About this episode
Reece discusses with Sam Myers how building science can help reduce costly callbacks for builders.
Reece sits down with Sam Myers of Retrotech to talk about why comfort issues, humidity problems, and buckled floors often turn into expensive callbacks for builders. They cover how air tightness, HVAC design, ventilation, and testing all work together, and why code minimum is not always enough to protect the homeowner or the contractor. If you build homes and want fewer surprises after move-in, this conversation is a practical reminder that measuring the house matters. https://retrotec.com ...
