Radon testing in Longueuil: what matters here

Even in the city, on filled land, radon can be present. A low result in the neighbouring building doesn't apply to your home.

Bungalows of this era often have basements insulated and finished after the fact. When the slab has moved, cracks can let moisture in, which is why an air-quality check is worthwhile.

Radon testing: what the inspector checks in Longueuil

The most common mitigation method is sub-slab depressurization: a pipe and fan draw the gas from under the slab and vent it outside. Done properly, it greatly reduces the concentration.

Longueuil bungalows often have foundation walls insulated from inside during a redo. The inspector checks the bottom of these walls and the junction with the slab with a moisture meter, where moisture builds up first.
