Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Saint-Basile-Le-Grand contacted us because they noticed their house, especially the upper floor, uncomfortable throughout the whole year: too hot in the summer, and freezing in the winter, and their energy consumption (heating and cooling) were high. During the inspection, our specialist found that the attic lacked sufficient insulation, which clearly explained their concerns. Our certified specialist was able to offer an effective solution: Remove the existing insulation, Seal all air leaks, and Blow in 17 inches of cellulose, achieving an R60 thermal value. Thanks to this upgrade, the homeowner now enjoys a well-insulated attic, improved comfort throughout the entire home, and reduced Hydro bills.

The problem

Water infiltration in the attic coming from the roof.

Mr. Thibeault decides to fix the roof and reinsulate the attic of his house.

The solution

Our team of attic insulation experts removed the old fiberglass insulation which was in the attic to clog the air leaks on the attic floor as well as the electrical boxes of the lighting. Then, they blew 16 in’ cellulose to properly insulate the attic and offer a maximum comfort to our client.

An attic in Varennes was full of mold spores. Our specialist explained that mold is the result of excess humidity in the attic. This excess humidity is also the result of bad attic insulation. In fact the existing insulation is not sufficient inside the attic, and in addition, there were some air leaks in the attic which were deteriorating the attic's performance.

As a remedy, we removed the existing insulation, before using our excellent Mold-X2 to remove all the mold spores inside the attic. We also used our ZypFoam to seal all the air leaks that were once reducing the insulation's performance. Lastly, we blew in approximatively 17 inches of our TruSoft cellulose insulation.  

Our client, residing in Repentigny, was confused: Despite recently installing fiberglass insulation, he stills feels the same bad effects. 

Thus, our specialist Alexandrine visited our client to inspect the attic. She directly sensed the excess moisture, and even noticed some mold on the ceiling. Alexandrine explained that simply putting insulation all the over the attic is not sufficient. Air sealing is a main step that should not be missed. In addition, the amount of installed insulation should help reach a thermal value of R60. 

In Otterburn Park, a client contacted us as he facing problems within his attic. In fact, he had fiberglass placed within his attic, but he was not getting the needed results. Upon inspection, our specialist explained that the fiberglass were not well placed: The problematic area were not covered, which was affecting the insulation's performance. In addition, the quantity of fiberglass installed was not adequate to reach the thermal value of R60. 

As a solution, we removed the existing insulation, which started to rot due to excess moisture. Then, we made sure all the air leaks were sealed in order to maximize the insulation's performance. And lastly, we blew in about 17 inches of our TruSoft cellulose insulation to reach the suitable thermal value.
