When it comes to building a structure that stands the test of time, durability is key. That's where spray foam insulation comes in, offering far more than just energy efficiency. At Custom Insulation Company, Inc., we believe in the power of spray foam to enhance the strength and resilience of your building, creating a foundation for long-lasting protection.
Enhanced Structural Integrity: Spray foam insulation expands upon application, filling cracks, gaps, and crevices, which not only improves energy efficiency but also strengthens the structure. The foam adheres directly to surfaces, adding a layer of support to walls, roofs, and floors, making the building more resistant to external stresses like shifting, wind, and vibrations.
Prevents Air and Moisture Infiltration: One of the primary causes of structural damage over time is the infiltration of air and moisture. Spray foam insulation acts as a protective barrier, keeping your building sealed from drafts, water intrusion, and humidity. This prevents mold growth, wood rot, and deterioration of materials, which can compromise the long-term strength of the structure.
Improved Resistance to Weather Extremes: Spray foam insulation is known for its superior ability to withstand extreme temperatures. Whether it's the sweltering heat of summer or freezing winter temperatures, spray foam helps keep your building stable. Its airtight seal minimizes heat loss and prevents the building materials from expanding and contracting with temperature changes, reducing the risk of cracks and damage.
Strengthens Roofs and Ceilings: Roofs and ceilings are some of the most vulnerable parts of a building. Spray foam insulation adds an additional layer of protection by reinforcing the roof structure. The foam helps prevent sagging, cracking, and leaks, which can lead to expensive repairs and compromise the safety of the building. Plus, it adds an extra layer of soundproofing, keeping your space quiet and comfortable.
Long-Term Cost Savings: By adding durability and strength to your building, spray foam insulation ultimately helps save on repair and maintenance costs. Its ability to prevent moisture damage, air infiltration, and temperature fluctuations ensures that your building remains in good condition for years to come, reducing the need for frequent repairs.
With Custom Insulation Company, Inc., you’re investing in more than just insulation. You’re enhancing your building’s durability and strength, ensuring it will stand strong for years to come. Whether you’re constructing a new home or upgrading an existing building, spray foam insulation offers the protection and longevity you need.

Spray foam insulation is one of the most effective ways to enhance your home's energy efficiency, keep your space comfortable, and protect against moisture and air leaks. The good news? Spray foam requires very little maintenance once installed. However, there are still a few simple things you can do to ensure it stays in top condition and continues to perform at its best.
At Custom Insulation Company, Inc., we want to help homeowners keep their spray foam insulation in peak shape. Here’s a quick guide on how to maintain spray foam insulation in your home:
While spray foam insulation is durable, it's important to periodically check its condition. Look for any visible damage or areas where it may have pulled away from the walls or ceiling. This could indicate air leaks or potential issues with the application. If you notice any problems, it’s best to call a professional to assess and address the situation.
Good airflow is essential to prevent moisture buildup and to keep your insulation working efficiently. Make sure your attic, basement, and crawl spaces are properly ventilated. Without proper ventilation, moisture can build up, leading to mold growth or damage to your spray foam insulation.
Over time, small cracks or gaps may appear around doors, windows, or other openings. These can allow air to escape or enter your home, reducing the effectiveness of your insulation. Be proactive about sealing these gaps using caulk or weatherstripping to ensure your home stays energy-efficient.
One of the most significant benefits of spray foam insulation is its ability to prevent moisture from entering your home. However, if there’s excessive humidity or water leakage, it could affect the insulation’s performance. If you notice signs of water damage or excess moisture in areas where spray foam is installed, such as dampness or mold, call a professional to inspect and resolve the issue.
While spray foam is generally durable, it can be damaged by physical impact, heavy equipment, or sharp objects. Avoid storing heavy items or placing unnecessary pressure on the areas where spray foam insulation is installed, especially in attics or crawl spaces. This will prevent the foam from getting crushed or torn, which could lead to gaps in the insulation.
A properly maintained HVAC system helps regulate temperature and humidity in your home, ensuring that your insulation works efficiently. Make sure your system is regularly cleaned and serviced to avoid creating conditions that could negatively impact the performance of your spray foam insulation.
If you spot anything unusual—like sagging, discoloration, or a decrease in the effectiveness of your insulation—don’t hesitate to call the experts at Custom Insulation Company, Inc.. Our team can help identify any underlying problems and provide necessary repairs or upgrades to restore your insulation’s performance.
At Custom Insulation Company, Inc., we specialize in spray foam insulation installation and maintenance. If you have any questions or concerns about your insulation, or if you’re noticing issues with performance, reach out to our team for expert advice and services.

