Radon is a serious health concern that often goes unnoticed until it’s too late. This naturally occurring, radioactive gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer in Canada, and it can seep into your home without any warning signs. At TRIO Inspections, we provide professional radon testing for homeowners, buyers, and sellers across Kelowna, Penticton, Vernon, and the surrounding areas to help you protect your family and your investment.
If you’re buying a home, preparing to sell, or simply want to ensure your home is safe, a radon test is one of the smartest decisions you can make.
Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that forms naturally from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. As it rises from the ground, it can enter homes through cracks in the foundation, gaps around pipes, and other small openings.
Over time, exposure to elevated radon levels can damage lung tissue, increasing the risk of lung cancer. According to Health Canada, 1 in 6 homes in parts of British Columbia test above the recommended safe levels.
Because radon has no smell or immediate symptoms, testing is the only way to know your risk.
At TRIO Inspections, we follow trusted protocols and use continuous radon monitors (CRMs) for fast, accurate results. Our process is simple, non-invasive, and can be completed alongside your home inspection or as a standalone service.
We also offer guidance on what to do if your radon levels come back high, including referrals to certified mitigation professionals.
Whether you’re buying a home in Kelowna or testing a rental property in Penticton, our team makes it easy to get the answers you need.
Yes—especially in interior regions like the Okanagan Valley. Health Canada has identified many areas in BC with moderate to high radon potential. Homes with basements, crawlspaces, or slab-on-grade foundations can all be at risk.
Even newly built homes with modern ventilation systems can have high radon levels. That’s why testing is recommended every 5 years or after any major renovation or HVAC change.
Don’t leave your health to chance. TRIO Inspections offers reliable, affordable radon testing to homeowners and buyers throughout Kelowna, Penticton, Vernon, and beyond. Schedule your test today and take control of your indoor air quality.
