Problem
1- The existing insulation is not in adequate quantity. In other words, the amount of insulation installed in the attic is not sufficient to achieve a thermal value of R60 (the recommended value for most regions in Quebec).
2- Lifting the existing insulation, our specialist noticed that there were still existing holes allowing air to infiltrate. This was concerning, as the presence of air leaks in the attic diminishes the effectiveness of the insulation.
Solution
1- We removed the existing insulation to identify and seal all sources of air leaks.
2- A thorough examination was then conducted to ensure no existing holes were overlooked. Using our revolutionary product, ZypFoam, we completed the sealing process, preventing air from escaping into the attic.
3- Install our TruSoft cellulose insulation. We blew approximately 17 inches to achieve the required R60 value.
