Problem

Mr. Steve contacted us to resolve some complications within his attic. Our specialist, Toufic, visited for a free inspection. He explained to Mr. Steve that the existing insulation was insufficient. More importantly, there were several sources of unsealed air leaks, allowing air infiltration and condensation, leading to mold formation and, on the other hand, reducing residential comfort within the house.

Solution

Upon receiving authorization from our client, our team of workers began by removing the old, damaged insulation. We meticulously identified and sealed all air leaks in the attic through pipes, cables, recessed lights, etc. Then, we eliminated the mold with our excellent product, Mold-X2. We placed thermal insulation blocks along the walls. This helped prevent heat loss. Finally, we proceeded to blow in our high-quality cellulose fiber insulation on the attic floor, achieving an R60 thermal value. This method filled the void spaces and ensured adequate insulation.

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.

Problem

Mr. Chris contacted us due to several complications in his attic. Our specialist, Toufic, went to Terrasse-Vaudreuil for a free inspection. He identified several issues. The attic contained mold, considerable air leaks, and inadequate insulation. It was clear that these problems had a negative impact on residential comfort and energy consumption. Toufic developed a detailed action plan to address these issues.

Solution

We removed the existing insulation, which was in poor condition. Then, we meticulously sealed the air leaks through pipes, cables, recessed lighting, etc. We also eliminated all mold stains using our excellent product, Mold-X2. To ensure optimal insulation, we blew in our cellulose fiber insulation, known for its excellent thermal insulation properties.

The problem: When we've inspected this attic. Jerry our home comfort specialist found that this attic has not enough fiberglass and they were quite a bit of condensation on the ceiling roof. The client has noticed this, too, and wanted to change this factor. 

The solution: To resolve this problem, we have removed all the old fiberglass and seal off all the leaking cracks with our expendable foam named Zypfoam. This helps reduces by a lot the risk of air leaking. After, we blew 16 inches of our TruSoft cellulose to achieve R60 of value. 

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.

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.

Problem

1- The existing insulation is not in adequate quantity. In other words, the amount of insulation installed in the attic is not sufficient to achieve a thermal value of R60 (the recommended value for most regions in Quebec).

2- Lifting the existing insulation, our specialist noticed that there were still existing holes allowing air to infiltrate. This was concerning, as the presence of air leaks in the attic diminishes the effectiveness of the insulation.

Solution

1- We removed the existing insulation to identify and seal all sources of air leaks.

2- A thorough examination was then conducted to ensure no existing holes were overlooked. Using our revolutionary product, ZypFoam, we completed the sealing process, preventing air from escaping into the attic.

3- Install our TruSoft cellulose insulation. We blew approximately 17 inches to achieve the required R60 value.

Problem

Lack of insulation in the attic. This makes the house less comfortable with higher electricity costs.

Solution

Remove the old fiberglass insulation to seal the air leaks with polyurethane foam and blow a little more than 16 in. of cellulose fibers to achieve an R60 value.

The problem

Mr. Benchimol's attic was very poorly insulated and the insulation had not been changed for years.

The solution

Redo the attic insulation, starting by removing the fiberglass to blow out 16 in. of cellulose. This will give an R60 thermal value to the attic.

Cellulose insulation is a highly effective material that will raise your insulation R-value to the recommended levels that your attic needs.

The problem

Ms. Doucet contacted Système Econergie, because she had problems with ice dams on her roof in winter. This is due to the poor insulation of the attic and unclogged air leaks.

The solution

To solve this problem, we removed our customer’s old insulation to seal all air leaks (seal joints, holes etc) with our expanded foam. And then we insulated the access hatch with our SilverGlo to finally blow just over 16”of cellulose fiber insulation all over the attic floor.
