Radon Slab Preparation

Radon gas is a naturally occurring but dangerous gas that can seep into homes and buildings from the ground. In areas where radon exposure is a concern, like the Okanagan, we take extra steps to protect your home. Radon slab preparation includes installing a radon barrier, creating a radon collection layer under the slab, and adding venting systems that direct any gas safely outside. These elements work together to keep your indoor air safe and your slab protected over time.

Our radon slab preparation follows industry standards and ensures that all elements, from venting pipes to barriers, are correctly installed. This process provides protection while meeting health and safety codes, giving you peace of mind knowing your building is safer from potential radon exposure.

Standard Slab Preparation

For projects that don’t need radon prevention, our standard slab preparation is designed to deliver a durable and stable foundation. This process involves clearing the site, levelling the ground, and using a plate compactor to compact the soil, ensuring the ground won’t shift or settle over time. We monitor moisture levels, adjusting as needed to ensure the soil is compacted at the proper density.

We follow a thorough process to remove unsuitable material, backfill with high-quality soil, and level the ground, creating an ideal base for your concrete slab. Our standard slab prep ensures a stable, solid foundation for residential, commercial, or industrial use that will support your project for years.
