Radon testing in Gaspé: 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.

Older homes exposed to salty winds lose a lot of heat through windows and junctions. Thermography helps target work, and damp basements justify an air check.

Radon testing: what the inspector checks in Gaspé

After mitigation, a new measurement confirms the system works. Measuring again is also recommended after major basement renovations or a change to the ventilation system.

In Gaspé's older homes, the inspector uses thermography to find air leaks at windows and junctions, and measures moisture in basements, often damp near the sea.

Report, timing and booking: Radon testing in Gaspé

The report is delivered digitally, with annotated photos and recommendations ranked by urgency. For Gaspé, booking lead times depend on the season: in spring, plan a few days ahead.
