Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

Our client in Laval-Ouest 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

Mr. Zerczy had only 5 to 10 inches of fiberglass insulation in his attic. The lack of insulation made his house very uncomfortable and he had noticed that the energy costs were getting very high.

The solution:

Remove the fiberglass insulation in order to seal all air leaks on the attic floor such as joints, holes, and recessed. Install vents all along the soffits to ensure good ventilation of the attic and prevent air from coming into contact with the insulation and then blow a little more than 16 in cellulose fibers to obtain an R-60 value.

Problem:

Mr. Ouellette contacted Systèmes Éconergie because his attic was very damp and mold was growing. He wanted to have it checked by a specialist.

Solution:

Our team cleaned the surfaces with our MoldX2 product to remove the mold, added ventilation mats in the soffits to improve air circulation and avoid the humidity and then blew 16 in. of cellulose fibers.

The problem: This client from Saint-Sauveur was feeling that his rooms on the top floor were pretty cold during the winter and really hot during the summer. Plus, on his roof, there was a good amount of ice. So, the client knew there was a problem and he decided to contact us. After this, one of our certified comfort specialists from System Econergie went to his home to evaluate the situation. After the inspection, our specialist found two majors problems in the client attic. First, there was some mold on some joists and the existing fiberglass was old he didn't have enough. 

The solution: We have started by removing the mold that we found with our mold remover Mold-X2. After this being done, we had removed all of the old fiberglass and replaced it with our TruSoft cellulose fiber. We have put over 16 inches to reach an R60 value. After our intervention, this client from Saint-Sauveur has now a well-isolated attic, more comfortable rooms, and a reduced electricity bill regarding his heating and climatization fees. 

Our client in Sainte-Anne-Des-Lacs, had concerns in his attic. In fact, he entered his attic and felt an uncomfortable heat. Additionally, he noticed a damaged section of his existing insulation. Our specialist explained client that this heat is one of the consequences of air leaks from multiple sources such as the space around the chimney, recessed lighting fixtures, and holes for wires and pipes. Similarly, air leaks will cause uncomfortable cold during the winter months. This results in irritating drafts within the house, necessitating excessive use of heating and cooling systems, which in turn will result in higher Hydro bills.

Our solution consisted in removing the old insulation, sealing all sources of air leaks, and installing the new insulation. 

Our client was very satisfied with the results, as well as the entire process followed by our team.
