Radon testing in Val-d'Or: 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.

Older homes and 1960s and 1970s construction lose a lot of heat in very cold weather. Winter thermography clearly shows where to invest first.

Radon testing: what the inspector checks in Val-d'Or

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 cold weather, the inspector uses thermography to show where the house loses the most heat. They also look for attic condensation and check bathroom ventilation.
