Before & After Photos

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. 

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.

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.

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.

Our client in Saint-Lazare, Quebec, contacted us about concerns with their attic's condition before winter. After inspecting the attic, we discovered excessive humidity and air leaks, which were compromising the home’s energy efficiency and increasing heating costs. We addressed the issue by removing the old insulation, sealing air leaks, and installing TruSoft cellulose insulation to ensure optimal energy efficiency and protection against moisture.
