Radon Rough-In Requirements for New Construction

The Canadian National Building Code now requires that all new residential constructions include a radon rough-in system.
This system provides the necessary foundation for a future active radon mitigation system, designed to safely reduce radon levels inside the home.

Installing a rough-in during the construction phase is both cost-effective and efficient. Once a home is finished, adding the required components becomes more complex and expensive. By including a radon rough-in during the build, homeowners ensure that their property is ready for effective mitigation should elevated radon levels ever be detected.

Radon rough-in systems are engineered to draw air from beneath the foundation slab and vent it safely outside the building envelope. Proper installation minimizes energy loss and system noise while maintaining the home’s indoor air comfort and energy efficiency.

All installations should be performed by certified radon professionals to ensure compliance with code requirements and optimal system performance.
