Our client in Boloeil had concerns about their attic. During the inspection, our specialist noticed excessive and uncomfortable heat, as well as damage to the existing insulation.
The specialist identified that this overheating was primarily due to air leaks coming from various sources, including around the chimney, recessed lighting, and through cable and pipe passages. These same air leaks also cause significant heat loss, resulting in a drop in indoor temperature during winter. This phenomenon increases the demand on heating and cooling systems, leading to higher energy costs.
Our solution involved removing the damaged insulation, thoroughly sealing all air leakage points, and installing new, high-performance insulation.
The client expressed complete satisfaction with the results, as well as with the professionalism of our team throughout the process.
In Otterburn Park, a client contacted us as he facing problems within his attic. In fact, he had fiberglass placed within his attic, but he was not getting the needed results. Upon inspection, our specialist explained that the fiberglass were not well placed: The problematic area were not covered, which was affecting the insulation's performance. In addition, the quantity of fiberglass installed was not adequate to reach the thermal value of R60.
As a solution, we removed the existing insulation, which started to rot due to excess moisture. Then, we made sure all the air leaks were sealed in order to maximize the insulation's performance. And lastly, we blew in about 17 inches of our TruSoft cellulose insulation to reach the suitable thermal value.
