Attic insulation in Hampstead, Montreal, Qc
Theresa from Hampstead contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to book a free estimate because her electricity bill was very high, and her desired home comfort was not reflected on these bills.
As soon as our expert arrived at her home, he inspected the attic thoroughly.
They were many holes in the attic floor that were not sealed and resulted in air leaks. To add to the problem, the insulation used was fiberglass and was in a bad condition and mold was found. Also the amount of insulation was really inadequate to our Quebec climate.
To solve this problem, our installation team went by the expert's recommandation and began by removing the old insulation. Then they sealed all the holes and gaps such as wiring holes to avoid any air leaks. Finally, they insulated the entire attic floor with 17 inches of our cellulose insulation. Our cellulose insulation is effective, safe, environmentally friendly, durable and yields the best results.
All these products allowed the customer's attic to be perfectly insulated and with no air leaks. This change has brought to our client the home comfort and peace of mind she always desired.

The problem
The rooms in Mr. Donovan's house were uncomfortable. They were often either too hot or too cold. He also had too high heating and cooling costs. These problems are due to poor attic insulation and as a matter of fact, he only had 8 ‘’ of blown wool in his attic.

Attic insulation in Saint-Bruno,QC
Challenge
Mr. Juan, a resident of Saint-Bruno, contacted us following complications in his attic. Our specialist Patrick, visited for a free, detailed inspection. While examining the attic, Patrick identified several air leaks, as well as a lack of insulation. He explained to Mr. Juan that this could be the source of uncomfortable drafts within the house. Excessive use of heating/air-conditioning systems to neutralize the drafts will result in increasing the Hydro bill. Patrick then proposed suitable Attic insulation solutions.
Solution
Our team of experienced workers removed the old and aged insulation. Then, they sealed all existing air leaks via cables, pipes and flushes, including the attic hatch, which was insulated using our SilverGlo thermal insulation.
Finally, our TruSoft cellulose fiber insulation was blown throughout the attic to achieve a thermal value of R60.
