The problem

Mrs. Hanley had an attic that wasn't enough insulated. There were less than 10 in. of cellulose fibers in her attic which was equivalent to an R-38 value. The air circulation was almost non-existent which made the attic very humid.

The solution

Remove the cellulose, seal air leaks on the attic floor such as seams and holes with our polyurethane foam, add ventilation mats to improve air circulation, and then blow a little over 16" of cellulose fibers.

Our client in Saint-Lazare, Quebec, contacted us about concerns with their attic's condition before winter. After inspecting the attic, we discovered excessive humidity and air leaks, which were compromising the home’s energy efficiency and increasing heating costs. We addressed the issue by removing the old insulation, sealing air leaks, and installing TruSoft cellulose insulation to ensure optimal energy efficiency and protection against moisture.

When mold started to form in his attic, our client contacted us as he was concerned about the potential health risks and damage to his home. We safely removed the old, rotting insulation before neutralizing all the mold spores present in the attic. Next, we sealed all identified air leaks, using our high-quality ZypFoam to ensure a perfect seal. Finally, we installed the new cellulose insulation, ensuring it reached the desired R60 thermal value. This high level of insulation would significantly improve the attic’s thermal performance.

Our client had not inspected their attic for a long time and was sure there were problems. Our specialist explained to the client that this was a consequence of air leaks from multiple sources, such as the space around the chimney, recessed lighting fixtures, and holes for wires and pipes. The result was an annoying draft within the house.

We removed the old insulation and sealed all the air leaks. Then, we blew our TruSoft cellulose insulation throughout the attic to achieve an R60 thermal value.

This attic had an inadequate amount of insulation, and the client preferred to call in a professional to ensure an effective solution.Our team of workers removed the existing insulation to seal all the holes where air was escaping. Additionally, we blew about 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose fiber insulation onto the attic floor to achieve an optimal thermal value of R60.
