Before & After Photos

A client in Chateauguay was worried about his uninsulated kneewall space in the attic, which was contributing to high Hydro bills and inconsistent indoor temperatures. After our comprehensive renovation, including sealing air leaks and installing cellulose insulation and SilverGlo, the attic now has improved efficiency, comfort, and health benefits for the home.

A homeowner from Saint-Lin-Laurentides, Quebec, reached out to us regarding excessive humidity and air leaks in their attic, which posed energy efficiency risks and potential mold growth. After an inspection by our specialist, we removed the old insulation, sealed the air leaks with ZypFoam, and installed 16 inches of TruSoft cellulose insulation with an R60 value. These improvements significantly enhanced the attic's energy efficiency, ensuring better heat retention and preventing future moisture-related issues.

The problem : 

The client wanted to change her attic insulation because it was old and it wasn't insulated properly. And when we were doing our inspection, we found many cracks that leaked air from the attic.

The solution : 

With the help of our certified attic insulation specialist, we established a plan and found a solution for the client's needs.

We started by removing all the old isolation. We then fixed all the cracks with our Zyp foam in order to air seal which is imperative to do before any insulation work. We then insulated all the attic with our cellulose fiber to get an R60 insulation value.

Now, this client has a better isolated attic with a much higher energy efficiency, which will help them save money and enjoy a more comfortable home.

Mr. Tang wanted to re-insulate his attic because he had problems with ice damming on his roof in winter. In addition, he felt drafts of cool air in the rooms upstairs. This was due to poor insulation in his attic.

Our solution to our client's problem was to first remove the old fiberglass insulation in order to seal all the air leaks that were present on the attic surface (joints, holes, etc.). Then we installed vents on each end of the attic to finally blow out just over 16” of cellulose fibers.

The problem

Mr. Omar had several problems with his attic:

- Lack of insulation

- Insulation in the soffits prevents air circulation in the attic

- Ice dam on the roof in winter

- Condensation on the ceiling on the upper floor.

The solution:

Remove the wool to seal all air leaks on the attic floor such as joints, holes, and recessed. Install vents throughout the soffits to allow airflow into the attic. Insulate the chimney and then blow out just over 16” of cellulose fiber to achieve an R-60 value.
