Radon testing in Port-Cartier: what matters here

During long winters, windows stay shut and the house draws more air from the soil. That's exactly the ideal time for a long-term test.

Homes of this era, exposed to salty winds, lose a lot of heat through original windows and junctions. Thermography helps prioritize sealing work.

Radon testing: what the inspector checks in Port-Cartier

During a transaction, the timeline usually doesn't allow a three-month measurement. A short measurement gives a first indication, but buyers benefit from planning a long-term test once they move in, especially if the first one is high.

In Port-Cartier homes, the inspector uses thermography to find air leaks at original windows and junctions. They also check ventilation and basement moisture.
