Attic Insulation Photo Album: A frost problem in the attic fixed in Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Qc

When you have problems with frost, it's often because the warm and humid air rises in the attic and condenses when it comes into contact with the cold air that is seeping in from the outside. This is most likely due to poor insulation and poor attic caulking. It is important to have the attic inspected properly, as there are several dozen sources of problems. Our attic insulation experts are trained to inspect the attic thoroughly and notice any details that may be problematic in the future. Here is how we sealed the gaps and insulated this attic using TruSoft cellulose insulation.

Attic inspection

Our experts use their tools to detect where heat leaks are coming from.

Pipe and chimney

The space around the tuayux is a common source of energy loss. The air you heat rises to the attic and causes several problems.

Condensation and presence of water

Our insulation expert will detect traces of water and humidity under the insulation caused by poor caulking.

Insulate the access hatch

The access hatch, when poorly insulated, lets a lot of hot air into the attic, which is one of the sources of this client's icing problem.

Path for bathroom ventilation

The bathroom ventilation must be redirected to the soffits otherwise the humid air will adversely affect the air quality in the attic.

Light and ceiling light

If you have lights embedded in the ceiling, the warm air given off by the light enters through the cane and exits into the attic. Isolating the lights eliminates this problem and protects you from the risk of fire.
