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!
An Attic Systems specialist will be able to determine which parts of your attic need to be treated to solve the problems that are affecting the air and the environment of your home.
In Saint-Constant, our client was dealing with a poorly insulated attic, resulting in drafts, uncomfortable temperature fluctuations, and high energy bills. After a thorough inspection, we completely caulked the air leaks around ducts, hatches, wiring, and recessed lighting fixtures, then installed TruSoft blown cellulose insulation with an R60 thermal value, adding radiant barriers and optimizing ventilation with baffles. These measures created a continuous thermal envelope, significantly reducing heat loss, improving indoor comfort and air quality, while enabling our client to achieve significant energy savings and prevent the risk of mold growth.
