Systèmes Éconergie Before & After Photos

The problem

Ms. Doucet contacted Système Econergie, because she had problems with ice dams on her roof in winter. This is due to the poor insulation of the attic and unclogged air leaks.

The solution

To solve this problem, we removed our customer’s old insulation to seal all air leaks (seal joints, holes etc) with our expanded foam. And then we insulated the access hatch with our SilverGlo to finally blow just over 16”of cellulose fiber insulation all over the attic floor.

Problem

Our client, a resident of Blainville, contacted us to inspect his attic. Despite having recently done the insulation, he still feels that the attic is humid. Additionally, the air drafts within the house has not completely disappeared. During her detailed inspection, our specialist, Fanny, pointed out the importance of adhering to the recommended amount of insulation to achieve the appropriate thermal value. The suggested value for most regions in Quebec is R60. However, the existing insulation provides only a value of R30.

Solution

We removed the existing insulation to ensure there is no air leakage underneath. Subsequently, we blew in our excellent cellulose insulation to achieve the thermal value of R60. It is important to note that our insulation is fire-resistant, mold-resistant, and eco-friendly.

Our client in Pierrefonds contacted us for an attic inspection and potential repairs before winter. Our specialist, Alexandrine, identified excessive moisture due to air leaks, which could lead to mold and reduced insulation effectiveness. Under foreman Colin's supervision, we removed the old insulation, sealed all air leaks with ZypFoam, and installed new TruSoft cellulose insulation, ensuring improved residential comfort and energy efficiency.

Our client in Laval-Ouest contacted us about their damp and poorly insulated attic. After a free inspection, we discovered air leaks causing mold and overuse of heating and cooling systems. With the client's consent, we removed the old insulation, treated the mold, sealed the air leaks, and installed new insulation, greatly improving the attic's energy efficiency.

Our client, residing in Sainte-Therese, contacted us due to concerns in their attic. Despite the recent installation of fiberglass insulation, they were still experiencing the same negative effects.

Our specialist visited to inspect the attic and immediately noticed excess moisture. Additionally, mold was observed on the ceiling. The specialist explained that simply installing insulation throughout the attic is not enough. Air sealing is a crucial step that should not be overlooked. Moreover, the amount of insulation installed should achieve an R-value of R60.
