Problem

Mr. Chris contacted us due to several complications in his attic. Our specialist, Toufic, went to Terrasse-Vaudreuil for a free inspection. He identified several issues. The attic contained mold, considerable air leaks, and inadequate insulation. It was clear that these problems had a negative impact on residential comfort and energy consumption. Toufic developed a detailed action plan to address these issues.

Solution

We removed the existing insulation, which was in poor condition. Then, we meticulously sealed the air leaks through pipes, cables, recessed lighting, etc. We also eliminated all mold stains using our excellent product, Mold-X2. To ensure optimal insulation, we blew in our cellulose fiber insulation, known for its excellent thermal insulation properties.

The owner of a beautiful home in Saint-Paul-de-l'Île-aux-Noix, Quebec, was concerned about excessive humidity in his attic. In fact, he doubted the solution proposed by another contractor, simply involving adding more insulation over the existing one to improve the thermal value. Our specialist confirmed that without sealing existing air leaks, adding insulation would never solve the issues of drafts and attic humidity.

We therefore removed the damaged old insulation and carefully sealed all air leaks using our ZypFoam. Next, we blew in our TruSoft cellulose insulation, reaching an R60 thermal value for optimal performance. The homeowner noticed a significant improvement in comfort, with no more drafts and a healthy, secure attic.

Client was confused since he installed new insulation a couple of years ago, but is still experiencing uncomfortable air drafts within the house. Upon inspecting the attic, our specialist informed him that air sealing of all the leaks should have been done prior to installing the insulation. The perfect solution was to remove the existing insulation that started to show signs of deterioration due to the excess humidity. Then, a thorough inspection is done to identify an seal all the air leaks. After that, baffles were installed to regulate the ventilation within the attic, and approximately 17" of our TruSoft cellulose insulation were blown inside the attic to ensure a thermal value of R60. It is important to say that cellulose insulation can easily cover problematic spaces within the attic, and thus provide better insulating performance. 

During an attic insulation project in Hinchinbrooke, Quebec, our specialist detected high moisture within the attic, which had led to mold growth. We removed all the contaminated insulation, then thoroughly treated the area using our Mold-X2 product to eliminate any mold spores and prevent them from spreading again. Once the attic was properly sealed, we installed our TruSoft cellulose insulation to achieve an R60 thermal value. This intervention improved the home's energy efficiency and also regulated the moisture issues, thus creating a more comfortable and healthier living environment year-round.

A homeowner in Saint-Louis-De-Gonzague, Quebec, was really concerned because, despite having installed new insulation two years ago, he continued to feel uncomfortable drafts inside the house. During the attic inspection, our specialist explained that air sealing of the leaks should have been done thoroughly before installing the insulation. The optimal solution was to remove the existing insulation, which showed signs of deterioration due to excess humidity in the attic. A thorough inspection was then conducted to identify and seal all air leaks, including those around pipe holes and recessed lighting fixtures. Afterwards, baffles were installed to improve air circulation and ventilation in the attic, and approximately 17 inches of our TruSoft cellulose insulation were blown in to achieve an R60 thermal value. It is important to note that cellulose insulation is particularly effective at filling problematic spaces in attics. Additionally, it is designed to resist corrosion.
