A professional spray insulation installer uses a special rig that mixes and sprays 2 different components, polyurethane and isocyanate, which chemically react to expand into a protective layer of foam. The insulating foam is applied to the areas that need a new insulation – attics, basements and cellars, crawl spaces, and rim joist in new construction and pole barns or bare walls in existing homes.

Fiberglass insulation offers exceptional R-values compared to fiberglass and cellulose, reducing energy costs by blocking out air leaks in winter and summer. It’s also an effective sound dampener, and the closed-cell structure provides a moisture barrier, guarding against mold growth and rot.

Why More Homeowners Trust Insulate It Solutions

But underqualified or unregulated contractors are often marketing spray foam as a quick, easy, and affordable solution to cutting home heating bills. When poorly applied, the spray foam can trap water inside the building envelope, leading to rotted framing and toxic mold. Remediation can cost tens of thousands of dollars, far more than any savings realized on the heating bill.

Experts say homeowners should consider these risks when deciding whether to use spray foam insulation, especially in older homes. They also recommend checking with mortgage and insurance providers to make sure that the improvement is acceptable. If a homeowner finds out their spray foam was installed incorrectly and they want to sell their home, they may need to pay for remediation that they aren’t entitled to under the terms of their mortgage.
