Would you willingly put $100 dollars into your home if $60 dollars of it was going to immediately burn in a fire? Well non-insulated homes can lose over 60% of input energy through the walls, crawlspace, and attic. Of your total energy expenditure - on average you could be losing 15% with poor or non-insulated homes.
A professionally insulated home - especially when using residential spray foam insulation for attic insulation, basement insulation, or crawl space insulation - results in energy savings through elimination of leaking air in and out of your home. This allows for optimal thermal control to be achieved with less energy from your heating or cooling unit.

Air Quality Improvements
With the elimination of air penetrating your home’s weak points - spray foam insulation prevents foreign pollen and allergen particulates from weaseling their way into your home. If you’re constantly downing Claritan every morning during pollen season and just can’t seem to escape it - you might say the improved air quality is the best benefit of insulating your home, not to mention the money saved on medical expenses and visiting the ENT doctor every spring.
Strengthen Your Home
You might think we’re yanking your chain - but believe it or not - spray foam insulation improves the structural integrity of your home. This is due to the density of the insulation which increases the load bearing capabilities of your walls and ceiling. Spray foam insulation can make your house up to three times more robust and durable.
Effective Soundproofing
If your house seems to have walls thinner than a used kleenex - proper insulation can provide you with a significant improvement in sound proofing - gone are the days of listening to your teenagers angsty melodramatic music through the walls at night.
Spray foam insulation actually helps reduce noise pollution naturally due to the density and expanding properties of the material. Thus soundwaves are unable to travel through the walls quite as easily which results in significantly reducing the noises heard between rooms in your home. If your property is located near a busy roadway - you will love the immediate reduction of roadway noise from inside your home.

No More Pests
Spray foam insulation does a wonderful job of closing up all entry ways into your home - eliminating the access points for pests and insects to take residence. The other awesome part about spray foam insulation is that the material is actually extremely durable making it resistant to chewing and clawing from the worst pests of all - rodents.
Protect Your Home From Water Damage
Water is one of those things that you can’t live with and you can’t live without it. So many homeowners are affected by water damage every year and many of them do not know that a properly insulated home can actually provide an extremely strong barrier against moisture and water which can significantly reduce your annual home maintenance costs.
