Attic Insulation in Cote Saint-Luc

Problem

Mr. Matt contacted us for inspecting his attic. Our specialist, Jean-Philippe, visited the house in Cote Saint-Luc for a free inspection. The attic was clean and very well-organized, and there was no mold. However, the attic was somewhat humid, and there were several sources of unsealed air leaks. Jean-Philippe explained that these air leaks would make the attic increasingly humid, resulting in mold formation and the deterioration of the existing fiberglass insulation.

Solution

We removed the existing insulation to seal all sources of air leaks such as pipes, cables, the access hatch, recessed lights... This step is quite important: Air escaping into the insulation reduces its effectiveness. Then, we replaced the insulation since it was still in good condition, and we blew in our cellulose fiber insulation to ensure an R60 thermal value.
