Not sure when you should upgrade to spray foam in your home? There will usually be signs that your current insulation or air-sealing is no longer doing its job. Here are some things to look out for.
Persistent Drafts and Uneven Temperatures
If you feel drafts near outlets or windows, it may be time for an insulation upgrade. Rooms that are also too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter also point to signs that your home is not properly sealed. Spray foam helps build a more consistent temperature throughout your home year-round.
High Utility Costs
When you’re constantly running heat or cooling systems and the bills start to rise, poor insulation is often to blame. Spray foam insulation can address these issues by sealing gaps, improving overall energy efficiency, and reducing costs.
Moisture, Mold, and Humidity Issues
These are all signs of poor insulation. Spray-foam insulation (especially closed-cell) acts as a moisture barrier, preventing mold growth and improving indoor air quality.
Better Soundproofing
If you can hear every little bump and creak in your home, upgrading to spray-foam insulation may be your best bet. It reduces noise transfer between rooms and exterior walls, and is ideal if you have an especially busy home with high foot traffic.
