Concerned about radon levels in your home? A radon test is an inexpensive and simple way to bring you peace of mind for both an existing home and a prospective purchase. An invisible and odourless radioactive gas that’s released from the ground thanks to radium (which comes from uranium), radon build-up can occur in any home, regardless of age or how well it’s maintained. https://hubs.ly/H0D4tQV0

Canada’s long winters, along with a lack of sunlight, can affect our mental health. This year, while also facing the COVID-19 pandemic where we must limit social interactions, our wellbeing is challenged even more.

It turns out, size does matter. Or, rather, the misrepresentation of a home’s square footage, as a court ruled in favour of a first-time homebuyer in Stouffville, Ontario, after a seller and real estate agent failed to properly disclose the home’s size. An appraisal came in at 1,450 square feet, while the buyer has been told several figures ranging between 2,000 and 2,500 square feet. This discrepancy resulted in the rescission of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale and the return of the $50,000 deposit. https://hubs.ly/H0D4vnj0

Technology has certainly come a long way. And perhaps the most comprehensive tool for a home inspector is the thermal imaging infrared camera, as it can view what the naked eye can’t see, peering behind walls, under flooring, into attics/ceilings and more. A thermal scan of the entire structure and its components can take your visual home inspection to another level. https://hubs.ly/H0yS3lC0

After spending so many months largely cooped up at home, facing a long, gray winter inside that same space may feel daunting, to say the least.

Radon is an invisible radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in the ground and it’s the number one cause of lung cancer for non-smokers. It’s found in every home in Canada, but testing is the only way to truly know if a home has dangerous levels. As Canadians continue to spend more time at home, now, more than ever, it’s important to test your home for radon. People confined to their homes during the pandemic could be exposed to high radon levels. https://hubs.ly/H0yS3b_0
