Commercial Radon Mitigation in Calgary, AB:
We Keep Businesses Safer
Office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, schools, daycares, hospitals, government buildings, and multi-unit buildings can all harbour elevated radon levels that put employees, tenants, and customers at risk every single day. At Radon Doctors, we bring a data-driven approach to commercial radon mitigation across Calgary and Alberta, designing systems that are built to perform effectively and keep your space safer.

What Does Commercial Radon Mitigation Involve?
Commercial radon mitigation is the process of installing a professionally designed ventilation system that draws radon gas from beneath a building’s foundation and safely expels it outside – well before it can accumulate to harmful levels indoors. Unlike residential mitigation, commercial projects require a more diagnostic approach because the buildings are larger, more structurally complex, and often occupied by many people for long hours each day. At Radon Doctors, every commercial mitigation project begins with a thorough site assessment and ends with post-mitigation testing to confirm the system is working as intended.

How Do I Know if My Commercial Building Has a Radon Problem?
The only way to know what your radon levels are for certain is to test. Radon is invisible and odourless, and there is no way to estimate levels based on a building’s age, location, or construction type – even buildings in the same neighbourhood (or next door to each other) can have dramatically different radon concentrations. Radon Doctors offers commercial radon testing services to establish your baseline levels before any mitigation work is discussed, and we’ll always tell you honestly whether mitigation is or isn’t necessary. Higher risk spaces include:
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Have more questions about commercial radon mitigation? We’re always happy to explain the science.
How long does commercial radon mitigation installation take?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the building. Smaller commercial spaces (like a single-floor office or retail unit) can often be mitigated in one day. Larger or more complex buildings may require multiple days for installation, followed by a waiting period before post-mitigation testing can confirm results. We’ll give you a clear project timeline during your consultation so you can plan around it with minimal disruption to your operations.
Will radon mitigation system installation disrupt my business operations?
We work to minimize disruption to your day-to-day operations as much as possible. Most of the radon system installation work occurs in mechanical or utility areas, and our team works cleanly and efficiently to avoid interfering with your space. In most cases, businesses can remain open during the installation, though we’ll communicate in advance if any part of the process requires temporary access restrictions or brief shutdowns of specific areas.
Does commercial radon mitigation require any ongoing maintenance?
Radon mitigation fans are designed to run continuously and are generally low-maintenance, but they should be checked periodically to ensure they’re operating correctly. We install systems with visual or pressure indicators so building managers can quickly identify if something isn’t functioning as expected. We also recommend periodic re-testing, particularly if the building undergoes significant renovations or experiences changes to its foundation or HVAC systems. This confirms that radon levels remain below the Health Canada guideline, even after building changes have been made.
Can radon mitigation be added to an existing building, or is it only for new construction?
Radon mitigation can absolutely be retrofitted into existing commercial buildings! In fact, the majority of commercial radon mitigation work is done on existing structures. The process involves drilling suction points into the existing concrete slab and routing piping to an exterior exhaust point. Our team conducts a thorough site assessment before any installation to ensure the system is designed for your specific building’s structure and sub-slab conditions.
Our commercial radon mitigation Process
Three Clear Steps. Verified Protection.
Getting started with commercial radon mitigation is straightforward. Here’s what the process looks like from first contact to a safer building.
Onsite Consultation
We visit your property, walk through it, assess the foundation type and sub-slab conditions, and discuss your testing history and concerns. This visit gives us everything we need to design a system that’s right for your building.
Design & Installation
Based on our diagnostic findings, we design a mitigation system, then install it efficiently with minimal disruption to your business. Our work is always clean, professional, and done right the first time.
Testing & Reporting
After the installation, we conduct post-mitigation testing to confirm that radon levels have dropped below 200 Bq/m³. You receive a clear, written report documenting both your pre- and post-mitigation results.
