Before & After Photos

Before

The owners converted and existing garage into a workshop and wanted to use the space all year and requested the hot roof method, in which there is no attic and the roof sheathing is exposed and spray foamed. 

After

Spray foam insulation was used as an efficient way to provide insulation. The foam will add a vapour barrier and required R-value to the space. The Advanced Basement Systems team has been trained and are certified to work from heights and can get to the peak points in the building.

Before

This attic in Strathroy, Ontario was in rough shape. The old pink fiberglass insulation was dirty, damaged, and no longer effective. The roof deck showed signs of black mold on the aging lumber, and without proper baffles or damming, the attic was vulnerable to wind washing and ice damming. Energy efficiency was low, air leakage was high, and the home was losing valuable heat.

After

We transformed the space completely. First, we removed all the contaminated fiberglass and treated the roof deck to eliminate the black mold. Then we installed all new baffles and damming to control airflow and prevent future ice damming issues. Next, we applied 2" (R12) of closed-cell spray foam to the attic floor, creating an airtight seal. To finish, we added R60 of blown-in cellulose for superior insulation.

Before

The home owners are completing renovations to the upper level of the 2 story home. They have included proper attic insulation work to help make the older home more comfortable and energy efficient.

After

Spray foam was used on the lower portion of the attic decking to provide an air/vapour barrier between the attic and the living space. This barrier is a vital part of attic insulation as it will not allow the heated/cooled air below to escape into the attic above. Cellulose insulation can then be blown-in to complete the process.

If you are planning to upgrade your home consider giving Advanced Basement a call to discuss options- we can help!

Our product Mold-X2 is a special two-part system of botanical and stain remover. This means we are killing the mould and then also removing it from the lumber! The result are essentially immediate. The product can also be used on concrete. 
Great job by our installer Logan here! This attic is well on its way to being dry, safe and comfortable- helping this home save money on energy bills.

Before

The attic in the home was insulated using 6” fiberglass batt insulation. The R value for this application is approximately R20 while the recommended value for homes in Ontario is R60. The existing forced the home’s HVAC system to work harder and more often to maintain a comfortable living space.

After

Advanced Basement Systems replaced the batt insulation with cellulose blown-in up to a thickness of R60. The result will reduce the energy required to heat/cool the home and meet the recommended levels.
