Systèmes Éconergie Before & After Photos

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.

Our client in Pierrefonds contacted us for an attic inspection and potential repairs before winter. Our specialist, Alexandrine, identified excessive moisture due to air leaks, which could lead to mold and reduced insulation effectiveness. Under foreman Colin's supervision, we removed the old insulation, sealed all air leaks with ZypFoam, and installed new TruSoft cellulose insulation, ensuring improved residential comfort and energy efficiency.

The problem

During winter, ice dams and huge icicles formed on the roof of Mrs. Forget's house. A lack of insulation in the attic was the cause of this problem. Even though Mrs. Forget had re-insulated her attic a few years ago, but the same problem had reappeared.

The solution

We removed the fiberglass insulation that was in the attic to seal all air leaks (joints and holes) with expanded foam. Subsequently, we added deflectors to allow better ventilation of the attic. Finally, we blew a little more than 16'' of cellulose fibers to reach an R-60 value.
