Does Old Trois-Rivieres have specific challenges?+
Yes. The historic centre includes Beaux-Arts buildings rebuilt after the 1908 fire, with ornamental masonry, mansard roofs and systems modernised in stages. The proximity of the St. Lawrence adds moisture risk.
Are the former mill worker neighbourhoods problematic?+
Worker housing from the 1920s-60s features minimal insulation, period systems and sometimes traces of soil contamination. These homes can still offer good value after a rigorous inspection.
Are riverfront properties at risk?+
Waterfront properties face shoreline erosion, prevailing winds and spring floods. The Saint-Maurice River also creates flood zones. We systematically assess these risks during every inspection.
