Attic Insulation West Meadowlark Park Edmonton

Attic top-ups in West Meadowlark Park that hold their depth

Attics in West Meadowlark Park 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
• 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
• Baffles kept clear so the soffit vents still breathe

Attic Insulation West Meadowlark Park Edmonton: your questions answered

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.

How much insulation should my attic have?

It is settled depth and even coverage that decide performance, not the product name. We set depth markers before blowing so the result is measurable, and check the corners rather than just the area near the hatch.

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.

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.

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 West Meadowlark Park house and the parts a general top-up misses.
