Old insulation
There was only 6” thick wool mat in the attic. This is far from sufficient for the climate of Quebec.
Mold growth
Presence of humidity and mold under the mats. This is caused by air leaks and high humidity.
There were no vents in the attic soffits.
The vents will allow good air circulation in the attic and avoid excess humidity and condensation.
Vents installation
Our team installed the vents throughout the attic soffits to allow natural air circulation.
Sealing the joints
Our team seals the joints and all the holes in the attic floor to reduce air leaks.
Sealing the hatch
It is important to insulate the attic hatch as it represents an air leak.
Cellulose Blowing
Our team blew 16" of cellulose into the attic to provide maximum comfort and energy savings for our client.
