Algoma Radon Testing Looks Forward To Hearing From You

The 2024 Ontario Building Code, effective January 1, 2025, mandates new construction to include a rough-in for a subfloor depressurization system to protect against radon and soil gas ingress. This means new homes will have the necessary pipes and granular material in place for a future radon mitigation fan, a significant step to prevent lung cancer caused by the invisible, odorless gas. Builders must also ensure air barriers are continuous and seal all penetrations to prevent radon from entering the building.
