Contact Winnipeg Radon

The fastest way to reach us is by phone. Leave a message and we will get back to you the same business day.

Call us

For time-sensitive situations (a real estate possession date, a conditional offer waiting on a radon clause, or a lab report that just came back well above the guideline), call and leave a message. Mention the deadline in your voicemail and we prioritize the callback.

(431) 444-1142

Hours

  • Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM

Service area

We serve all of Winnipeg at the same base rate, plus the surrounding communities listed below. Rural properties beyond that are case-by-case with a modest drive charge where it applies.

Or send a written request

Best path for quotes, test results, photos of your basement or sump pit, and after-hours inquiries. Written requests are answered the same business day.

What to have ready when you call

Four pieces of information make the first conversation count:

  1. Your test result, if you have one. The number in Bq/m3 and whether it came from a short-term or long-term (91+ day) test.
  2. House basics. Age, neighbourhood, and foundation type (full basement, crawlspace, slab, or a mix).
  3. Basement details. Finished or unfinished, and whether there is a sump pit or exposed weeping tile.
  4. Any deadline. Possession dates and conditional offers change the testing approach, so tell us early.

Payment methods

Testing payable at placement or pickup; mitigation payable on completion.

  • Cash
  • Debit
  • Credit (Visa, Mastercard, Amex)
  • Interac e-transfer
  • Invoicing for commercial and property-management accounts

How to prepare for a radon visit

Five small things that make a testing or assessment visit faster and the quote tighter:

  1. Clear a path to the mechanical room. The furnace room and the lowest level of the house are where most of the assessment happens. Moving storage bins off the mechanical room floor saves real time.
  2. Uncover the sump pit if you have one. Sump pits are one of the most common radon entry points in Winnipeg basements and often the best suction point for a mitigation system. If yours is boxed in or carpeted over, tell us before the visit.
  3. Know your foundation. If part of the house sits on a crawlspace or an addition sits on its own slab, that changes the system design. Older Winnipeg homes often have additions with different foundations than the original footprint.
  4. Have your test report handy. The lab report shows the measurement period and conditions, which tells us how much confidence to put in the number and whether a follow-up test makes sense first.
  5. Think about where a fan and discharge pipe could live. Mitigation systems need a run from the basement to above the roofline or out a rim joist. If you have a preference (hidden in a closet chase, through the garage, on a back wall), flag it early and we design around it.

Common situations and how we handle them

Test came back above 200 Bq/m3

First, do not panic: radon risk is about long-term exposure, and Health Canada's guideline timelines give you room to fix it properly. We review the report with you, confirm whether the measurement conditions were sound, and quote a mitigation approach matched to your foundation. Levels just over the guideline and levels several times over it call for the same fix, a properly designed sub-slab depressurization system.

Buying or selling with a radon clause

Real estate timelines do not wait for a 91-day test. We help both sides run the fastest defensible option, typically a short-term closed-house measurement, and explain in writing what it can and cannot tell you. If mitigation ends up negotiated into the deal, we can quote from the inspection details so the numbers are on the table before conditions come off.

Never tested, not sure where to start

Start with a long-term test through the heating season, that is the measurement Health Canada's guidance is built on. We place the detector in the right spot, log the conditions, and handle the lab submission. Winnipeg's testing season sweet spot is November through March, when closed-house conditions are natural and readings reflect your real winter exposure.

Common questions about contacting us

If your question is about radon itself, testing methods, or mitigation pricing, the main FAQ covers more ground. The questions below are specifically about how to reach us and what to expect after you do.

What is the fastest way to reach you? +

A phone call. Voicemails left during business hours (Monday to Friday 8 to 6, Saturday 9 to 3) are returned the same business day. The online quote form is just as good for non-urgent inquiries and is the right path if you want to include your radon test result, your house details, or photos of your basement and sump pit. Email works best for follow-up after we have already spoken.

What information should I have ready when I call? +

Four things speed everything up. (1) Your radon test result if you have one, with the number in Bq/m3 and whether it was a short-term or long-term test. (2) The age of your house and which neighbourhood it is in. (3) Whether the basement is finished, unfinished, or partly finished, and whether you have a sump pit. (4) Any deadline attached, such as a real estate possession date. No test result yet? That is fine, testing is usually the right first step.

How quickly will you call me back if I leave a message? +

Voicemails and quote forms are reviewed through the day and returned the same business day, in the order received. Off-hours messages are returned the next working day. If your situation has a hard deadline, a possession date, a conditional offer, or a lab report that just came back high, say so in the message and it moves to the front of the callback queue.

Can I get a quote without an in-home visit? +

Often, yes. Radon mitigation quoting depends mostly on things you can describe over the phone or in the form: foundation type, square footage of the footprint, whether there is a sump pit, basement finish level, and where the furnace room sits. With those details plus your test number we can usually give a realistic range. Final pricing is confirmed with an on-site assessment before any work is booked, so there are no surprises on install day.

What payment methods do you accept? +

Cash, debit, credit (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), and Interac e-transfer. Testing services are payable when the detector is placed or picked up. Mitigation work is payable on completion, after the system is running and you have seen the manometer reading. Commercial jobs and property-management accounts can be invoiced once we have your business details on file. We never ask for full payment up front.

What if I am not in Winnipeg proper? +

We serve all Winnipeg neighbourhoods at the same base rate, plus the surrounding communities: East St. Paul, West St. Paul, Headingley, Oakbank, Niverville, and Stonewall. Rural properties farther out are case-by-case depending on the schedule that week, with a modest drive charge where it applies. Mention your location in the message and we will confirm coverage in the callback.

Should I change anything in the house before a radon test? +

Live normally, with one caveat. Long-term tests (91+ days, the kind Health Canada recommends) are designed to capture your real living conditions, so just keep windows closed as much as you normally would in the season. Short-term tests used for real estate timelines need closed-house conditions: windows shut, doors closed except for normal coming and going, ventilation systems on their normal settings. We walk you through it when the detector is placed.

Can I arrange access if I am at work during the visit? +

Yes. Testing drop-offs and mitigation assessments can work around your schedule, and many visits can be handled with a trusted neighbour, a family member, or a smart-lock code if you cannot be home. Send the access details in writing after we have spoken and we confirm everything, including photos of the completed work, before wrapping up.

Ready to get started?

A 30-second message is usually all it takes. Tell us your neighbourhood, whether you have a test result, and any deadline, and we will come back with clear next steps.
