• Radon can enter a home anywhere the house touches the ground. If you hire a radon professional, the City of Calgary advises making sure they run a long-term test of at least three months.

• Soil can freeze to the outside of a foundation wall and pull it upward, which is called adfreezing. Backfill made of frost-prone soil can lead to this damage, so ask your contractor what backfill and drainage they plan to use.
