Before & After Photos

The attic of a house in Saint-Antoine-Sur-Richelieu, Quebec, had significant heat loss due to poor insulation and numerous air leaks. Our energy efficiency specialists completely removed the existing insulation, followed by careful sealing of air infiltration points.

We then blown in TrueSoft cellulose, known for its high R-value and eco-friendly qualities. The result was a permanent, airtight thermal insulation in the attic.

This product is crucial before insulating the attic. If you have recessed lights, these protective boxes prevent air warmed by the light from entering the attic through the cane and wire holes. Hot air impairs insulation in the attic. If air leaks are not sealed properly, you are not taking advantage of the maximum capacity that your insulation can offer you. Hiding the problem under insulation is not the same as fixing it. In addition, the majority of insulation products are not flame retardant. It is dangerous to put insulation directly on recessed lights.

Client contacted us as they were desperate for a permanent solution for their attic. After doing business with two other companies who simply installed extra insulation in their attic, the problem of energy efficiency persists. Our specialist explained that a perfect insulation consists of air sealing all the existing leaks within the attic, before installing a specific amount of insulation in order to reach a thermal value of R60. Attic insulation is a delicate project and not simply adding more insulation. After removing the old insulation and sealing and the air leaks, we blew in about 17 inches or our fireproof and mold proof cellulose insulation to the needed thermal value of R60. Client was finally satisfied with the result, as they regained confidence in their attic. 

A homeowner from Saint-Joseph-de-Sorel, Quebec, contacted us after the failure of his attic insulation attempt, despite a recent investment with another contractor. Our specialist explained that simply adding insulation without sealing air leaks does not solve issues related to heat loss and humidity. We therefore removed the old insulation, sealed meticulously all air leaks, and then installed TruSoft cellulose insulation up to an R60 thermal value. This solution reduces the risk of mold, improves residential comfort, and lowers energy costs.

Our client in Sorel-Tracy reached out since mold was starting to form in their attic. Mold formation in the attic can result in various problems, from health risks to structural damage. We removed the old insulation, air Sealed all sources of air leaks using our high-quality ZypFoam sealant, and installed the new cellulose insulation to reach R60The results were remarkable. The attic is now mold-free, energy-efficient, and comfortable.
