Radon testing in Magog: what matters here
For a second home used mostly in winter, the test should cover the period when the house is occupied and heated.
Cottages rarely used in winter, hot tubs and heavily used bathrooms in rentals: in Magog, moisture is a frequent finding. A ventilation and air-quality check is often justified.
Radon testing: what the inspector checks in Magog
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 Magog cottages, the inspector measures moisture in rarely heated rooms and checks ventilation for bathrooms and hot tubs. Thermography often reveals a cold floor above a crawl space.
