Attic Insulation Ramsay Heights Edmonton

Attic top-ups in Ramsay Heights that hold their depth

Attics in Ramsay Heights 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
• Baffles kept clear so the soffit vents still breathe
• Air sealing at pot lights, top plates and the attic hatch
• Blown-in loose-fill to the depth your permit specifies
• Attic hatch insulated and weatherstripped

Attic Insulation Ramsay Heights 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.

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 Ramsay Heights house and the parts a general top-up misses.

My bathroom fan seems to vent into the attic. Is that a problem?

Yes, and it needs correcting before insulating. It dumps warm wet air into the coldest part of the house, and burying it under fresh insulation hides a moisture source that will show up later as frost and staining.

Can you blow insulation over my pot lights?

Only if they are rated for contact with insulation. Older fixtures need clearance and have to be boxed or replaced. Either way they are significant air leaks, so they get sealed first.

Why does my Ramsay Heights 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.

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.
