Blanket insulation is a reliable way to keep your home comfortable and energy-efficient, but like any home system, it needs a little TLC to perform at its best. Regular maintenance and inspection can help you get the most out of your insulation and avoid costly repairs down the line.
Start by inspecting your attic, walls, and crawl spaces for any signs of damage. Look for:
Sagging or compressed insulation – This reduces effectiveness.
Moisture or water stains – Damp insulation can lead to mold growth.
Pests or droppings – Rodents can chew through insulation, causing gaps.
Moisture is the enemy of blanket insulation. Make sure your attic and crawl spaces are properly ventilated and check for roof leaks or plumbing issues. If insulation gets wet, it may need to be replaced to maintain its insulating power.
Stacking boxes or heavy items on top of your insulation can crush it, reducing its R-value and energy efficiency. Keep storage off insulated areas whenever possible.
If you spot worn-out or damaged sections, don’t wait. Replacing compromised insulation restores energy efficiency and keeps your home comfortable year-round.
Even with regular DIY checks, a professional inspection ensures your insulation is performing at its peak. Experts can identify hidden issues, recommend upgrades, and guarantee your insulation lasts for decades.
At Custom Insulation Company, Inc., we help homeowners maintain the performance and longevity of their blanket insulation. From inspections to repairs, our team ensures your home stays energy-efficient and comfortable no matter the season.

Modern construction is evolving rapidly, and contractors are always looking for ways to improve efficiency, quality, and energy performance. One material that has gained significant traction in recent years is spray foam insulation. At Custom Insulation Company, Inc., we’ve seen firsthand how spray foam is transforming the way contractors approach residential and commercial projects.
Spray foam insulation offers several advantages that traditional materials like fiberglass or cellulose simply can’t match:
For contractors, spray foam isn’t just a product—it’s a solution that streamlines projects and improves outcomes. Faster installation, long-term performance, and fewer callbacks make spray foam an attractive option for professionals aiming to deliver high-quality results efficiently.
At Custom Insulation Company, Inc., we provide expert guidance and high-quality spray foam products to help contractors meet the demands of modern construction. From initial consultation to final application, we support builders in creating energy-efficient, durable, and comfortable spaces.

Creating a sustainable home isn’t just about installing solar panels or buying energy-efficient appliances—it starts with how well your home is insulated. One of the most effective ways to reduce your energy consumption and carbon footprint is by installing blanket insulation. At Custom Insulation Company, Inc., we’ve seen firsthand how this simple upgrade can make a big difference in both comfort and sustainability.
Blanket insulation, typically made from fiberglass, mineral wool, or natural fibers, acts as a thermal barrier that keeps indoor temperatures stable throughout the year. By minimizing heat loss during the winter and heat gain in the summer, your heating and cooling systems don’t have to work as hard. This means less energy use, lower utility bills, and fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
Beyond energy efficiency, blanket insulation also contributes to sustainability through its materials and longevity. Many modern insulation products are made with recycled content, reducing the need for new raw materials. Plus, because batt insulation is durable and long-lasting, it rarely needs replacement—further cutting down on waste over time.
A well-insulated home also improves indoor comfort and air quality. Consistent temperatures mean fewer drafts and cold spots, while a properly sealed building envelope helps prevent dust and pollutants from entering your living space. The result is a healthier, more efficient home that’s better for you and the planet.
At Custom Insulation Company, Inc., we’re proud to help homeowners take meaningful steps toward sustainability. Our team specializes in high-quality blanket insulation installations designed to improve your home’s energy performance and environmental impact.

