Spray Foam insulation contractor is an effective energy-saving solution for homes. It can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 50%, saving homeowners significant money over time. Unlike other insulation types, which leak air around cracks and ducts in the building envelope, spray foam seals tightly.
This insulation type is an ideal choice for new construction and retrofit applications. It can be installed in wall cavities, attics, and crawlspaces. It also is available in varying R-values to meet specific project requirements.

While spray foam is a great insulation option, it can create moisture and other problems when not properly installed. These issues are often overlooked or under-diagnosed and can result in high remediation costs. These costs can significantly outweigh any savings realized with the spray foam installation itself.
Mold and mildew can develop in homes that have spray foam insulation. This is due to the foam’s ability to trap vapors and other contaminants in the home’s airtight environment. When not managed properly, this can lead to the growth of harmful microorganisms, which can wreak havoc on health.
Additionally, if the spray foam is applied to a surface that requires a primer or coating before it can be installed, the material may fail to adhere correctly and create gaps between the substrate and the foam. This can compromise the effectiveness of the insulation and lead to moisture problems, including rot and wood damage.
