Insulation is one of those things that homeowners usually do not think about. It can become very cold in your home but you might not even consider that your home is so cold because you don't have enough insulation. Residential spray foam is easy to add to a home. You will need to look for several warning signs that your home needs residential spray foam.
You Already Have Insulation
If you are considering a residential spray foam roofing system, you will want to take the fact that you already have a system of insulation into consideration. Spray foam insulation is ideal for homes that already have insulation, but don't have enough, because you can always spray more insulation into the spaces in-between your walls.
Your Home Isn't Energy-Efficient
You might be concerned about air leakage and an additional layer of insulation might make sense for your home. You will be able to improve the energy efficiency of your home. This means that your heating and cooling units will not have to work as hard to keep your home at the desired temperature. This is also better for the environment because you will not be generating as much carbon when conditioning your home.
Your Home is Unusual
You might be planning on adding insulation, but the space between the walls of your home might be irregular. The good news is that spray foam insulation is able to fit in the most awkward spaces and might make it possible to insulate homes that would be impossible to insulate using other methods.
You Have Moisture Concerns
It's also a very moisture-resistant form of insulation and is ideal if your home has moisture problems. It can help protect your home from mold and mildew problems. Because of how long spray foam insulation lasts, your home will likely be protected from moisture for decades and possibly for as long as you own your home.
However, the full lifespan of your spray foam insulation depends on the quality of the materials used when installing your spray foam insulation and the methods used to install the spray foam. If it's not installed correctly, it might need to be replaced in a few short years.
Because spray foam insulation needs to be installed in the right way, it's important to contact professionals to install spray foam insulation. The insulation process is also too dangerous for a layman to complete because you might need to get up on the roof.
