The majority of new homes built in Atlantic Canada today are not properly protected against the risks of moisture intrusion into the building envelope. As a result, the major cause of deficiency complaints with the Atlantic home warranty organizations is moisture intrusion. Ironically, the fix is quite simple, and easy to apply. Brian will show you a method that will protect the home, and also qualify for a 10 year labour and materials warranty.
Brian has been involved in the in the construction industry in Canada for over 4 decades. His primary area of expertise is building weatherization and insulation. He has worked with Owens Corning as National Sales and Specification Manager specializing in residential and industrial insulation applications. He has also worked with CertainTeed as Atlantic Regional Sales Manager. For the last 8 years, he has been the Atlantic Residential Specialist for DuPont, conducting training on the proper methodologies to keep moisture from compromising (i.e.. destroying) buildings. Brian been active with local HBA chapters throughout his career, including serving on boards, as well as with the Atlantic Chapter of Construction Specifications Canada, where he served as Chairman for 2 terms.
