination.
Testing system performance and verifying radon reduction.
Every home is different. Finished basements, older foundations, crawlspaces, multiple additions and unusual floor configurations may require customized solutions.
How Effective Is Radon Mitigation in Ottawa?
Properly designed and installed mitigation systems can often reduce indoor radon concentrations by more than 80%, although actual performance varies by property.
Following installation, appropriate testing is essential to verify that radon levels have been reduced.
