Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

The problem

Every winter Mrs. Cherbina had problems with ice dams on the roof of her house. The cause of this problem is the lack of insulation in the attic.

The solution

We removed the old insulation which was made from fiberglass, in order to plug any air leaks on the attic floor with our expanded foam, added baffles in the soffits and then blown a little over 16 '' from our cellulose fiber insulation to achieve an R-60 value.

Problem

Mr. John noticed that some of the upstairs bedrooms were colder than the other rooms. So while our specialist was checking up his place, he had noticed mold problems rot, lack of ventilation, several air leaks on the floor and poor insulation.

Solution

We have removed the fiberglass insulation to seal all air leaks on the attic floor, added ventilation mats in the soffits, insulated the attic access hatch and then blew 17 inches of cellulose.

Facing a humid and moldy attic, the homeowner of a house in Pointe-Calumet contacted us, seeking some help with regards to attic insulation. After careful inspection, our specialist noticed several air leaks still existing within the attic, that weakened the existing insulation's performance, increased moisture levels, and with time caused the developments of some mold spores on the wood.

To solve the issue once and for all, we started by removing the old insulation in order to identify and seal all the sources of air leaks within the attic. We then used our excellent Mold-X2 to remove all the mold spores and prevent them from reappearing. Finally, we blew in a specific quantity of our Trusoft Cellulose Insulation to reach a thermal value of R60. The transformation was radical and our client was satisfied with the results as well as with our professional service. 

Attic insulation is an important step in solving problems of home comfort, health and wasted energy (and money). This client contacted us because the temperatures in the different rooms fluctuated a lot. In addition, the old insulation became dirty and unhealthy and accumulated dust, dirt and other unwanted material.

To solve this problem, our team began by removing all the old insulation. Then we sealed all the places such as gaps, wiring holes, hunts and the top of the walls to block any air leaks. It was also necessary to encapsulate the ducts with our Tight 'n True high R-value spray foam system. Finally, we insulate the entire space with TruSoft insufflated cellulose. All these products allow the attic to be completely insulated by blocking all air leaks and controlling the energy released in your home.

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.
