The problem

Water infiltration in the attic coming from the roof.

Mr. Thibeault decides to fix the roof and reinsulate the attic of his house.

The solution

Our team of attic insulation experts removed the old fiberglass insulation which was in the attic to clog the air leaks on the attic floor as well as the electrical boxes of the lighting. Then, they blew 16 in’ cellulose to properly insulate the attic and offer a maximum comfort to our client.

Problem

Mrs. Rao had not re-insulated her attic for more than 10 years.

Solution

Remove the old fiberglass insulation, plug all the air leaks in the attic such as the joints, the holes that were made for the recessed lights and the wires. Then blow in 16 in. of fibers of cellulose for a value of R60.

The problem: This client from Brossard had an attic that was not insulated well. It had old fiberglass and it wasn't optimal for this attic. Also, the client was feeling that his rooms upstairs were not comfortable. During winter they were cold and in the summer they were really hot. Something not right was happening in this attic. 

The solution: We remove all the old isolation, after this, we seal off all cracks that happen to leaks air with expandable foam. After, we blown over 16 inches of cellulose to achieve R60 of value.  

The spectacular transformation we brought to the attic of a Greenfield Park home! Before our intervention, the household suffered from excessive drafts, exorbitant winter electricity bills, and even worrisome mold stains. Our team intervened with innovative solutions. We removed the old insulation, revealing hidden air leaks, then applied our Mold-X2 product to eliminate any trace of mold. Next, we sealed every hole, including the attic access hatch, ensuring airtight insulation. Finally, thanks to our TruSoft cellulose insulation, we achieved superior insulation quality.

PROBLEM

Our client, a resident of Boucherville, contacted us to come and inspect their attic. There was an excess of drafts in their house, which was very uncomfortable. Additionally, the hydro bills were very high, especially during the months of December, January, and February due to the overuse of heating systems to compensate for the cold drafts.

During our free inspection, our specialist Alexandrine examined the attic. She noticed the inadequate amount of existing fiberglass insulation. Furthermore, our specialist identified a sealing problem: She explained to our client that the presence of air leaks in the attic would diminish the effectiveness of the insulation. 

SOLUTION

After obtaining our client's authorization, our team of workers, led by Colin, began by removing the old insulation. This step is crucial because air leaks may be hidden underneath. Then, they conducted a detailed inspection to identify all sources of air leaks. Our excellent product, ZypFoam, was used to seal the air leaks. As for the attic access hatch, it is the largest opening in the attic that can let air escape, hence the importance of insulating it very well. For this, we used our revolutionary thermal insulator, SilverGlo. Finally, we blew approximately 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose fiber insulation into the attic to achieve an optimal thermal value of R60. The cellulose used is fire-resistant as well as resistant to mold formation.
