Attic Insulation Top-Up To R-60
An attic insulation top-up blows fresh cellulose over the layer already in place and lifts the attic to R-60. For a chilly top floor in an older Orléans house, it is the quickest fix there is.

Ontario attic rebates up to $1,250 may applyWet attic insulation holds little heat, and left damp it can feed mould on the roof boards. We find out where the water came from, take out the damaged material, and reinsulate once the wood is dry.
A wet attic insulation repair only lasts when the source of the water is dealt with, so finding it always comes first.
Wet And Mouldy Insulation Details
Where Wet Attic Insulation Comes From
The first suspect is a bath fan that blows into the attic instead of outdoors. Next is frost under the roof deck from house air leaking through the ceiling, which drips each time it thaws. The last is a roof leak or water from ice dams.
We check for all three during the free visit and send you photos of any wet attic insulation we find.
Fixing The Source Before New Insulation
A bath fan gets a proper duct to a roof or soffit vent. Ceiling leaks are sealed before the wet attic insulation is replaced. A roof leak is roofing work, and we tell you plainly when that call has to come before ours.
The attic air sealing page shows how sealing ends the frost problem.
Taking Out Wet Attic Insulation
Stained, damp wet attic insulation is vacuumed or bagged and hauled away. The wood is left to dry, and the roof boards are checked before anything new goes down.
Light surface mould on the wood can often be cleaned. Heavy growth points to a long-running problem, and we lay out your options before you decide.
Wet Attic Insulation Replacement Pricing
Removing and replacing wet attic insulation usually runs $3.50 to $6.50 per square foot of the affected area at Ontario market rates. One wet patch under a fan costs far less than a whole attic.

Cellulose Attic Insulation
Cellulose attic insulation is blown in as loose fill and settles into a dense, even layer across the whole attic floor. It reaches the low corners at the eaves where batts often stop short.

Old Attic Insulation Removal
Attic insulation removal pulls out old fill that is flattened, dirty or damaged, so the attic can be sealed and refilled properly. It leaves through a sealed vacuum hose and goes away in bags.

Attic Air Sealing
Attic air sealing plugs the openings between your living space and the attic above. Heated air rises out through pot lights, wire holes, vent stacks and the hatch, carrying moisture along with it.

Ice Dam Prevention
Ice dams start when warmth leaking out of the house softens roof snow from underneath and the water freezes again at the cold overhang. Ice dams then hold back more meltwater, which can creep under the shingles and stain the ceiling.

Vermiculite Insulation
Vermiculite insulation is a light, pebbly loose fill in silver-gold to grey-brown. Some vermiculite insulation sold in Canada before 1990, including the Zonolite brand, came from a mine with natural asbestos in it. Not all of it contains asbestos, and nobody can tell by looking.
