Attic Insulation Webber Greens Edmonton

Attic top-ups in Webber Greens that hold their depth

Attics in Webber Greens 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.

• Baffles kept clear so the soffit vents still breathe
• Depth markers left in place so the result is verifiable
• 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
• Existing insulation levelled before the top-up

Attic Insulation Webber Greens Edmonton: your questions answered

How much insulation should my Webber Greens 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.

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.

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.

How do I know I got the depth I paid for?

We leave depth markers through the attic so the installed depth can be read off by anyone afterwards. Depth is easy to claim and hard to check once the hatch is closed, which is exactly why we mark it.

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.
