Mississauga (Churchill Meadows): not every attic needs a gut job — a same-day top-up to R-60

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.

5The Short Version

Not every attic needs a gut job — and this Churchill Meadows home in Mississauga is the proof. The original cellulose had settled to 6–7 inches: clean, dry, mold-free and pest-free, just half the R-value it should have. Removal would have been wasted money, so Confirmed Attics & Insulation said so. In one same-day visit, the crew air-sealed the plumbing stack and duct penetrations with spray foam, repaired the torn vapour barrier issue by sealing the leaks that mattered, installed 10 baffle vents with soffit cover-up to protect intake airflow, upgraded the attic hatch, and topped up all 920 sq ft with fresh blown-in fiberglass to R-60 over the existing material. An honest top-up instead of an upsell: one crew, one day, a warmer house, and no unnecessary removal. Completed May 2026; 10-year workmanship warranty.
