Attic Insulation Inspection, Removal, Installation & Top Ups
In Canada’s cold climate, the insulation material in your home goes beyond basic comfort—it’s about efficiency and savings.

The team at Roof Pro Plus is well-equipped to guide you through this crucial home improvement. Whether it’s evaluating your current fiberglass or spray foam insulation or considering a top-up, our experts are here to ensure your attic insulation is optimally protecting your home.
Investing in a professional inspection can significantly boost your living comfort and lower energy consumption, making your home a model of sustainability and warmth, even in the coldest Canadian winters.

Insulation plays a crucial role in keeping your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The right mix of attic insulation and proper ventilation is key to a comfortable, energy-efficient living space.
Heat loss through the attic floor is a common issue, with warm air escaping in winter and external heat raising indoor temperatures in summer. This imbalance forces heating and cooling systems to work harder, leading to higher energy costs.
Installing insulation in an unfinished attic not only protects your home but also offers significant energy savings. The importance of preventing air leakage and ensuring adequate insulation in attics cannot be overstated, as neglecting this can lead to increased energy bills and the risk of ice dam formation. Ensuring your attic has proper ventilation, using vents and baffles, is essential for regulating heat flow and moisture levels.
Signs That Your Attic May Be Poorly Insulated
During an attic insulation inspection, the Roof Pro Plus team will assess several key factors to ensure optimal insulation performance for you, your family, and your home. This assessment includes checking for blocked soffits, proper attic ventilation, correct installation of baffles, and ensuring the roof sheathing is in good condition.
The presence of ice dams and ice buildup are widely recognized as one of the strongest signs of poor attic insulation and ventilation issues. When heat escapes from the home due to a lack of proper air sealing, it meets the cold air outside and causes snow and ice to melt. This water then flows down the roof and refreezes at the edge, where the temperature is lower. Over time, ice dams can cause serious damage to roofs and exacerbate other problems, such as leaks and mold growth in the roof cavity.
Signs that you might need more insulation in your attic include:
- Ice damming and ice build up
- Uneven heating and ineffective cooling
- Hot inside air in the summer
- Moisture in the attic
- High energy bills
Attic Insulation Removal
If your attic insulation gets wet or is exposed to excessive humidity, it creates the ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth. Also, loose fill insulation that has been packed too tightly into an attic can impede air flow, leading to condensation and the potential for mold growth.
If you have had a roof leak, our team will be able to tell you how much insulation needs to be removed and replaced following a quick insulation inspection.
If wildlife invades your attic, it’s not just an intrusion; it’s a hazard. Beyond the immediate need to evict these unwelcome guests, there’s often damage left behind, particularly to insulation. If you have had an issue with animals in your attic space, an insulation inspection is in order.
