That musty smell in the basement? It's not just a smell, it's data.

Excess humidity isn't just uncomfortable, it's the #1 driver of mold, dust mites, and wood rot inside a home. Most builders treat it as an afterthought. We treat it as a design input from day one: v***r barrs, air sealing, and mechanical dehumidification work together so your home holds steady in the 30–50% relative humidity range that's ideal for both comfort and health.



We can help solve humidity problems in your home. Contact Paltrin (www.paltrin.com) to get started.

Airtight homes don't trap bad air, they stop uncontrolled leaks.

The secret to fresh indoor air isn't drafty windows or leaky walls. It’s pairing a tight building envelope with engineered mechanical ventilation.

Instead of hoping enough outdoor air sneaks in through hidden gaps, an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) gives you a continuous, measured, and filtered supply of fresh air every hour of every day.

Stop relying on drafty walls for fresh air. Start building for comfort, health, and efficiency.

The best projects happen when the builder and architect talk together early on. Builders bring real-world input on costs, materials, lead times, and constructability that can save your project from redesigns later.

So go ahead, call a builder before those drawings are finalized. You’re not skipping steps. You’re being smart.

Radon is found all throughout the United States and Minnesota is no exception.

What is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It’s odorless, invisible, and can enter any home, new or old, drafty or airtight. High radon levels increase the risk of lung cancer, and it’s the #1 cause of lung cancer among non‑smokers in the U.S. according to epa.gov.

Here's the best way to minimize your risk while supporting the comfort of your home and air quality.

A radon test is inexpensive and easy, most tests run 2–7 days and provide clear results. Testing is the only way to know your home’s radon level. It is advised to mitigate levels above 2 pCi/L.

How does a Radon Mitigation system help?
✅ Reduces radon levels by venting soil gases safely outdoors
✅ Creates pressure differences that prevent radon entry
✅ Operates quietly and continuously
✅ Can be added to existing homes or built into new construction

For new homes, radon‑resistant construction is simple and cost‑effective. These features make it easier and less expensive to reduce radon levels if needed later.
