Radon testing in Baie-Comeau: what matters here

During long winters, windows stay shut and the house draws more air from the soil. That's exactly the ideal time for a long-term test.

Cold, wind and river humidity: in Baie-Comeau, thermography reveals weaknesses in the envelope, and a moisture check is useful in older basements.

Radon testing: what the inspector checks in Baie-Comeau

During a transaction, the timeline usually doesn't allow a three-month measurement. A short measurement gives a first indication, but buyers benefit from planning a long-term test once they move in, especially if the first one is high.

In Baie-Comeau, the inspector uses thermography to find weaknesses in an envelope exposed to cold and wind. They also measure moisture in older, often poorly ventilated basements.
