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

During our thorough inspection of the client’s attic in Saint-Hippolyte, Quebec, it became clear that the existing insulation was becoming more and more obsolete. Its color was getting darkened. Besides there mold spores forming within the wood. To effectively address these concerns, we recommended a multi-step approach: First, the old insulation, which had deteriorated over time and lost its insulating properties, needed to be completely removed. Insulation that has been exposed to excess moisture can no longer perform efficiently, and it can trap mold spores, making the situation worse. After removal, we performed an air sealing process using our ZypFoam. This involved identifying and sealing all air leaks in the attic, particularly around gaps, cracks, and other holes. This step is crucial in preventing future moisture buildup and ensuring that the new insulation would perform optimally. Following the air sealing, we removed all the mold spores using our excellent Mold-X2, ensuring the attic space was fully treated and ready for re-insulation. Finally, we blew in approximately 17 inches of cellulose insulation TruSoft, which is not only eco-friendly but highly effective in providing a thermal resistance value of R60. This level of insulation significantly improves the energy efficiency of the home, reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, while also creating a barrier against future moisture problems. With this solution, the client’s attic is now better protected against humidity, mold, and the home is more energy efficient.
