Attic Insulation & Air Sealing Services in L'ile-bizard, QC

Our client, residing in L'Île Bizard, called us to come and inspect their attic. Winter is almost over. However, there has been excess air drafts in their house, which was uncomfortable. Additionally, the Hydro bills were high, especially during the months of December, January, and February due to the overuse of heating systems to compensate for the cold inside. Consequently, they do not want to repeat the same scenario next winter.

During our free inspection, our specialist Dan examined the attic. He immediately noticed the inadequate amount of insulation. Furthermore, upon seeing the ventilation ducts, Dan identified a sealing issue: He explained to our client that the presence of air leaks in the attic would work against the insulation, thus reducing its effectiveness. The solution is to seal all sources of air leaks before adding insulation to achieve a thermal value of R60.

After signing the contract, our team of workers, led by Colin, began by removing the old insulation. This step is important because many holes allowing air to escape may be hidden underneath. They then conducted an extremely detailed inspection to identify, without exception, all sources of air leaks. Our excellent product ZypFoam is used to seal air leaks. As for the attic access hatch, it is the largest existing hole in the attic that can allow air to escape, hence the importance of insulating it very well. For this purpose, we used our revolutionary thermal insulation, SilverGlo. Finally, we blew in approximately 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose fiber insulation on the attic floor to achieve an optimal thermal value of R60. The cellulose used is fire-resistant as well as resistant to mold formation.
