Insulation is one of the most important decisions a homeowner can make to save on energy bills and create a comfortable, healthy environment. It also affects the value of the home. Whether you’re a new or existing home owner, Green Earth Spray Foam is the ideal choice for your insulation needs.
Allstate Spray Foam Insulation spray foam products are composed of resin and chemicals like polyurethane that expand when mixed and sprayed on site to seal wall cavities, exterior walls, crawl spaces, attics, and small gaps and cracks throughout the building envelope. This limits air movement, reducing energy usage and pest intrusion, making for a more efficient and healthier home.
Allstate Spray Foam Insulation: Exploring the Benefits and Options
However, the experts I interviewed for this article were unanimous in their view that spray foam is better suited to certain jobs than others, particularly old, rubble-stone cellars and basements. They also recommend avoiding spray foam in cathedral ceilings and attics. In addition, the spray foam must be properly applied to prevent moisture damage, which can lead to rotted framing and toxic mold. The costs of moisture remediation and repair can run into the tens of thousands of dollars, far more than the cost of spray foam itself.
The decision to do-it-yourself or hire a professional will depend on your skill level, time and budget. DIY kits are available from many home improvement retailers, but they must be mixed and sprayed correctly to achieve consistent coverage and expansion. Unless you have extensive experience in spraying, you may find it challenging to achieve these results. In contrast, professional contractors can monitor the mixture and temperature of the foam to ensure it dries at the proper time. They can also use a boom lift, such as a Genie S-40, to expedite the process.
