Radon Testing

SRC Environmental Analytical Laboratories provides Canadian radon analysis for residential and wholesale or large projects. Our radon test kits include a long-term test (90-365 days) using an alpha track detector. 

We are an independent laboratory accredited by the Canadian Association of Laboratory Accreditation (CALA) to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards and certified by the Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program (C-NRPP) for radon measurement.

about SRC's home Radon Test Kit

SRC offers homeowners across Canada with easy-to-use radon test kits. You can purchase our radon test kit through the providers below and our lab will analyze your detector once the test is complete.

That's right - we do the analysis right at our lab in Saskatchewan. Many other detectors are sent out of country for analysis (meaning more expensive shipping fees).

About Radon

Radon is a colourless, odourless and tasteless radioactive gas. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer in Canada. The only way to determine whether your home or office has radon and how much is to test for it.

Radon is formed by the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. Radon that escapes from the ground and enters an enclosed space, such as a home or office, can sometimes accumulate to high levels.

Radon levels can vary dramatically even between similar homes located next to each other. The presence and amount of radon in a home will depend on many factors such as soil characteristics, construction type, foundation, occupant lifestyle and weather.
