Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

This attic had an inadequate amount of insulation, and the client preferred to call in a professional to ensure an effective solution.Our team of workers removed the existing insulation to seal all the holes where air was escaping. Additionally, we blew about 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose fiber insulation onto the attic floor to achieve an optimal thermal value of R60.

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.

In Howick, a homeowner was dealing with an inefficient, damp attic that was causing drafts, heat loss, and high energy bills. To fix this, Systèmes Éconergie removed the old insulation, completely caulked the attic to seal all leaks, and installed TiteShell protection boxes around the light fixtures to eliminate any thermal bridges. The final step was to blow in our TruSoft cellulose insulation, which offers high R-value, uniform coverage, and excellent moisture resistance, transforming the attic into an energy-efficient, well-ventilated, and comfortable space all year round.

To solve this problem, our team began by removing all the old insulation. Then we sealed all the places such as gaps, wiring holes, hunts and the top of the walls to block any air leaks. It was also necessary to encapsulate the ducts with our Tight 'n True high R-value spray foam system. Finally, we insulate the entire space with TruSoft insufflated cellulose. All these products allow the attic to be completely insulated by blocking all air leaks and controlling the energy released in your home.
