Attic Insulation & Air Sealing Services in Saint-eustache, QC

A homeowner in Saint-Eustache, Quebec, contacted us via social media as he had concerns within their attic. They had noticed excessive humidity and a lingering odor indicating the possible presence of mold spores within the attic. These were common signs of inadequate attic insulation and uncontrolled air leaks. These issues were contributing to significant heat loss, driving up Hydro bills as HVAC systems should be excessively used to compensate the air drafts.

After assessing the situation, our team scheduled a thorough attic inspection with one of our insulation specialists. The inspection confirmed widespread air leakage and poor insulation, prompting a customized solution. Once the homeowner approved, our experienced foreman and team immediately began the attic upgrade process:

Old insulation removal: This crucial step exposed hidden air leaks and ensured that any mold spores were effectively eliminated by our Mold X2, setting the stage for a proper attic sealing.

Sealing air leaks: Using ZypFoam expanding foam, we meticulously sealed all identified air infiltration points. This process effectively stopped warm air from escaping and cold air from entering.

Installing TruSoft cellulose insulation: To maximize the attic's energy efficiency, we applied about 17-inch layer of TruSoft cellulose insulation, providing an R60 thermal value. This high-quality insulation not only delivers superior thermal resistance but is also fire-resistant and mold-resistant, ensuring long-term protection for the attic space.

As winter approached, a homeowner in Saint-Eustache, Quebec, reached out with concerns about the condition of their attic. They had observed excessive humidity and a persistent odor, both indicators commonly associated with uncontrolled air leaks and insufficient insulation. These issues were causing significant heat loss, leading to higher heating expenses and increasing the risk of moisture accumulation and mold growth, which could compromise both the home's structural integrity and indoor air quality.

Following a detailed consultation, our team scheduled an inspection with one of our specialists, who provided a customized solution:

Removal of old insulation: This step exposed hidden air leaks and ensured no mold spores remained.

Air sealing: Using ZypFoam expanding spray, we meticulously sealed all identified points of infiltration.

Installation of TruSoft cellulose insulation: A 16-inch layer of TruSoft cellulose, delivering an R60 thermal value, was evenly applied to establish a durable thermal barrier.

These upgrades significantly improved the attic's energy efficiency, reduced heating costs, and provided the homeowner with peace of mind.

Recently, a homeowner contacted us about issues with uncomfortable drafts and high energy bills, which pointed to a problem with their attic insulation. Upon inspection, our  specialist found that the existing insulation was inadequate and failing to provide proper thermal protection. In addition, we discovered mold spores both on the wooden beams and beneath the old insulation, indicating poor ventilation and trapped moisture.

To resolve these issues, our team began by removing all the old insulation, which allowed us to uncover multiple air leaks throughout the attic. Using our Mold-X2 treatment, we thoroughly eliminated all traces of mold from the wood, ensuring a clean and safe environment. Next, we used ZypFoam to expertly seal every air leak, preventing future drafts and energy loss.

Finally, we installed around 17 inches of our TruSoft cellulose insulation, bringing the attic to an impressive thermal value of R60. This significant upgrade transformed the attic into a highly efficient space, ensuring the home is now well-insulated and protected from uncomfortable drafts, while also saving on energy costs.

The homeowner was thrilled with the results, as their attic now provides superior protection against temperature fluctuations and moisture problems.
