The problem

The attic’s insulation of Mr. Gagnon's house was insufficient. There were only 10 in. and less fiberglass mats, which was equivalent to an R-25 value. This made her home uncomfortable, rooms were often too hot in summer and too cold in winter, and her house’s energy costs were very high.

The solution

Reinsulate the attic to achieve an R-60 value and thus make the house more comfortable and energy efficient.

We sealed all the air leaks on the attic floor, insulated the duct system as well as the chimney and insulated the vertical wall separating two attic levels. Then we installed vents all the way through the soffits and then blew just over 16” of cellulose fiber.

We were contacted via one of our social media from a client, who was concerned about her deteriorating attic insulation. An inspection revealed rotting insulation, leading to high Hydro bills, poor air quality, temperature fluctuations, and structural damage. We removed the old insulation, sealed leaks, and installed about 17" of cellulose insulation. This renovation significantly, improved the client's home comfort and air quality, and protected its structural integrity.

Our client in Mascouche reached out to us with concerns about the condition of their attic before winter. Upon inspection, we discovered excessive humidity and air leaks that compromised the home's energy efficiency and increased mold risk. We replaced the old insulation, sealed air leaks with ZypFoam, and installed 16 inches of TruSoft cellulose insulation to ensure optimal thermal protection and long-term moisture resistance for the winter.

When our client from Westmount, QC contacted us, he was dealing with an overheated attic despite having insulation installed, which increased his Hydro bills and made his home uncomfortable. Our inspection revealed inadequate insulation and significant air leaks, which we corrected by replacing the old insulation with our TruSoft cellulose and sealing the leaks. Due to our intervention, our client now enjoys a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.

Problem

Mr. Rouleau had problems with an ice dam on the roof of his house in winter. The main cause? Air leaks in the attic and poor insulation that sends heated air from your home to the roof.

Solution

The old insulation must be firstly removed and then the joints and holes pierced for the wires must be sealed with the polyurethane foam to prevent air leaks. After that we blew in 16” of cellulose.

Et Voila!
