Complete Attic Insulation within a house in Saint-Paul-De-L'ile-Aux-Noix, Quebec
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.
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.

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.
