Jeffries Plumbing in Halifax provides essential radon testing and mitigation services to clients throughout HRM, including Bedford, Sackville, and Tantallon. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas formed from the decay of uranium in soil and rock. It is invisible, odourless, and tasteless. While radon poses minimal risk outdoors, it can accumulate to hazardous levels indoors, especially in homes. Inhalation of radon and its decay products can damage lung tissue and significantly increase the risk of lung cancer.
Radon can enter homes through cracks in foundations, floor slabs, and other ground-level openings. Radon levels vary across Canada due to geological factors. The Canadian guideline for radon in indoor air is 200 Becquerels per cubic meter (200 Bq/m3). Regular radon testing is essential to accurately assess levels, as they can differ significantly even between similar homes.
Homeowners should prioritize testing for radon and taking appropriate measures if levels exceed the guideline to mitigate health risks. Addressing radon exposure is critical in preventing radon-induced lung cancer, as there is no safe level of radon exposure.
