Challenge
Ou client contacted us because he sensed his attic was too cold. After carefully examining the attic, we found that it is moist and we discovered mold forming on the ceiling. We explained to our client that these issues were due to poor attic insulation. Thus, air sealing and new insulation is required.
Solution
We sealed all the air leaks the attic. In addition, we installed SilverGlo panels, serving as thermal insulation for the walls. Finally, we blew in about 17 inches of our TrueSoft cellulose fiber insulation throughout the attic to reach a thermal value of R60.
