Radon testing in Carleton-sur-Mer: what matters here

For a second home used mostly in winter, the test should cover the period when the house is occupied and heated.

Homes closed in winter and exposed to salty air are prone to condensation and mold. A moisture and air-quality check is useful before making one a year-round home.

Radon testing: what the inspector checks in Carleton-sur-Mer

The cost of mitigation is modest compared with a house's value and the health stakes. A high result is therefore not a reason to walk away from a purchase, but an item to price and plan.

In homes closed in winter, the inspector measures moisture and looks for signs of mold. Thermography also shows poorly insulated areas to fix before making the house a year-round home.
