Licensed Structural Engineer (P.Eng.) specializing in residential foundations and concrete durability in severe freeze-thaw climates. Based in Quebec, he has 15 years of experience diagnosing frost heave, structural cracking, and load-bearing issues.
David Tremblay is a practicing Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) focused on the structural integrity of residential buildings across Eastern Canada. His expertise lies in soil mechanics and concrete behavior, specifically addressing how frost cycles affect foundations and footings in clay and sand soils. David provides critical engineering insight into structural renovations, such as underpinning basements, removing load-bearing walls for open-concept layouts, and verifying roof truss capacities for heavy snow loads combined with added insulation. He is intimately familiar with the structural sections of the National Building Code of Canada and advises on the risks of frost jacking in deck posts and additions. His articles offer homeowners the technical safety checks required before covering structures with insulation.
