Radon Testing & Mitigation in Moncton, NB
Property owners in Moncton usually come to radon testing and mitigation one of three ways: a letter arrived, a deal demands it, or something failed. All three are easier with local help already lined up.
Radon — the radioactive soil gas — is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in Canada, and the only way to know a building’s level is to measure it. Health Canada’s guideline is 200 Bq/m³; large swaths of the Prairies, interior BC, New Brunswick and pockets of every province routinely test above it. Workplaces are increasingly expected to test under occupational health duties, and daycares in several jurisdictions must.
How it works in New Brunswick
The rules that govern this in New Brunswick flow from the National Building Code as adopted under the Building Code Administration Act, and your paperwork ultimately answers to the municipal building department — our local partners work with them constantly.
Radon Testing & Mitigation for Moncton properties
The local context matters here. In Moncton, the province’s growth engine — new apartment construction enters fire testing cycles yearly, and Technical Inspection Services handles every electrical and elevator file directly.
The people who call us from Moncton range from first-time landlords to managers of large portfolios — the common thread is a requirement with a deadline and no time to source the right specialist.
Landlord and employer angles
Tenant-occupied basements are exactly the high-exposure scenario; testing rental units is fast becoming the professional standard, and some jurisdictions are moving toward mandating it. Federal workplaces and provincially regulated employers carry testing expectations under general duty clauses.
The process
Here is how the engagement typically runs for Moncton properties:
- Tell us the building type, occupancy and whether a transaction deadline exists.
- Approved long-term detectors are placed (or a certified measurement pro attends).
- The lab result determines whether mitigation is indicated.
- A certified mitigator designs and installs the system.
- Post-mitigation testing verifies the reduction and documents it.

Frequently asked questions
My neighbour tested low — am I fine?
No. Radon varies house to house on the same street depending on soil contact, foundation cracks and pressure dynamics. Only your own test answers it.
Does a radon system hurt resale?
The opposite, increasingly: a documented low result or an installed, verified system is a selling point — the house with the unknown is the risky one.
Which authority handles this in Moncton?
Day to day, enforcement in Moncton runs through the municipal officials (building, fire prevention, by-law) with the municipal building department as the provincial authority behind them under the National Building Code as adopted under the Building Code Administration Act. Our local partners deal with both routinely.
