Radon testing in Sherbrooke: what matters here

Older homes often have cracked foundations, incomplete slabs or open sumps, all entry routes for radon. A long-term test is all the more relevant.

The Vieux-Nord's large Victorian homes are hard to heat, especially when divided into apartments. Thermography shows where the losses are and helps prioritize work.

Radon testing: what the inspector checks in Sherbrooke

Health Canada recommends measuring radon for at least three months, ideally during the cold season, when the house is closed up and radon builds up more. A measurement lasting a few days only gives an indication.

In large houses divided into apartments, the inspector checks the ventilation of bathrooms added during conversion, often missing. They measure moisture around showers and look for mold on ceilings.
