Radon mitigation
Our no-fail mitigation system is your best option.
We have three ways to remove radon gas from a home, and the house decides which one it gets. Our founder holds the patent on two of them. Every install is retested, and every one carries our no-fail guarantee.
Three systems
The house decides which one it gets.
None of these is a premium version of the others. They suit different foundations, and choosing the wrong one produces a system that runs for years without moving the number.
Radon mitigation using your sump system
Where a house already has a sump pit fed by weeping tile, that pit is the single largest opening between the basement and the soil — and it is already collecting gas from the whole perimeter of the foundation. Our patented system adapts a radon mitigation sump cover to your existing sump and water-drainage system, seals the pit, and draws the soil gas off it through a dedicated vented line. Your biggest entry point becomes the extraction point, and the drainage keeps working exactly as before.
Best for: Houses with an existing sump pit and perimeter weeping tile — most Edmonton homes built since the 1950s.
Radon mitigation without a sump
Where there is no usable pit, we install our entire patented mitigation sump-tank system with both water and radon gas collection. A sealed tank is set into the floor so water handling and soil-gas collection stay fully separated: the pump discharges on its own line while the gas is captured and vented above the roofline.
Best for: Homes without a sump, wet or awkward pits, and anywhere a simple sealed cover will not hold.
Sub-slab depressurization
The industry-standard approach. A port is cored through the concrete floor into the gravel or fill beneath it, and a quiet fan holds that space at slightly lower pressure than the room above, actively venting soil gases to the outside atmosphere instead of letting them be pulled indoors. Placement is the whole job — one point in the right spot beats three in the wrong ones.
Best for: Slab-on-grade homes, houses with no sump, and most new construction.
The diagrams are schematic illustrations of how each system works. They are not reproductions of any patent filing, and the patented systems are described here using their cleared public description only.
The no-fail guarantee
A system nobody retested is an assumption. We test, and we stand behind the result.
Every mitigation we install carries a no-fail guarantee, and every installation is verified by a post-installation test. A system nobody retested is an assumption, not a fix.
What happens if the number doesn’t come down? We come back and fix it. Radon mitigation is diagnostic work, and occasionally the first suction point doesn’t connect to the path the gas is actually using — more common on fractured bedrock and older stone foundations than on a modern poured slab. Adjusting the system, adding a point or resizing the fan is part of doing the job, not a change order.
Keeping an eye on it afterwards. The fan runs continuously and draws about as much power as a lightbulb. A gauge or monitor on the vent line shows at a glance that it is still working, so a failure is visible rather than silent.
Written terms. The specific written terms of the guarantee are confirmed with you before any work begins, as part of your quote — in the document you actually sign, not summarised loosely on a web page.

New construction & commercial
Far cheaper to design in than to retrofit.
On a build that has not been poured yet, the collection layer, the rough-in and the vent route can all go where they should, rather than where the finished house allows. Our team is certified in all levels of radon services, including new-home and commercial construction.
Alberta building code has required a radon rough-in in new homes since 2015 — but a rough-in is a capped pipe. It does nothing until a fan and a proper seal complete it.
Questions
About mitigation.
How long does a mitigation system take to install?
Most residential installations are done in a single day. Health Canada notes that a properly installed system reduces radon by more than 80% in most homes. Older foundations, stone basements and houses without usable sub-slab drainage take longer, because the diagnostic and sealing work comes first.
Does the system run all the time?
Yes. The fan runs continuously and draws very little power — comparable to a lightbulb. It is designed to be left alone, and a gauge or monitor on the line tells you at a glance that it is still working.
Do you retest after a system goes in?
Always. A system that has not been verified by a post-installation test is an assumption, not a fix. Retesting is how the no-fail guarantee means something rather than being a slogan.
Can you handle new construction and commercial buildings?
Yes. Our team is certified in all levels of radon services, including new-home and commercial construction. On a build that has not been poured yet, the collection layer and vent route can be designed in from the start — far cheaper and neater than retrofitting a finished house.
