Radon

Don't guess. Measure.

Radon is an invisible, naturally occurring radioactive gas that can enter buildings from the ground. You can't smell it. You can't see it. You can't reliably know your home's level without measurement.

Radon is one of the things you can't inspect by looking around.

Radon comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It moves up through the ground and can enter a home through cracks, gaps, and openings in the foundation. Once inside, it can build up — and levels vary from house to house, even on the same street.

None of this is a reason to panic. It's a reason to test. Measurement is straightforward, and if a level is elevated, mitigation systems are well established and effective.

You can't see it

Radon is colourless. There's no visible sign that it's present.

You can't smell it

Radon is odourless. Your senses won't tell you it's there.

You can only know by measuring

The only reliable way to know your home's level is a proper test.

Led by a specialist

Precision matters — especially when you're measuring what you can't see.

Radon measurement and mitigation require precision and procedure. That's exactly what ALBERT brings — a mechanical discipline built on aviation training, where you learn to trust the instruments, not the eyeballs.

What we do

Measurement and mitigation, done properly.

Radon measurement

Short-term and long-term testing to understand the actual level in your home — not a guess based on your neighbourhood.

Radon mitigation

If a level is elevated, mitigation systems are well established. We explain the options and what each involves.

Mitigation system assessment

Already have a mitigation system? We can assess whether it's performing the way it should.

Radon education

We'd rather you understand radon than be afraid of it. Ask us anything — no question is too basic.

Note: We do not make medical claims about radon or indoor air quality. We educate, encourage appropriate testing, and provide professional assessment.

The only way to know is to measure.

Talk to a radon specialist. We'll explain the process and what the results actually mean.
