Supply Chain Issues with Spray Foam

The disruption in the supply chain due to COVID occurred and it had a chain-reaction type of snowball effect on the spray foam industry.

Ice Dams and Roof Leaks

If your home has the typical pink fiberglass insulation and the roof should begin to leak, you will have a real mess on your hands.

Spray foam is one of the best air barriers in the world. Spray foam will fill all cracks and crevices. It is extremely sticky, if you will, and has no problem adhering to all types of building materials.

HVAC Sizing

Since spray foam is both insulation and an air sealant, it works double duty, providing your home with the best insulation possible.

The Unvented Attic

Unvented attics also offer substantial energy savings when combined with spray foam insulation.
