Attic Insulation & Air Sealing Services in Salaberry-de-valleyfield, QC

Our client, owning a house in Salaberry-De-Valleyfield, Quebec, contacted us as he was frustrated: He had already worked with two others contractors to insulate his attic in the past two years, only to face the same problem each time again after few months: Deteriorating insulation and a home that couldn't hold its warm temperature. Our specialist was able to identify the underlying issue and thus explained to our client that attic insulation isn’t just about adding more material. A well-insulated attic requires a comprehensive approach that starts with identifying and sealing all air leaks before insulating. In addition, and further to rotting insulation, poor attic insulation can cause serious consequences such ice dams in winter, high humidity and mold growth, increased energy bills, and uncomfortable indoor drafts.

As a solution, we began by removing all the existing insulation to inspect the attic structure and identify air leak sources through gaps around plumbing stacks, unsealed pot lights and attic hatches. We sealed every existing hole meticulously using our perfect ZypFoam to eliminate air escaping into the attic, which otherwise leads to condensation and mold growth. With a now airtight attic, we blew in our TruSoft cellulose insulation to reach R60 thermal value. Cellulose offers numerous advantages: it provides superior thermal performance and resistance to fire and mold. thanks to its eco-friendly and borate-treated makeup. After the job was completed, our client noticed an improvement in home comfort and energy efficiency, no more drafts, and no more overworked heating system.
