Radon testing in Forestville: what matters here

In a country home, the basement is often in direct contact with undisturbed natural soil, and many homes have dirt floors or crawl spaces. A test is the only way to know the real level.

In wood-heated homes kept tightly closed in winter, moisture and air quality deserve a check. Thermography also shows where owner-done work has left heat loss.

Radon testing: what the inspector checks in Forestville

After mitigation, a new measurement confirms the system works. Measuring again is also recommended after major basement renovations or a change to the ventilation system.

In Forestville's wood-heated homes, the inspector examines the stove, clearances and chimney, then checks for carbon monoxide alarms. They also measure moisture in rooms kept closed in winter.
