Our client in Mercier, QC contacted us about their damp and poorly insulated attic. After a free inspection, we discovered air leaks causing mold and overuse of heating and cooling systems. With the client's consent, we removed the old insulation, treated the mold, sealed the air leaks, and installed new insulation, greatly improving the attic's energy efficiency.
Problem
Lack of insulation in the attic. This makes the house less comfortable with higher electricity costs.
Solution
Remove the old fiberglass insulation to seal the air leaks with polyurethane foam and blow a little more than 16 in. of cellulose fibers to achieve an R60 value.
The problem
Mr. Benchimol's attic was very poorly insulated and the insulation had not been changed for years.
The solution
Redo the attic insulation, starting by removing the fiberglass to blow out 16 in. of cellulose. This will give an R60 thermal value to the attic.
Cellulose insulation is a highly effective material that will raise your insulation R-value to the recommended levels that your attic needs.
The problem
Ms. Doucet contacted Système Econergie, because she had problems with ice dams on her roof in winter. This is due to the poor insulation of the attic and unclogged air leaks.
The solution
To solve this problem, we removed our customer’s old insulation to seal all air leaks (seal joints, holes etc) with our expanded foam. And then we insulated the access hatch with our SilverGlo to finally blow just over 16”of cellulose fiber insulation all over the attic floor.
A client in Chateauguay was worried about his uninsulated kneewall space in the attic, which was contributing to high Hydro bills and inconsistent indoor temperatures. After our comprehensive renovation, including sealing air leaks and installing cellulose insulation and SilverGlo, the attic now has improved efficiency, comfort, and health benefits for the home.
