Attic Insulation Northeast Edmonton

Attic insulation in Northeast Edmonton: air seal first, then blow

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

Attic Insulation Northeast Edmonton: your questions answered

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.

Should I block the vents to stop drafts?

No. The attic is meant to run close to outdoor temperature so the roof deck stays cold. Blocking soffit vents causes exactly the ice damming people add insulation to prevent.

Do you insulate the attic hatch too?

Yes. It is a direct opening between the house and a space at outdoor temperature, and it is usually the first place we look when someone says a hallway or landing is cold.

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.

Do you insulate over an addition or a vaulted ceiling?

Those need looking at specifically rather than quoting an average depth. Shallow attics, cathedral sections and knee walls are usually the coldest rooms in an Northeast Edmonton house and the parts a general top-up misses.

How much will this save me on heating?

We will not put a percentage on it. Too much depends on your air leakage, windows and furnace. We will tell you what depth you have now, what you would have after, and where the leaks are — those we can actually measure.
