Problem  

Mrs. Virginie contacted us to inspect the attic of her house in Bois-Des-Filion.  

Our specialist, Jerry, examined the attic thoroughly. He noticed many air leaks and mold on the ceiling. In addition, there was a lack of insulation. This was the source of uncomfortable drafts within the house, as well as snow accumulation on the roof.   

Jerry suggested a detailed suitable solution for insulating the attic.  

Solution  

Once approval received from Mrs. Virginie, our team of workers, managed by Colin, got rid of the old insulation, and removed the mold. Then they sealed all the air leaks. Finally, they blew in 17" of cellulose fiber insulation. Virginie's attic is now perfectly insulated.

Challenge

Our client, living in Boisbriand, contacted us after a heavy snowstorm, mentioning that ice dams had formed on his roof, thus making the house uncomfortably cold. 

Our expert, Patrick examined the attic and noticed mold developing on the fiberglass insulation. He explained to M. Stéphane that this was one of the main sources of drafty areas within the house, leading to excessive use of heating/cooling systems to compensate.

Solution

Our team of workers threw away the old insulation. They used our Mold-X2 cleaner to eliminate mold stains and sealed all air leaks. Additionally, they blew in 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose fiber insulation allover the attic floor to achieve an optimal R60 thermal value. 

Problem

Ms. Monique contacted us to inspect her attic. Our expert, Alexandrine, visited Sainte-Agathe-Des-Monts to conduct a detailed and free inspection. 

While examining the attic, Alexandrine confirmed a lack of insulation and also identified several other complications: Mold and spider webs were present, attributed to moisture caused by bad attic insulation. This was one of the main causes of irritating drafts within the house, leading to excessive use of the heating/cooling system. 

Solution

After getting the approval from Ms. Monique, our team of workers, managed by Colin, began by removing the old insulation before eliminating mold stains. Next, they sealed all existing air leaks within the attic. Additionally, they used the thermal insulation SilverGlo to insulate attic access. Finally, they blew in 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose fiber insulation onto the attic floor to achieve an optimal thermal value of R60. The cellulose used is fire-resistant and inhibits mold formation.
