Insulate It Solutions and Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation is an excellent insulator that can save homeowners money on their energy bills. It can also prevent air leaks and protect the home from pests and rodents. However, improper installation can cause serious problems for the home and its occupants. Having a knowledgeable consultant on your side can make sure your insulation is installed correctly and safely. IndoorDoctor is your go-to for informed and experienced consultation and testing.

When you’re choosing the best insulation for your home, it’s important to understand what each variety of insulation does and how it fits into a home’s unique design. The thermal performance, moisture control and the risk of improper installation should all be considered carefully when weighing your options.

Unlike fiberglass and cellulose, spray foam is applied on site as liquid, which expands to fill the space and create an airtight seal. This allows the product to conform to the structure and fit the nooks and crannies that may otherwise be difficult or impossible to insulate with traditional methods.

The air seal created by open and closed cell spray foam protects homes from air infiltration and drafts. In attics, it can also prevent ice dams by stopping warm air from escaping up through the roof and cooling the snow on the shingles.

Unfortunately, the airtight nature of the spray foam can cause issues with moisture in certain climate zones and situations. Moisture entrapment can lead to condensation within the wall assembly, which could lead to mold and mildew problems. This problem is often ignored and not properly addressed by the installer, which can leave the homeowner with expensive remediation and costs that far outweigh any savings realized from the spray foam itself.
