radon mitigation
What Does Radon Mitigation With Radon Doctors Involve?
Radon mitigation is the process of reducing elevated radon concentrations inside a home to safer, more acceptable levels. Radon mitigators work hard to find solutions that draw radon gas from beneath your home’s foundation and safely vent it outside, above the roofline. At Radon Doctors, every radon mitigation system is custom-designed and based on your home’s specific construction, foundation type, and pressure dynamics.
what to expect
How Long Does Radon Mitigation Take?
For most Calgary homes, a residential radon mitigation installation is completed in a single day – typically within 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of your home’s foundation and the system design required. Once the radon mitigation system is installed and running, radon levels should begin dropping almost immediately. A follow-up test, conducted 30 to 90 days after installation, will confirm that concentrations are well below Health Canada’s guideline of 200 Bq/m³.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Have more questions about radon mitigation? We’re always happy to explain the science.
How effective is radon mitigation?
Radon mitigation systems are highly effective when properly designed and installed, consistently reduce indoor radon levels by 80 to 99%. At Radon Doctors, every system is engineered based on your home’s specific pressure dynamics and foundation characteristics, which means we’re solving your actual radon problem – not merely applying a generic template. Post-installation radon testing confirms the results, so you’re never left guessing whether or not the system is doing its job.
Will my radon mitigation system be noisy or disruptive?
Radon mitigation systems are designed to operate quietly and continuously in the background, with minimal disruption to your home. The fan unit produces a low, steady hum that most homeowners quickly stop noticing (similar to the sound of a refrigerator humming). The system runs 24/7 without any manual operation required, and routine maintenance needs are minimal, making it a practical, low-effort, and long-term solution for radon reduction.
How soon after installation will my radon levels drop?
Radon levels begin falling almost immediately after a properly functioning radon mitigation system is switched on. Measurable reductions are typically evident within days, and follow-up testing (conducted 30 to 90 days after installation) will confirm that your levels have stabilized well below Health Canada’s guideline of 200 Bq/m³. It’s important to give the system time to establish consistent pressure dynamics beneath your slab before drawing conclusions from any single reading.
Can I install a radon mitigation system myself?
DIY radon mitigation products exist, but getting meaningful, lasting results requires an understanding of pressure field dynamics, proper pipe sizing, fan selection, and correct discharge placement. An improperly installed system can create a false sense of security while leaving radon levels still dangerously elevated – or in some cases, redistribute radon in ways that make the problem worse.
Hiring a professional that’s certified with the Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program (C-NRPP) means the system is designed based on your home’s actual conditions, installed to national standards, and confirmed effective with post-installation testing.
