Radon testing in La Tuque: 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.

In wood-heated homes kept tightly closed in winter, air quality and moisture deserve particular attention. Thermography also shows where the long winters cost the most in heating.

Radon testing: what the inspector checks in La Tuque

The Canadian guideline is 200 becquerels per cubic metre. Above that level, Health Canada recommends fixing the situation, and the higher the result, the sooner action is advised.

In La Tuque's wood-heated homes, the inspector examines the stove, clearances and chimney, then checks for carbon monoxide alarms. Thermography shows the most costly heat losses.
