Systèmes Éconergie Before & After Photos

During a recent attic insulation project, we discovered that the old insulation was concealing mold spores, which posed a serious health risk and contributed to poor air quality. Our team carefully removed the contaminated insulation and treated the area to eliminate all mold spores. After ensuring the attic was mold-free, we installed our TruSoft cellulose insulation, achieving a thermal value of R60. This not only improved the home's energy efficiency but also ensured a healthier living environment for the homeowners.

A homeowner reached out to us due to uncomfortable drafts and high energy bills, signaling a problem with their attic insulation. Upon inspection, we found the insulation was inadequate and discovered mold spores on the wooden beams and beneath the old insulation, caused by poor ventilation.

To resolve this, we removed the old insulation, treated the mold with Mold-X2, sealed air leaks with ZypFoam, and installed 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose insulation, achieving an R60 thermal value. The result transformed the attic into an energy-efficient space, protecting the home from drafts and moisture. The homeowner was very pleased with the improved comfort and energy savings.

The problem:

The attic of Ms. Samoluk's house has not been re-insulated for more than 10 years. She has noticed that her house was becoming less comfortable, due to coldness and mold increase which led to higher energy costs.

The solution:

To have a good attic insulation system, our client chose our complete attic insulation service. Our team removed the old insulating wool that was moldy in some places, sealed all the gaps with polyurethane foam and then insulated the recessed lights. Finally we blew 16" of cellulose fibers.

PROBLEM

Our client was concerned about their attic. The existing insulation in their attic was very old and worn out. Consequently, uncomfortable drafts had re-emerged throughout the house. As a result, energy consumption remained excessive, leading to higher Hydro bills. Our specialist noticed that there were still existing holes, allowing air to infiltrate.

SOLUTION

Our team of workers, managed by Colin, began by removing the existing insulation. A thorough examination around the entire attic was then conducted to ensure no existing air leaks were missed. Using our revolutionary product ZypFoam, we completed the sealing: air will no longer be able to escape into the attic. This will finally allow for the installation of our TruSoft cellulose insulation. We blew in approximately 17" to achieve the required R60 value.

Our client in Laval-Ouest 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.
