Problem
Mr. Pradip had problems with accumulation of ice on his roof, and the lower part of his house was drafty and uncomfortable After careful inspection of the attic, our specialist Houssem identified poor air sealing, the presence of mold, and a lack of insulation. Houssem then proposed appropriate solutions to stop the air leaks and efficiently insulate the attic.
Solution
Our team, led by Colin, removed the old insulation in order to seal all remaining air leaks through the joints and other holes. Next, the mold was neutralized using our excellent products, moldX2 Cleaner and moldX2 Botanical. Finally, our experts blew in 17 inches of our cellulose fiber insulation to achieve an R60 thermal value.
The problem
The rooms in Mr. Donovan's house were uncomfortable. They were often either too hot or too cold. He also had too high heating and cooling costs. These problems are due to poor attic insulation and as a matter of fact, he only had 8 ‘’ of blown wool in his attic.
The solution
To improve the comfort of our client's home as well as reduce their energy costs, we removed the old fiberglass insulation to seal all air leaks on the attic floor, insulated the air ducts to avoid losses, and blew just over 16’’ of cellulose fibers.
Challenge
Mr. Juan, a resident of Saint-Bruno, contacted us following complications in his attic. Our specialist Patrick, visited for a free, detailed inspection. While examining the attic, Patrick identified several air leaks, as well as a lack of insulation. He explained to Mr. Juan that this could be the source of uncomfortable drafts within the house. Excessive use of heating/air-conditioning systems to neutralize the drafts will result in increasing the Hydro bill. Patrick then proposed suitable Attic insulation solutions.
Solution
Our team of experienced workers removed the old and aged insulation. Then, they sealed all existing air leaks via cables, pipes and flushes, including the attic hatch, which was insulated using our SilverGlo thermal insulation.
Finally, our TruSoft cellulose fiber insulation was blown throughout the attic to achieve a thermal value of R60.
Problem
Mrs. Virginie contacted us to inspect the attic of her house in Bois-Des-Filion.
Our specialist, Jerry, examined the attic thoroughly. He noticed many air leaks and mold on the ceiling. In addition, there was a lack of insulation. This was the source of uncomfortable drafts within the house, as well as snow accumulation on the roof.
Jerry suggested a detailed suitable solution for insulating the attic.
Solution
Once approval received from Mrs. Virginie, our team of workers, managed by Colin, got rid of the old insulation, and removed the mold. Then they sealed all the air leaks. Finally, they blew in 17" of cellulose fiber insulation. Virginie's attic is now perfectly insulated.
Challenge
Our client, living in Boisbriand, contacted us after a heavy snowstorm, mentioning that ice dams had formed on his roof, thus making the house uncomfortably cold.
Our expert, Patrick examined the attic and noticed mold developing on the fiberglass insulation. He explained to M. Stéphane that this was one of the main sources of drafty areas within the house, leading to excessive use of heating/cooling systems to compensate.
Solution
Our team of workers threw away the old insulation. They used our Mold-X2 cleaner to eliminate mold stains and sealed all air leaks. Additionally, they blew in 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose fiber insulation allover the attic floor to achieve an optimal R60 thermal value.
