Mississauga (Churchill Meadows): not every attic needs a gut job — a same-day top-up to R-60
Here’s the case study we like showing people who are afraid to book an inspection: sometimes the answer is the smaller job. This Churchill Meadows attic didn’t need a removal — and we said so.
1The Problem
The original cellulose had settled to 6–7 inches — still clean and dry, just not enough of it. The poly vapour barrier was torn and flapping loose over a duct, and the usual suspects (plumbing stack, duct boots) were leaking house air into the attic.
2What the Inspection Found
Because the existing material was dry, mold-free, and pest-free, removal would have been wasted money. The plan: seal the leaks, fix the airflow, and bury the old cellulose under fresh fiberglass to reach R-60.
3How We Fixed It
One crew, one day:
- Air-sealed the plumbing stack and duct penetrations with spray foam
- Installed 10 baffle vents with soffit cover-up to protect the intake airflow
- Upgraded the attic hatch
- Topped up 920 sq ft with fresh blown-in fiberglass to R-60
4The Result
A same-day job, a warmer house, and no unnecessary removal. When our inspection says a top-up is enough, that’s what we quote — the 300+ five-star reviews come from jobs like this one.
