Cape Breton's Expert Spray Foam Insulation Specialists
Founded in 2008, Ecohome Insulation has established itself as Cape Breton's longest-serving spray foam insulation specialist. Our journey began as rental property owners facing energy inefficiency challenges, leading us to adopt spray foam insulation as the superior solution for both residential and commercial properties. As locally-owned, independent contractors since 2009, we focus exclusively on spray foam insulation, leveraging our 16-year industry experience to deliver eco-friendly solutions made from sustainable materials. Our team holds specialized certifications and utilizes thermal imaging technology to ensure precision in every project. We maintain strong partnerships with local architects, builders, and inspectors while supporting community initiatives like Racing Against Drugs and Canadian Cancer Society fundraisers. With installations of leading products like WALLTITE Eco! and Boreal Nature Elite, we combine technical expertise with environmental responsibility.Our process addresses heat loss through convection and wind challenges unique to Cape Breton's climate, offering fire protection and soundproofing benefits. As the first Canadian contractor to receive SprayFoam Magazine's Contractor of the Year Second Runner-Up award in 2023, we maintain rigorous quality standards through ongoing staff training and equipment investment. Our comprehensive services extend beyond insulation to include slab jacking, polyurea coatings, and injection foam solutions. Our commitment to transparency is demonstrated through free energy audits and detailed explanations of our technical processes, ensuring clients make informed decisions about their thermal efficiency needs.

Services
Spray Foam Insulation
Our spray foam insulation creates airtight barriers that reduce energy bills by 50-80% while improving indoor air quality. The closed-cell structure prevents convection heat loss and moisture buildup, maintaining effectiveness in extreme temperatures and wind conditions. Locally manufactured from renewable resources, it enhances structural strength while providing fire protection and noise reduction.
Slab Jacking
This cost-effective concrete restoration technique lifts sunken surfaces like driveways and sidewalks by injecting specialized material beneath slabs. Our method preserves original concrete while eliminating tripping hazards and drainage issues, offering long-lasting results with minimal disruption to surrounding areas.
Polyurea Coating
Durable polyurea coatings provide waterproof protection for various surfaces, resisting chemicals, abrasion, and temperature extremes. Applied in hours rather than days, this flexible solution suits residential driveways, commercial flooring, and industrial equipment protection applications against corrosion and wear.
Injectable Spray Foam
Injectable foam seals gaps in existing structures, offering superior thermal performance and air sealing. This retrofit solution expands to fill cavities completely, reducing drafts and noise transmission while maintaining consistent indoor temperatures without settling over time.
Thermal Imaging
Our FLIR thermal imaging technology identifies energy leaks and moisture issues through visual diagnostics. This precision tool guides insulation placement by revealing temperature differences, helping optimize energy efficiency during new builds or renovations with accurate, actionable data.
