Yes, Tarion new home warranty includes seven-year coverage for radon remediation when levels exceed Health Canada’s threshold of 200 Bq/m³.

To access this coverage, homeowners must first conduct proper long-term testing (minimum three months) to document the elevated levels before making a claim. Tarion’s coverage can save homeowners thousands of dollars in remediation costs if elevated levels are found. This warranty protection reflects the growing recognition of radon as a significant health concern in Ottawa’s housing market.
