Foundation, pyrite and pyrrhotite assessment

Foundation, pyrite and pyrrhotite assessment in Port-Cartier: what matters here

The region's deep frost puts heavy pressure on poorly drained foundations. Horizontal cracks and leaning walls are examined carefully.

Deep frost, original drains and foundations exposed to climate cycles: in Port-Cartier, a drain camera is often justified for a house over forty years old.

Foundation, pyrite and pyrrhotite assessment: what the inspector checks in Port-Cartier

Water is often behind foundation problems: poor drainage, gutters emptying against the house, grading that slopes toward the walls. Fixing the water is often the first step, before any repair.

The inspector often recommends a camera for the original drain, subjected to decades of freeze and thaw. They also examine the foundations for cracks tied to deep frost.
