Attic Insulation, Brossard (Case)

Imagine a house in Brossard with efficient attic insulation, where the winter chill no longer sends shivers down your spine, and the summer heat is no longer stifling. This was the vision of our client, who experienced these extremes and sought the expertise of our attic inspection team to assess the attic insulation. We identified opportunities for improvement to enhance the attic insulation and help reduce energy consumption.

Attic Insulation Inspection:

Upon initial inspection, our inspector noticed a glaring lack of attic insulation, resulting in significant temperature variations. When randomly lifting insulation to verify the vapor barrier’s integrity, it was discovered that the bathroom fan was releasing moisture directly into the attic insulation, leading to mold growth. Fortunately, the mold was localized to this area, providing a stroke of luck for our Brossard homeowner, as it had not yet affected the roof, which could have had more severe consequences. As is often the case with attic insulation, a recurring issue was observed during our attic inspection: insulation covering soffits or open gable vents despite the presence of a roof vent. Unfortunately, many roofers neglect to inspect the attic during roof renovations, resulting in not optimal attic and roof ventilation.

Solution for Attic Insulation and Optimal Ventilation:

Our attic insulation work began by clearing the soffits to optimize attic ventilation and installing deflectors to prevent future blockage by insulation. Following this, we removed the discolored insulation around the bathroom vent. We reinstalled a ventilation pipe to properly seal the vent, and reinforced the vapor barrier over the fan to prevent bathroom humidity from affecting the insulation again. Subsequently, we added a generous layer of insulation to the Brossard residence’s attic to ensure more consistent temperatures inside, regardless of the season.
