-
Yes. Inadequate ventilation can increase moisture levels within a dwelling, contributing to condensation, mould growth, and reduced indoor environmental quality.
-
Assessment duration depends on property size, complexity, and the scope of the evaluation, but most residential assessments can be completed within a single site visit.
