Radon Mitigation in GO‑GC Military Housing

Many Canadian military homes face a silent, often overlooked threat: radon gas, an invisible, odourless substance that can seriously affect indoor air quality and long-term health. Radon testing and mitigation programs for GO‑GC military housing, with special provisions for the specific structural characteristics of GO-GC military housing units, are needed.

What is Radon?

Radon seeps into buildings as uranium decays through foundations and walls. In the long term, radon exposure significantly increases the likelihood of lung cancer, making it critical to know if it is present in confined environments, such as GO‑GC military housing.

Military Housing Needs Radon Assessment

Military housing across Canada, especially in high-radon provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan, is at risk. Harsh weather and temperature shifts contribute to radon buildup indoors. Consistent testing and mitigation are vital to protecting service members and their families. This increases the importance of consistent Radon testing and mitigation to protect service members and their families.

FAQs

Why is Radon mitigation important in Canadian military housing?

Radon exposure over time increases the risk of lung cancer, so it is essential to mitigate Radon. Because many service members and their families live in military housing communities, their health and well-being require Radon-free living areas.

My military housing has Radon: how can I tell how high the levels are?

The most effective way to test for Radon is through a Radon assessment. Our trained technicians use specialized detection tools to do this.

What are the Radon mitigation requirements for military housing?

Our mitigation methods include sub-slab depressurization, increased ventilation, and foundation crack sealing.

Is there Radon testing in Canadian military housing?

Radon testing of all residential buildings, including military housing, although not mandated, is highly encouraged by Health Canada.

How long does Radon mitigation take?

The time varies depending on the shape of the building and the amount of Radon entering. These interventions are performed within one to three days and are followed up with monitoring to ensure their effectiveness.

What responsibilities does the military have for Radon mitigation in housing?

Financially, the military has a housing authority that collaborates with Radon mitigators and properly improves Radon levels to Canadian safety standards.
