Which Radon test should I choose: Short-Term or Long-Term?
The choice depends on your goal. Short-Term tests (2-7 days) are designed for speed, making them ideal for real estate transactions where a quick "snapshot" is needed. Long-Term tests (90+ days) are highly recommended by Health Canada for homeowners assessing health risks. Because radon levels fluctuate daily based on weather and seasons, a long-term test gives you the most accurate average exposure reading for your family.
Are these DIY kits as accurate as having a professional come to my house?
Yes, provided they are certified and used correctly. The test kits we sell are C-NRPP (Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program) approved devices—the same type used by professionals for passive testing. The key difference is that you place it yourself. The analysis is conducted by a certified laboratory to ensure highly accurate results.
Why is testing strongly recommended specifically for Okanagan homes?
The Okanagan region has unique geology with higher concentrations of uranium in the soil, which decays into radon gas. Health Canada surveys have shown that a significant percentage of homes in our interior region exceed safe guidelines. It does not matter if your home is brand new or 100 years old; the only way to know if this invisible gas is entering your home is to test for it.
