The problem

The attic insulation of Mrs. Negret's house was insufficient. There was less than 10” of fiberglass mat in some places. This caused ice dams on her roof in winter and made her house uncomfortable.

The solution

We have sealed all air leaks such as joints, electrical wire holes. Then, we isolated the recessed lights by adding a box to each of them and sealing around the box. We insulated the access hatch with SilverGlo and finally blew out just over 16” of cellulose fibers. 

The problem

Bad insulation of the attic of Mrs. Erst's house’ Less than 10 in’ of fiberglass as insulation’.

The solution

Remove fiberglass insulation, seal air leaks with our expanded polyurethane foam and blow 16” of cellulose fibers to achieve an R-60 value.

Problem

Lack of insulation in the attic. Our client only had 6” thick wool mats.

Solution

In order to provide a more comfortable home for our client, we removed the old insulation to seal all the air leaks present on the attic floor. And then,  blew in 16 in. of cellulose.

Problem

Mr. Grushka had high heating and cooling costs. His house has become less comfortable.

Solution

Re-insulate the attic and make it more airtight.

Our team removed the old fiberglass insulation to seal all air leaks such as the joints between the boards and the chimney and then the holes. Then we blew 16” of cellulose fibers for a thermal value of R60.

The problem

During winter, ice dams and huge icicles formed on the roof of Mrs. Forget's house. A lack of insulation in the attic was the cause of this problem. Even though Mrs. Forget had re-insulated her attic a few years ago, but the same problem had reappeared.

The solution

We removed the fiberglass insulation that was in the attic to seal all air leaks (joints and holes) with expanded foam. Subsequently, we added deflectors to allow better ventilation of the attic. Finally, we blew a little more than 16'' of cellulose fibers to reach an R-60 value.
