Attic Insulation Jamieson Place Edmonton

Blown-in attic insulation in Jamieson Place, sealed before it is filled

Attics in Jamieson Place lose depth over time — insulation settles, someone crawls through it for a wiring job, and the corners near the eaves are usually thin to begin with. A top-up is only worth doing if the baffles are clear and the ceiling below is sealed, so that is what we check before quoting.

• Depth markers left in place so the result is verifiable
• Baffles kept clear so the soffit vents still breathe
• Existing insulation levelled before the top-up
• Attic hatch insulated and weatherstripped
• Blown-in loose-fill to the depth your permit specifies
• Air sealing at pot lights, top plates and the attic hatch

Attic Insulation Jamieson Place Edmonton: your questions answered

How much insulation should my Jamieson Place attic have?

The depth comes from what the code asks for on your permit, not from us. What we can tell you is the depth you have now, whether it is even, and whether the eaves and hatch are dealt with — those three often matter more than the last few inches.

Cellulose or fibreglass?

Both work when installed to depth with the ceiling sealed underneath. Cellulose is denser and resists air movement better; fibreglass is lighter and settles less. We pick based on what is already up there and tell you why.

Do I need to seal before adding insulation?

Yes, and it is the part most often skipped. Warm moist air leaking from the house frosts the roof deck and wets the insulation. Blowing over unsealed pot lights and top plates buries the problem instead of fixing it.

Why does my Jamieson Place attic frost up in winter?

Almost always warm moist air leaking up from the house through pot lights, top plates or the hatch, then condensing on cold sheathing. More insulation on its own does not fix it — the leaks have to be sealed first.

I store things in my attic. Can I keep doing that?

Yes, but the plywood squashes the insulation beneath it to joist depth. Either the storage area gets raised on a platform above the finished depth, or it stays as a deliberately weaker zone kept small. We will not top up around it and pretend it is not there.

Will you block my soffit vents?

No. Baffles hold the insulation back at the eaves so air can still move from the soffits to the ridge. A blocked attic gets damp no matter how much insulation is in it.
