We're three Canadians who got tired of how the radon industry works.
Ontario-based. Transparent by design.
Why we started Breathe Radon Free
Radon kills more Canadians every year than household fires and carbon monoxide combined. It's the leading cause of lung cancer for people who've never smoked. 1 And almost no Canadian home has been tested.
We looked at the Ontario radon industry and saw two problems.
The first problem: no one publishes prices. Every radon company in Ontario makes you fill out a form and wait. That's not how modern homeowners buy services. If you can book a plumber online with a clear rate card, you should be able to do the same for radon.
The second problem: pushy sales. The few companies that do publish pricing tend to upsell aggressively. We've talked to homeowners who were told they "definitely need mitigation" on homes that tested at 90 Bq/m³, well below Health Canada's guideline.
We started Breathe Radon Free to do the opposite of both.
Three things we commit to, in writing
We publish our prices.
Every testing and mitigation price is on our website. Updated monthly. No hidden fees.
We'll tell you when you don't need us.
If your test comes back below 200 Bq/m³, we'll say so. We don't sell mitigation to homes that don't need it.
We're local and we show our work.
