We removed all the old fiberglass insulation. Why? It's not the correct insulation type, for a variety of reasons. Blown-in cellulose is the appropriate application. Along with that, the pipe and wire penetrations that come into the attic are not air-tight. We need to access all of these point to ensure heat loss is at a minimum! This insulation is also full of mouse droppings (mice love pink fiberglass).
Once the removal, air sealing and new baffles are completed, the new blown-in cellulose can be installed. 
Beautiful work here by our crew for this London homeowner. 

This is another attic that has fiberglass insulation in the joists. We know that this isn't an ideal product for the attic- not to mention mice love fiberglass insulation! After we removed the insulation, our team used closed-cell foam to seal top plate, wire and pipe penetrations to ensure minimal heat loss! Finally, we returned the following day to blow-in new 17" R60 cellulose insulation. We also added air sealing around the hatch access.

Great job Logan, Shane and Tyler in this home!

It is important to look at the vapour barrier during and attic insulation upgrade. Adding insulation on top of existing insulation will not provide the best result if the barrier is not complete. Inspect all breaks in the barrier including light fixtures, ceiling fans, plumbing and electrical pass throughs and any cuts or tears. These should be sealed prior to adding any new insulation.

In this case, the barrier was almost done, Advanced Basement Systems needed to remove the old insulation seal around the openings and finally blow in cellulose.

If you suspect your insulation is not keeping the heat in, give Advanced Basement Systems and call.
