Ontario Home Warranty

Due to homeowner's concern with radon gas as a potential health hazard within their homes, Tarion is addressing this serious issue.  The Tarion Home Warranty will cover the costs of mitigating radon from homes, provided a radon test proves a high level of radon. If radon gas within a home exceeds Health Canada’s acceptable levels of 200Bq/m³, then Tarion will cover the costs required to mitigate a home up to a limit of $15,000. 

Coverage for Radon Claims

If radon gas levels exceed Health Canada’s acceptable levels of 200 Bq/m³, the home does not meet OBC guidelines, then Tarion will cover the costs of mitigating your home up to $15,000.

Process of Making a Claim

In order for radon claims to be accepted, the homeowner must supply:

• Test results identifying average radon levels in basement (finished or unfinished, but not from crawl spaces)
• Identification of test methodology (short-term test: less than 3 months, or long-term test: minimum 3 months as per Health Canada’s “Guide for Radon Measurements in Residential Dwellings (Homes)”
• Test measurements and results from a certified professional by the Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program (C-NRPP).
