Direct municipal dataRadon Levels in Estevan
In Estevan, average indoor radon is 93 Bq/m³ (below the Saskatchewan average of 157 Bq/m³). 5% of tested homes exceed Health Canada's 200 Bq/m³ reference level. Local geology (Glacial) contributes to regional variation.
Geology note
Estevan sits on Glacial bedrock or surficial deposits. Radon enters homes through cracks in foundations, sump pits, and utility penetrations. Geology explains regional averages, but individual home levels depend on construction, ventilation, and soil contact.
Estevan vs Saskatchewan
Test to confirm your level
Regional averages are moderate, but radon varies house to house. Health Canada recommends all Canadians test their homes.
- 1Use a long-term test kit during heating season (October–April)
- 2Place the detector away from drafts, windows, and exterior walls
- 3If results are below 200 Bq/m³, retest every 2 years
- 4If results exceed 200 Bq/m³, consult a C-NRPP certified mitigator
Order a long-term radon test kit
Health Canada recommends a minimum 3-month test during heating season. Long-term kits give a more accurate picture than short 2-day charcoal tests.
