Mold and indoor air quality in Québec City: what matters here
Older homes renovated to be more airtight without added ventilation often develop moisture problems. We check the balance between airtightness and ventilation.
The masonry walls of older homes, insulated after the fact, and the capital's long winters make condensation a frequent finding. Thermography helps locate the cold areas where moisture builds up.
Mold and indoor air quality: what the inspector checks in Québec City
Effective ventilation is the best prevention: bathroom fans that really vent outside, a working range hood, a maintained air exchanger. A well-insulated but poorly ventilated house builds up moisture.
Québec City's long winters make the attic a risk area: the inspector looks for condensation under the roof deck, ice along the eaves and bathroom fans venting directly into it.
