Spray foam insulation is a highly effective and durable option for residential and commercial buildings, pole barns, homes, and other applications. It has a high R-Value, which means it keeps your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. This reduces energy bills significantly. It also reduces the infiltration of pollens and other airborne allergens, making your home a more healthy place to live.
Insulate It Solutions, there are a number of issues associated with spray foam insulation that property owners must be aware of before they have it installed in their home. If left unchecked, these problems can lead to significant remediation costs which are often higher than the cost savings realized from the spray foam installation itself.
Spray Foam Insulation: Why Insulate It Solutions is the Best Choice
Mold and other pollutants that find their way into homes with spray foam insulation have a much harder time escaping because the foam seals them in. These conditions are known to trigger the onset of asthma, allergies and other respiratory problems and can lead to a significant decrease in indoor air quality.
Moisture entrapment is another serious problem associated with spray foam insulation. It is the result of moisture rising to the point of condensation inside the building envelope, the space between the controlled environment and the outside environment. The resulting mold development can cause significant health and safety risks in addition to causing the need for costly remediation.
Although these issues are relatively rare, they do occur. If not addressed properly, they can make it more difficult to sell or re-mortgage a property that has spray foam insulation. The solution is a simple one: an enhanced home ventilation system such as ERV or HRV. These systems mitigate these poor airflow situations and help to ensure that the home or building is sufficiently ventilated to prevent the build-up of moisture, mold spores and other harmful contaminants in the building’s structure and interior.
