When a homeowner calls a roofing contractor in Calgary, they’re usually worried about shingles, flashing, or leaks. But just beneath that new roof is another critical part of the home — the attic. And while roofers are experts at protecting what’s above, they don’t often get to see what’s happening inside the attic space.

That’s where Sorell Insulation comes in. We work closely with Calgary roofing companies because, together, we can give homeowners complete top-to-bottom protection — from the shingles to the attic insulation and ventilation that keep everything performing at its best.

Roofing crews spend more time on a roof in a single day than most homeowners do in a lifetime. This gives them a unique advantage — they can often see the first signs of attic-related issues that could lead to costly repairs if left unchecked, such as:

• Ventilation blockages — clogged soffits, blocked ridge vents, or broken roof vents.

• Ice dams along the eaves — often caused by poor attic insulation or ventilation, common in Calgary winters.

• Roof deck sagging or warping — sometimes due to trapped attic moisture.

• Premature shingle wear — often linked to excessive attic heat in summer.

While these red flags are visible from the outside, roofers rarely see the inside of the attic, where the source of the problem usually lies.

From the outside, a roof might look perfect. But step inside the attic, and you might find:

• Insulation that’s settled, compressed, or missing in critical areas.
• Mold growth caused by hidden condensation.
• Disconnected or damaged ventilation components.
• Air leaks around light fixtures, plumbing stacks, or attic hatches.

These issues can lower your home’s energy efficiency, shorten the lifespan of your roofing materials, and even affect your indoor air quality.

That’s why many Calgary roofers refer homeowners to us for a professional attic inspection. We use specialized tools, training, and experience to assess insulation and ventilation — and fix problems before they become expensive structural damage.

When roofing contractors and insulation specialists work together, the homeowner gets:

• Complete roof and attic protection — both work together as a system.

• Longer-lasting roofing materials thanks to proper ventilation and balanced attic temperatures.

• Lower heating and cooling bills from improved insulation performance.

• Fewer future roofing issues, since underlying attic problems are addressed.

We handle the attic. The roofer handles the roof. The homeowner gets lasting comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind.

We are grateful for the strong relationships we have built with roofing contractors across Calgary, Airdrie, Okotoks, Chestermere, and Cochrane. Roofers know they can count on us for:

• Fast attic inspections — often the same week.
• Clear, detailed reports with actionable recommendations.
