Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

The problem

Mr. Cadieux contacted Systèmes Éconergie because he had no insulation in his attic. He also felt a difference in the temperature of the rooms in the house, some were colder and some were warmer, which made his house feel uncomfortable.

The solution

Remove the fiberglass insulation, seal all air leaks on the attic floor with expanded foam, add vents for better ventilation and blow out just over 16” of cellulose fibers.

Our client from Côte Saint-Luc contacted us due to a humid attic with an unpleasant odor and inconsistent temperatures. After identifying air leaks and mold issues during a free inspection, we carried out renovations that included removing old insulation, sealing air leaks with ZypFoam, and installing mold-resistant TruSoft cellulose insulation. The result was a well-insulated attic with reduced energy consumption and eliminated moisture issues, leaving the client very satisfied.

Our client, residing in Sainte-Therese, contacted us due to concerns in their attic. Despite the recent installation of fiberglass insulation, they were still experiencing the same negative effects.

Our specialist visited to inspect the attic and immediately noticed excess moisture. Additionally, mold was observed on the ceiling. The specialist explained that simply installing insulation throughout the attic is not enough. Air sealing is a crucial step that should not be overlooked. Moreover, the amount of insulation installed should achieve an R-value of R60.

Problem

Our client, a resident of Blainville, contacted us to inspect his attic. Despite having recently done the insulation, he still feels that the attic is humid. Additionally, the air drafts within the house has not completely disappeared. During her detailed inspection, our specialist, Fanny, pointed out the importance of adhering to the recommended amount of insulation to achieve the appropriate thermal value. The suggested value for most regions in Quebec is R60. However, the existing insulation provides only a value of R30.

Solution

We removed the existing insulation to ensure there is no air leakage underneath. Subsequently, we blew in our excellent cellulose insulation to achieve the thermal value of R60. It is important to note that our insulation is fire-resistant, mold-resistant, and eco-friendly.
