Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

Our client had not inspected their attic for a long time and was sure there were problems. Our specialist explained to the client that this was a consequence of air leaks from multiple sources, such as the space around the chimney, recessed lighting fixtures, and holes for wires and pipes. The result was an annoying draft within the house.

We removed the old insulation and sealed all the air leaks. Then, we blew our TruSoft cellulose insulation throughout the attic to achieve an R60 thermal value.

A homeowner contacted us regarding issues with cold air infiltration and elevated energy consumption, which indicated a deficiency in the attic’s thermal insulation. Upon thorough inspection, we identified the existing insulation as inadequate, and further detected mold growth on the wooden rafters and underneath the insulation layer, attributed to insufficient ventilation and moisture entrapment.

To address these deficiencies, we commenced by removing the compromised insulation to expose the full extent of air leakage points. We applied Mold-X2, a specialized mold treatment, to completely eradicate the spores from the wooden structure. Subsequently, we used ZypFoam to precisely seal all air leaks, effectively preventing future energy loss and air drafts. Finally, we installed 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose insulation, achieving a thermal resistance value of R60. This upgrade significantly enhanced the attic’s energy efficiency, providing improved thermal regulation and moisture protection. The homeowner expressed satisfaction with the resulting increase in home comfort and the anticipated reduction in energy expenses.

Our client in Mercier, QC contacted us about their damp and poorly insulated attic. After a free inspection, we discovered air leaks causing mold and overuse of heating and cooling systems. With the client's consent, we removed the old insulation, treated the mold, sealed the air leaks, and installed new insulation, greatly improving the attic's energy efficiency.

The problem: When we've inspected this attic. Jerry our home comfort specialist found that this attic has not enough fiberglass and they were quite a bit of condensation on the ceiling roof. The client has noticed this, too, and wanted to change this factor. 

The solution: To resolve this problem, we have removed all the old fiberglass and seal off all the leaking cracks with our expendable foam named Zypfoam. This helps reduces by a lot the risk of air leaking. After, we blew 16 inches of our TruSoft cellulose to achieve R60 of value. 

Our client's attic in Montebello had become a real challenge due to persistent moisture, aging and worn insulation, and cold air infiltration through ducts and vents. Thanks to the expertise of Systèmes Éconergie, we renovated this space methodically and efficiently. We removed the old compacted insulation, cleaned and treated all traces of mold, then applied high-performance blown insulation with Cellulose TrueSoft to ensure high and durable thermal insulation (R-60). Careful caulking of critical areas, such as recessed lighting fixtures, chimneys, and ducts, now ensures excellent airtightness, limiting heat loss and drafts. We also added radiant barriers to improve comfort in all seasons and installed adequate ventilation to remove moisture and prevent condensation. The result is a healthy, high-performance, comfortable, and energy-efficient attic that offers greater comfort, better indoor air quality, and real energy savings for the home.
