Radon mitigation in Kelowna uses Active Soil Depressurization, a sealed pipe and quiet fan that pull radon from under your foundation and vent it above the roofline. It is the method recommended for high readings and typically cuts indoor radon by 90% or more. Most homes are completed in a single day, and we re-test to confirm the reduction.
What is radon mitigation?
Radon mitigation is the process of lowering the radon gas level inside your home to below Health Canada's action level of 200 Bq/m³. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps up from the soil and collects indoors. Because the Okanagan sits in a high-radon region, mitigation is the step that actually fixes a high test result.
How does radon mitigation work?
The standard fix is Active Soil Depressurization, also called sub-slab depressurization. We seal a pipe through your foundation slab, connect it to a quiet, continuously running fan, and route it up to vent radon safely above the roofline. This creates low pressure under the slab so radon is captured before it ever enters your living space. Done right, it reduces radon by 90% or more.
Why mitigation matters in the Okanagan
The BC Interior, including Kelowna, West Kelowna, and Peachland, records some of the higher residential radon levels in Canada. Health Canada links long-term radon exposure to lung cancer, and identifies it as the second-leading cause after smoking. Mitigation removes that risk by keeping your home below the guideline year-round.
