Mold and indoor air quality in Rimouski: what matters here
In coastal areas, humid air and wind-driven leaks encourage moisture in exposed walls. We examine them first.
River winds push water and air through the smallest defects in the envelope. Winter thermography shows where cold air gets in, notably on facades facing northeast.
Mold and indoor air quality: what the inspector checks in Rimouski
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 Rimouski, the inspector uses thermography to find cold air getting in through facades exposed to offshore wind. They also measure moisture behind siding where wind-driven rain may have got in.
Report, timing and booking: Mold and indoor air quality in Rimouski
For a property in Rimouski, give the approximate year built, access details and deadlines in the form: the inspector arrives better prepared, with the right equipment. The photo report follows within 24 to 48 hours.
Avoid inspecting the exterior during a storm if you can, but a windy day sometimes helps find air leaks from inside.
