Mold and indoor air quality in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts: what matters here
A cottage barely heated in winter or closed for long periods often builds up moisture. A check before buying avoids nasty spring surprises.
Older homes and enlarged cottages often combine sections insulated at different times. Thermography shows where the weak junctions are, and a moisture check completes the examination.
Mold and indoor air quality: what the inspector checks in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts
Basements are the most affected areas: cold foundation walls, carpet laid on the slab, partitions closed against a damp wall. A finished basement without a proper vapour barrier or drainage can hide a problem for years.
In enlarged cottages around Lac des Sables, the inspector uses thermography to find the junctions between sections built at different times. These junctions are often poorly insulated and collect condensation.
