Radon testing in Matane: 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.

Thermography is especially useful in Matane, where wind reveals every sealing defect. It also shows damp areas left by rain-driven leaks.
