Attic Insulation Lago Lindo Edmonton

Attic insulation in Lago Lindo: air seal first, then blow

Attics in Lago Lindo 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.

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

Attic Insulation Lago Lindo Edmonton: your questions answered

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.

Can I add over the old insulation?

Usually yes, if it is dry, even and uncontaminated. If it is wet, compacted, rodent-affected or hiding unsealed penetrations, removing it first is worth the cost, and we tell you which one we found.

Why is the area above my exterior walls always cold?

Geometry. The roof meets the wall at the lowest point in the attic, so there is least room exactly where it is needed most. Baffles hold insulation back from the soffit vents while letting depth carry over the wall plate.

Will insulating my attic stop the ice at my eaves?

Often it helps a great deal, because ice damming is usually escaping heat melting snow that then refreezes over the cold overhang. Air sealing plus even coverage to the eaves lowers the deck temperature, which is the actual cause.

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.

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.
