Before & After Photos

Our client in Sainte-Anne-Des-Lacs, had concerns in his attic. In fact, he entered his attic and felt an uncomfortable heat. Additionally, he noticed a damaged section of his existing insulation. Our specialist explained client that this heat is one of the consequences of air leaks from multiple sources such as the space around the chimney, recessed lighting fixtures, and holes for wires and pipes. Similarly, air leaks will cause uncomfortable cold during the winter months. This results in irritating drafts within the house, necessitating excessive use of heating and cooling systems, which in turn will result in higher Hydro bills.

Our solution consisted in removing the old insulation, sealing all sources of air leaks, and installing the new insulation. 

Our client was very satisfied with the results, as well as the entire process followed by our team.

The problem

Mrs. Hanley had an attic that wasn't enough insulated. There were less than 10 in. of cellulose fibers in her attic which was equivalent to an R-38 value. The air circulation was almost non-existent which made the attic very humid.

The solution

Remove the cellulose, seal air leaks on the attic floor such as seams and holes with our polyurethane foam, add ventilation mats to improve air circulation, and then blow a little over 16" of cellulose fibers.

A homeowner in Saint-Stanislas-De-Kostka, Quebec, was worried about the situation within his attic. During our inspection, our specialist identified significant degradation of the existing insulation during to air leaks, compounded by the presence of mold spores within the wood structure. To rectify this, we first removed the compromised insulation, followed by sealing all air leaks using our ZypFoam solution to ensure an airtight barrier. After effectively eliminating mold spores with Mold-X2, we proceeded with the installation of 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose insulation, which provides an R60 thermal resistance value.

A homeowner contacted us regarding issues with cold air infiltration and elevated energy consumption, which indicated a deficiency in the attic’s thermal insulation. Upon thorough inspection, we identified the existing insulation as inadequate, and further detected mold growth on the wooden rafters and underneath the insulation layer, attributed to insufficient ventilation and moisture entrapment.

To address these deficiencies, we commenced by removing the compromised insulation to expose the full extent of air leakage points. We applied Mold-X2, a specialized mold treatment, to completely eradicate the spores from the wooden structure. Subsequently, we used ZypFoam to precisely seal all air leaks, effectively preventing future energy loss and air drafts. Finally, we installed 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose insulation, achieving a thermal resistance value of R60. This upgrade significantly enhanced the attic’s energy efficiency, providing improved thermal regulation and moisture protection. The homeowner expressed satisfaction with the resulting increase in home comfort and the anticipated reduction in energy expenses.

The problem

Mr. Cadieux contacted Systèmes Éconergie because he had no insulation in his attic. He also felt a difference in the temperature of the rooms in the house, some were colder and some were warmer, which made his house feel uncomfortable.

The solution

Remove the fiberglass insulation, seal all air leaks on the attic floor with expanded foam, add vents for better ventilation and blow out just over 16” of cellulose fibers.
