& In-House Mechanicals

A beautiful basement is worthlessif it is not safe, dry, and warm.

We focus heavily on behind-the-wall engineering using our %100 percent in-house trades.

How do you ensure strict fire safety and separation?

For legal suites, we construct continuous 30-to-45-minute fire-resistance-rated separations between units using Type X drywall. We also install mandatory interconnected smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, utilizing code-approved wireless technology for older homes to save you the cost of tearing down main-floor ceilings. If your suite shares a forced-air furnace, our team adds specialized fire protection, such as an in-duct smoke detector that immediately shuts off the furnace blower and gas supply if smoke is detected.

How do you protect the basement from moisture and flooding?

Basements naturally face hydrogeological pressure. We install professional-grade vapor barriers and continuous full-height insulation to meet the updated 18 degrees Celsius OBC basement design temperature. Where necessary, sump pumps and backwater valves are included on the main sewer line to prevent municipal sewage from backing up into your new basement floor drains and fixtures.

What are the benefits of your in-house mechanical teams?

We do not cause delays by waiting for third-party subcontractors. Our internal licensed plumbing and electrical specialists handle the framing, electrical, and plumbing rough-ins in perfect harmony. From 200 Amp panel upgrades to proper HVAC ventilation and dedicated exterior exhausts, we ensure your mechanical systems are executed with total precision.
