Prevents Air and Moisture from Entering Your Home

One of the major advantages provided by spray foam insulation is its effectiveness in preventing outdoor air and moisture from infiltrating the home. Unlike fiberglass insulation which can compress and sag over time, polyurethane-based spray foam expands and seals even the smallest cracks, gaps, and crevices that allow drafts or let in outdoor allergens and pollutants. This airtight barrier maintains a consistently comfortable indoor environment and inhibits the growth of mold, mildew, and dust mites by blocking moisture. Homeowners can breathe easier knowing their living spaces will be free of drafts and irritating particles.

Lowers Energy Bills

The robust insulation capacity of professionally installed spray foam can significantly reduce monthly heating and cooling costs for any home. With an insulation value of R-6 or more per inch, spray foam delivers one of the highest R-values among insulation materials. This enables the formation of a thermal envelope that blocks heat transfer far better than fiberglass insulation. By preventing hot or cold air from escaping or entering the home, spray foam can lower energy bills by up to 50% annually for the typical household. It also minimizes temperature differences between floors which can create significant energy losses.

Prevents Ice Dams

In colder climates, improperly insulated attics and roofs often lead to the formation of hazardous ice dams on roof eaves. This occurs when warm household air escapes into the attic and causes snow on the roof to melt. The meltwater runs down and refreezes near the uninsulated eaves, forming an ice dam that traps more water. This causes leaks and extensive water damage to attics, walls, ceilings, insulation, and personal belongings. Correctly installed spray foam insulation forms an airtight seal which prevents warm attic air from rising and melting snow on the roof. This eliminates gaps where ice dams can form, protecting homeowners from catastrophic leakage issues.

Keeps Critters and Bugs from Getting Inside

Pest infiltration is another common problem that spray foam insulation addresses effectively. Bugs, stinging insects, rodents, and other critters can easily enter homes through tiny exterior cracks, holes, utility conduits, and other openings. But spray foam expands and adheres tightly to surfaces, sealing off any gaps where pests could come in. This not only protects against infestations and nesting inside walls or attics, but also reduces entry points for mice, rats, cockroaches, and other critters that spread disease. Homeowners can enjoy peace of mind knowing their families and properties are protected.

Increases Your Comfort

By preventing outdoor air infiltration and regulating internal temperatures, spray foam insulation allows homeowners to enjoy greater comfort year-round. Drafts, cold spots, and temperature fluctuations are significantly reduced, creating consistent indoor conditions immune to outside weather changes. Irritating allergens and particles from outdoors are also minimized, improving air quality and health. Many homeowners report that rooms insulated with spray foam feel pleasantly warmer in winter and cooler in summer. With such upgraded comfort and energy savings, spray foam is an insulation investment that pays dividends for many years.