Spray foam insulation has become one of the most effective ways to insulate homes and commercial buildings. But what makes it so efficient? The secret lies in the fascinating science behind how spray foam expands and seals.
When spray foam is applied, two liquid components—polyol resin and isocyanate—mix together at the tip of the spray gun. This chemical reaction causes the mixture to rapidly expand, often up to 30–60 times its original volume. As it expands, the foam fills cracks, gaps, and hard-to-reach spaces that traditional insulation materials can’t cover.
Once it hardens, spray foam creates a continuous air barrier that prevents heat loss, reduces drafts, and blocks moisture infiltration. This airtight seal not only enhances comfort but also improves energy efficiency—helping you save significantly on heating and cooling costs year-round.
There are two main types of spray foam insulation:
At Custom Insulation Company, Inc., our team uses high-quality spray foam materials and proven installation techniques to ensure long-lasting results and maximum energy performance. Whether you’re building new or upgrading your existing insulation, we can help create a more efficient and comfortable environment.

Blanket insulation — whether fiberglass or mineral wool — plays a big role in keeping your home comfortable and energy efficient. But like any building material, insulation doesn’t last forever. Over time, it can lose its effectiveness due to age, moisture, or damage. Knowing when it’s time to replace your insulation can save you from higher energy bills and uncomfortable indoor temperatures.
At Custom Insulation Company, Inc., we help homeowners throughout Massachusetts identify when their blanket insulation needs attention — and replace it with high-quality materials that restore comfort and efficiency. Here are the key signs to look out for:
1. Uneven Temperatures Around the House
If some rooms feel warm while others stay chilly, your insulation may have deteriorated or shifted over time. Uneven temperatures are often a sign that your blanket insulation no longer provides consistent thermal protection.
2. Higher Energy Bills
An unexplained increase in heating or cooling costs often points to poor insulation. When your insulation loses its R-value (its ability to resist heat flow), your HVAC system has to work harder to maintain the right temperature — costing you more money every month.
3. Visible Damage or Moisture
If you can access your attic, basement, or crawl space, check your insulation for signs of water damage, mold, or pests. Moisture can cause fiberglass batts to clump or compress, reducing their effectiveness and creating unhealthy indoor conditions.
4. Drafts or Cold Spots
Feeling a draft near walls, floors, or ceilings? That’s often a sign that your insulation has gaps or voids. Over time, blanket insulation can settle or become displaced, leaving areas exposed to outside air.
5. Age of the Insulation
If your home is more than 15–20 years old and hasn’t had its insulation replaced, it’s likely time for an upgrade. Modern insulation materials are more efficient, environmentally friendly, and longer lasting than older products.
6. Pest Infestation
Rodents and insects can nest in insulation, leaving behind contamination and damage that reduce its performance. If you notice signs of pests, it’s best to have a professional inspection right away.
Replacing old or damaged insulation can dramatically improve your home’s comfort, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality. At Custom Insulation Company, Inc., our experienced team can inspect your existing insulation, identify problem areas, and install high-quality blanket insulation that performs for years to come.

When winter settles in around Central MA, homeowners often face one frustrating and costly issue—ice dams. These ridges of ice that form along the roof’s edge can lead to leaks, water stains, and even structural damage. Fortunately, there’s a reliable way to prevent these problems before they start: spray foam insulation from Custom Insulation Company, Inc.
Ice dams form when warm air from inside your home escapes through gaps and poorly insulated areas in the attic. This rising heat melts snow on the roof, which refreezes at the colder edges, creating ice buildup. Over time, trapped water can seep beneath shingles, damaging your roof, walls, and ceilings.
Spray foam insulation provides a complete air seal, expanding to fill cracks and gaps that traditional insulation materials can’t reach. By preventing heat from escaping into the attic, your roof maintains an even temperature, helping snow melt uniformly—and eliminating the conditions that cause ice dams.
Spray foam does more than just stop ice dams. Its closed-cell structure helps block moisture and condensation, reducing the risk of mold, mildew, and rot. This makes it an excellent year-round defense against water damage, especially in coastal areas where humidity can also be a concern.
At Custom Insulation Company, Inc., we’ve helped homeowners across Central Massachusetts communities stay warm, dry, and energy-efficient through the toughest winters. Our professional spray foam insulation services ensure your home is sealed tight, protected from the elements, and operating at peak efficiency.
Contact Custom Insulation Company, Inc. today to learn how spray foam insulation can prevent ice dams and moisture damage in your Central MA home.
