A homeowner from Saint-Joseph-de-Sorel, Quebec, contacted us after the failure of his attic insulation attempt, despite a recent investment with another contractor. Our specialist explained that simply adding insulation without sealing air leaks does not solve issues related to heat loss and humidity. We therefore removed the old insulation, sealed meticulously all air leaks, and then installed TruSoft cellulose insulation up to an R60 thermal value. This solution reduces the risk of mold, improves residential comfort, and lowers energy costs.
Our client in Sorel-Tracy reached out since mold was starting to form in their attic. Mold formation in the attic can result in various problems, from health risks to structural damage. We removed the old insulation, air Sealed all sources of air leaks using our high-quality ZypFoam sealant, and installed the new cellulose insulation to reach R60The results were remarkable. The attic is now mold-free, energy-efficient, and comfortable.
Our client in Saint-Hyacinthe had concerns about their attic. They entered their attic and felt an uncomfortable heat. Additionally, they noticed a damaged section of their existing insulation. Our specialist explained to the client that this heat is one of the consequences of air leaks from multiple sources, such as recessed lighting and holes for wires and pipes. Similarly, these air leaks will cause uncomfortable cold during the winter months. Moreover, the amount of existing insulation was inadequate. The result is an increase in Hydro bills due to the overuse of heating and cooling systems.
Our solution included the removal of the old insulation, sealing all sources of air leaks, and installing new insulation.
Our client was very satisfied with the results, as well as the entire process followed by our team.
A client contacted us after he removed the old existing insulation himself. He was asking us only to put fresh new insulation. As the attic was empty, we noticed the existence of mold spores, as well as some sources of air leaks. Thus, prior to blowing in our cellulose insulation, we managed to seal all the air leaks and remove all the mold spores before putting around 17 inches of our TruSoft cellulose insulation to reach the thermal value of R60. As a result, the attic was now very well insulated, which will increase the energy efficiency and the residential confort of the house.
During a recent attic insulation project in Saint-Nazaire-D'acton, Québec, the homeowner who was still experiencing discomfort in his home despite having both fiberglass and cellulose insulation in the attic. Upon inspection, we explained that the amount of insulation present was still not sufficient to achieve the recommended thermal resistance of R60. Additionally, air leaks were still present beneath the existing layers, compromising the insulation’s effectiveness. To provide a permanent solution to this issue, we removed all existing insulation, thoroughly sealed every air leak, and then installed our high-performance TruSoft cellulose insulation in the adequate quantity to reach an R60 value, ensuring optimal comfort and energy efficiency.
