Commercial Radon Testing in Calgary:
Keep Your Property Better Protected
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps into buildings through foundation cracks, gaps, and construction joints. For business owners, property managers, and employers in Calgary and across Alberta, Radon Doctors offers a scientist-led, certified approach to commercial radon testing, delivering accurate results, transparent reporting, and practical next steps.

What Does Commercial Radon Testing Involve?
Commercial radon testing is a structured process that, unlike residential testing, involves multiple zones, floors, or units – each of which can have distinct radon levels depending on ventilation and building use. A proper commercial radon test accounts for building complexity and gives a complete picture of the building’s radon profile, not just a single data point.
Radon Health Risks
What Are the Health Risks of Long-Term Radon Exposure in a Commercial Setting?
Radon is a major health concern in Canada, second only to smoking as a cause of lung cancer. When employees, tenants, or customers spend hours in a space with elevated levels, their lifetime health risk goes up significantly. Ultimately, providing a safer space is one of the most impactful ways you can support the well-being of your community.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Have more questions about commercial radon testing? We’re always happy to explain the science.
How long does commercial radon testing take?
Health Canada recommends long-term radon testing of at least three months for the most accurate results, ideally conducted during the heating season (October through April) when buildings are closed up and radon concentrations are typically at their highest. In situations where a faster result is needed – such as a real estate transaction – short-term testing options may be available, though these come with a greater margin of variability.
Who is responsible for radon testing in a multi-family building – the owner or the tenant?
This depends on lease agreements and the nature of the occupancy, but as a general rule, the building owner or property manager holds responsibility for the structural environment of the space. Occupational health considerations may also apply if any building employees are regularly exposed to elevated radon levels.
Can radon levels vary between floors or units in the same building?
Yes, radon levels can vary significantly within the same building. Ground-floor and below-grade areas typically have the highest concentrations because radon enters through the foundation of a building. Upper floors generally show lower levels, though HVAC systems and building pressurization can influence how radon it distributed throughout a structure.
Is radon testing disruptive to a business’s operations?
No. Radon testing devices are small, unobtrusive, and require no special setup or ongoing monitoring from your team. Once devices are placed, your business can continue operating as normal. There is no noise, no disruption, and no interference with day-to-day activities. At the end of the testing period, Radon Doctors retrieves the devices and handles all lab processing and reporting.
Do you provide documentation we can use for compliance or record purposes?
Yes. Every commercial radon test conducted by Radon Doctors includes a written report with clear results, measurement methodology, and recommendations for further action. This documentation is suitable for property records, compliance files, due diligence packages, and any other purpose requiring a formal record of radon testing conducted by a certified professional.
