Services
Blown-in Insulation
Blown-in insulation fills hard-to-reach spaces like attics and crawlspaces, improving thermal efficiency and reducing energy costs. We use fiberglass, cellulose, and dense-pack methods to achieve high R-values without settling. Ideal for new builds and renovations, our solutions enhance comfort while meeting modern energy standards.
HRV Installations
HRVs exchange stale indoor air with fresh, filtered air while retaining heat, improving indoor air quality and reducing humidity. We design, install, and balance systems to prevent condensation and allergens, benefiting those with respiratory conditions. Our HRVs ensure consistent ventilation for healthier, more comfortable living spaces.
Spray Foam
Closed-cell polyurethane spray foam provides superior R-values and acts as a vapor barrier, preventing air leaks and moisture intrusion. We apply eco-friendly foam made from recycled materials for new construction, commercial buildings, and retrofits. This durable solution enhances energy efficiency and structural integrity in Yukon's climate.
Radon Mitigation
Radon testing and mitigation systems reduce harmful gas levels in homes and businesses. We install sub-slab depressurization and ventilation systems to ensure safe indoor air quality. Our certified technicians assess risks and implement solutions that comply with health standards, protecting occupants from long-term exposure.
Slab Jacking
Slab jacking uses high-density foam to lift sunken concrete slabs, restoring surfaces without costly replacement. We inject eco-friendly foam beneath slabs to stabilize and level driveways, patios, and foundations. This cost-effective method extends the lifespan of concrete while maintaining structural integrity.
