Radon testing in Gatineau: what matters here
Even in the city, on filled land, radon can be present. A low result in the neighbouring building doesn't apply to your home.
Old Hull's matchbox houses, wooden and poorly insulated originally, lose a lot of heat and are sensitive to moisture. Thermography and a moisture check help plan their renovation.
Radon testing: what the inspector checks in Gatineau
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 poorly insulated matchbox houses, the inspector uses thermography to find cold walls and a moisture meter to check the bottom of walls. In flood-affected areas, they look for signs of mold.
