Radon testing in Baie-Saint-Paul: what matters here
Older homes often have cracked foundations, incomplete slabs or open sumps, all entry routes for radon. A long-term test is all the more relevant.
After a flood, moisture can stay trapped in walls and floors for a long time. A moisture and air-quality check is especially relevant in areas affected in 2023.
Radon testing: what the inspector checks in Baie-Saint-Paul
The most common mitigation method is sub-slab depressurization: a pipe and fan draw the gas from under the slab and vent it outside. Done properly, it greatly reduces the concentration.
In homes restored after the 2023 flood, the inspector measures moisture at the bottom of walls and in floors. A persistent odour or recurring stains justify an air-quality assessment.
