Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

Our client, residing in Sainte-Therese, contacted us due to concerns in their attic. Despite the recent installation of fiberglass insulation, they were still experiencing the same negative effects.

Our specialist visited to inspect the attic and immediately noticed excess moisture. Additionally, mold was observed on the ceiling. The specialist explained that simply installing insulation throughout the attic is not enough. Air sealing is a crucial step that should not be overlooked. Moreover, the amount of insulation installed should achieve an R-value of R60.

The problem

The attic insulation of Mrs. Negret's house was insufficient. There was less than 10” of fiberglass mat in some places. This caused ice dams on her roof in winter and made her house uncomfortable.

The solution

We have sealed all air leaks such as joints, electrical wire holes. Then, we isolated the recessed lights by adding a box to each of them and sealing around the box. We insulated the access hatch with SilverGlo and finally blew out just over 16” of cellulose fibers. 

The problem

Bad insulation of the attic of Mrs. Erst's house’ Less than 10 in’ of fiberglass as insulation’.

The solution

Remove fiberglass insulation, seal air leaks with our expanded polyurethane foam and blow 16” of cellulose fibers to achieve an R-60 value.

Problem

Lack of insulation in the attic. Our client only had 6” thick wool mats.

Solution

In order to provide a more comfortable home for our client, we removed the old insulation to seal all the air leaks present on the attic floor. And then,  blew in 16 in. of cellulose.

Problem

Mr. Grushka had high heating and cooling costs. His house has become less comfortable.

Solution

Re-insulate the attic and make it more airtight.

Our team removed the old fiberglass insulation to seal all air leaks such as the joints between the boards and the chimney and then the holes. Then we blew 16” of cellulose fibers for a thermal value of R60.
