The problem

Every winter Mrs. Cherbina had problems with ice dams on the roof of her house. The cause of this problem is the lack of insulation in the attic.

The solution

We removed the old insulation which was made from fiberglass, in order to plug any air leaks on the attic floor with our expanded foam, added baffles in the soffits and then blown a little over 16 '' from our cellulose fiber insulation to achieve an R-60 value.

When mold started to form in his attic, our client contacted us as he was concerned about the potential health risks and damage to his home. We safely removed the old, rotting insulation before neutralizing all the mold spores present in the attic. Next, we sealed all identified air leaks, using our high-quality ZypFoam to ensure a perfect seal. Finally, we installed the new cellulose insulation, ensuring it reached the desired R60 thermal value. This high level of insulation would significantly improve the attic’s thermal performance.

Problem

Mr. John noticed that some of the upstairs bedrooms were colder than the other rooms. So while our specialist was checking up his place, he had noticed mold problems rot, lack of ventilation, several air leaks on the floor and poor insulation.

Solution

We have removed the fiberglass insulation to seal all air leaks on the attic floor, added ventilation mats in the soffits, insulated the attic access hatch and then blew 17 inches of cellulose.

A homeowner in Sainte-Marthe-Sur-Le-Lac, Quebec, contacted for an attic inspection after witnessing some black stains on the wooden ceiling structure. Upon conducting a detailed evaluation, our specialist identified the presence of mold, indicative of elevated humidity levels and uncontrolled air infiltration within the attic space.

To address the underlying issues, all penetrations and air leaks were meticulously sealed using our ZypFoam. The contaminated wood surfaces were then treated with Mold-X2, a professional-grade antimicrobial solution designed to eliminate mold stains.

Following decontamination, we installed 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose insulation, a dense-pack blown-in material known for its superior thermal performance and eco-friendly composition. 

This attic had an inadequate amount of insulation, and the client preferred to call in a professional to ensure an effective solution.Our team of workers removed the existing insulation to seal all the holes where air was escaping. Additionally, we blew about 17 inches of TruSoft cellulose fiber insulation onto the attic floor to achieve an optimal thermal value of R60.
