Attached housing changes system design
Where foundations adjoin, suction point placement and pressure field design need to account for it. Mention the construction type when getting quotes.

West York is a small, densely built borough adjoining the city, with row and twin housing common and lots that leave little room to either side. Attached and semi-attached housing raises a question that detached housing does not: your foundation may be continuous with, or immediately adjacent to, your neighbour's.
That does not prevent mitigation — attached homes are mitigated routinely — but it does affect system design, and it means a test result next door is somewhat more relevant here than it would be for detached houses. It is still not a substitute for testing your own unit, because ventilation, occupancy and foundation condition differ even between attached units.
What Matters in West York
Still test your own unit
Neighbouring results are more relevant in attached housing than detached, but ventilation and foundation condition still differ unit to unit.
Verify certification before touching a shared foundation
Work on attached housing can affect the building next door. Confirm the firm is DEP-certified and properly insured before anyone cores a slab you share.
Retest your own unit specifically
A good result in an adjoining unit does not establish yours. Insist the post-mitigation test is placed in your own living space.
