Systèmes Éconergie Before & After Photos

During an attic insulation project in Hinchinbrooke, Quebec, our specialist detected high moisture within the attic, which had led to mold growth. We removed all the contaminated insulation, then thoroughly treated the area using our Mold-X2 product to eliminate any mold spores and prevent them from spreading again. Once the attic was properly sealed, we installed our TruSoft cellulose insulation to achieve an R60 thermal value. This intervention improved the home's energy efficiency and also regulated the moisture issues, thus creating a more comfortable and healthier living environment year-round.

A homeowner in Saint-Louis-De-Gonzague, Quebec, was really concerned because, despite having installed new insulation two years ago, he continued to feel uncomfortable drafts inside the house. During the attic inspection, our specialist explained that air sealing of the leaks should have been done thoroughly before installing the insulation. The optimal solution was to remove the existing insulation, which showed signs of deterioration due to excess humidity in the attic. A thorough inspection was then conducted to identify and seal all air leaks, including those around pipe holes and recessed lighting fixtures. Afterwards, baffles were installed to improve air circulation and ventilation in the attic, and approximately 17 inches of our TruSoft cellulose insulation were blown in to achieve an R60 thermal value. It is important to note that cellulose insulation is particularly effective at filling problematic spaces in attics. Additionally, it is designed to resist corrosion.

A homeowner in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Quebec was frustrated after hiring other contractors to insulate his attic, without successful results. The insulation was always quickly deteriorating, causing humidity, drafts, mold, and high Hydro bills.

Our team removed the old insulation, sealed all air leaks with our ZypFoam spray foam, then blew in TruSoft cellulose insulation up to reach the thermal R-value of 60.

The problem: This client from Saint-Sauveur was feeling that his rooms on the top floor were pretty cold during the winter and really hot during the summer. Plus, on his roof, there was a good amount of ice. So, the client knew there was a problem and he decided to contact us. After this, one of our certified comfort specialists from System Econergie went to his home to evaluate the situation. After the inspection, our specialist found two majors problems in the client attic. First, there was some mold on some joists and the existing fiberglass was old he didn't have enough. 

The solution: We have started by removing the mold that we found with our mold remover Mold-X2. After this being done, we had removed all of the old fiberglass and replaced it with our TruSoft cellulose fiber. We have put over 16 inches to reach an R60 value. After our intervention, this client from Saint-Sauveur has now a well-isolated attic, more comfortable rooms, and a reduced electricity bill regarding his heating and climatization fees. 

Our client in Saint-Lazare, Quebec, contacted us about concerns with their attic's condition before winter. After inspecting the attic, we discovered excessive humidity and air leaks, which were compromising the home’s energy efficiency and increasing heating costs. We addressed the issue by removing the old insulation, sealing air leaks, and installing TruSoft cellulose insulation to ensure optimal energy efficiency and protection against moisture.
