Kelowna sits in the heart of the Okanagan, one of Canada's higher-radon regions, so radon is a real and well-documented concern for local homeowners. From the lakeshore neighbourhoods of the Mission and Lower Mission to the hillside homes of Glenmore, Dilworth, the Upper Mission, and Black Mountain, radon can collect in basements and lower levels regardless of how new or well-built the house is. BC CDC and Interior Health data place the Kelowna area within a region where a large share of homes test above Health Canada's 200 Bq/m³ action level.
Why Kelowna homes need radon attention
Kelowna's mix of older Rutland and downtown homes and newer hillside developments all sit on Interior soils that release radon. Walkout basements and finished lower levels, common across Kelowna, are exactly where radon tends to concentrate. Because you cannot see or smell it, the only way to know your level is to test.
Radon testing in Kelowna
We start with certified measurement so you get a clear number in Bq/m³. The RDCO, based in Kelowna, offers free test kits as a first step, and we can provide certified testing and a mitigation plan if your level is high. See Radon Testing.
Radon mitigation in Kelowna
If your Kelowna home is above the action level, we install an Active Soil Depressurization system, usually in a single day, and re-test to confirm radon is back below 200 Bq/m³. Most Kelowna mitigation systems run $2,500 to $3,500, about $3,000 on average. See the cost guide and Radon Mitigation.