When it comes to insulating your home or commercial space, spray foam insulation can be a game-changer in terms of energy efficiency, comfort, and noise reduction. However, while the idea of a DIY spray foam installation might seem tempting to save a few bucks, there are several common mistakes that can lead to costly repairs and poor performance. At Custom Insulation Company, Inc., we’ve seen it all. Here are some of the most frequent DIY spray foam insulation mistakes and why it’s essential to rely on professionals for a job done right.
Spray foam requires careful preparation and the correct mixture for optimal performance. Without the right equipment, such as high-quality spray guns, DIYers often end up with uneven coverage, gaps, or overspraying. Incorrect application can lead to insulation that doesn’t adhere properly or forms bubbles that eventually deteriorate. Professionals are equipped with the right tools and training to ensure a smooth and even application every time.
One of the major advantages of spray foam insulation is its ability to expand and fill small crevices. However, if it’s applied too thin or too thick, it can lead to problems with energy efficiency and could even affect the structural integrity of your home. Professionals understand the precise coverage needed to achieve optimal thermal performance, ensuring that your home stays comfortable year-round.
Spray foam insulation releases chemicals during the application process, which can be hazardous if inhaled in high concentrations. Without proper ventilation and personal protective equipment (PPE), DIYers risk exposing themselves and others to harmful fumes. A professional insulation company will have the necessary safety protocols in place to protect both you and your home during installation.
DIYers might miss areas where insulation is needed the most or improperly assess the R-value required for their specific location. Professionals have the expertise to evaluate your property’s insulation needs, ensuring that all areas, from attics to crawl spaces, are properly insulated to meet local building codes and energy efficiency standards.
Improper spray foam application can damage walls, floors, and other building materials. For example, overspray can cause foam to stick where it’s not intended, resulting in costly repairs. Professionals are skilled in handling the application process to ensure no damage is done to your home or commercial property.
Spray foam insulation acts as an airtight barrier, but if not applied correctly, it can trap moisture inside the walls. This can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and other moisture-related issues that could have been avoided with proper installation. A professional will ensure that the insulation allows for proper airflow while maintaining a vapor barrier to prevent moisture buildup.
Spray foam insulation materials come with specific guidelines for proper installation. DIYers often overlook these instructions, leading to poor performance and even voiding manufacturer warranties. When you hire Custom Insulation Company, Inc., we ensure that all manufacturer instructions are followed precisely, so your insulation performs as expected and you’re covered under warranty.
The installation of spray foam insulation is not a one-size-fits-all process. It requires expertise to ensure that the job is done correctly the first time. By hiring a professional team like Custom Insulation Company, Inc., you can avoid the risks and headaches associated with DIY insulation and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home or business is properly insulated for years to come.
Don’t risk the performance or safety of your insulation. Trust the experts at Custom Insulation Company, Inc. to handle your spray foam insulation needs with precision and care.

At Custom Insulation Company, Inc., we believe in providing solutions that not only improve your home’s comfort but also protect its long-term health. One of the key benefits of spray foam insulation is its ability to prevent mold and mildew growth—two common problems that can damage both your home and your health.
Here’s how spray foam insulation helps you stay mold-free:
Spray foam insulation creates an airtight seal that fills cracks, gaps, and holes in walls, ceilings, and floors. This barrier prevents moisture-laden air from entering your home and condensation from forming on surfaces, both of which can contribute to mold and mildew growth.
Unlike traditional fiberglass insulation, spray foam is moisture-resistant. Its closed-cell structure (in closed-cell foam) and dense composition prevent water from penetrating and accumulating in hidden spaces like attics, crawl spaces, and walls, where mold thrives. Even in areas with higher humidity levels, spray foam keeps your home safe from potential water damage.
Mold and mildew thrive in areas of high humidity. Spray foam insulation helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures and minimizes the chance of moisture accumulation by reducing airflow and temperature fluctuations. With spray foam, you create a more stable, dry environment that mold simply can’t survive in.
Spray foam’s durability means it will continue to protect your home for years to come. It’s a permanent solution to mold and mildew issues, unlike temporary fixes like dehumidifiers or mold-killing sprays. Spray foam helps to maintain your home’s health and integrity, even in the most vulnerable areas.
Mold and mildew can contribute to poor indoor air quality, leading to allergies, respiratory issues, and discomfort. By sealing out moisture, spray foam insulation creates a cleaner, healthier living environment—free from the airborne spores that mold produces.
When you choose spray foam insulation from Custom Insulation Company, Inc., you're not only improving your home's energy efficiency but also protecting it from the harmful effects of mold and mildew. Spray foam creates a dry, stable, and healthy indoor environment that lasts for years, giving you peace of mind.

At Custom Insulation Company, Inc., we know that pests are more than just a nuisance—they can cause serious damage to your home. But did you know that spray foam insulation could be the solution to keeping unwanted critters at bay?
Spray foam insulation is not just about energy efficiency and temperature regulation; it can also serve as a powerful barrier against pests. Here’s how:
Spray foam expands as it’s applied, filling even the tiniest gaps and cracks in your walls, floors, and ceilings. These small entry points are where pests like ants, rodents, and insects love to sneak in. By sealing these openings, spray foam creates a tight barrier that pests simply can’t penetrate.
Certain pests, like rodents and termites, can chew through traditional insulation materials, but spray foam’s dense structure makes it virtually impossible to penetrate. Whether it's a mouse trying to gnaw its way through or a termite looking for softwood, spray foam stands strong as a protective shield.
Many pests are attracted to damp, humid environments, which are often found in basements, crawlspaces, and attics. Spray foam insulation acts as a moisture barrier, preventing water from seeping into your home and reducing the likelihood of pests like mold, mildew, and termites moving in.
Unlike traditional insulation that may degrade over time, spray foam is incredibly durable and maintains its shape and efficiency for years. This means your pest protection is long-lasting, offering peace of mind knowing that your home is safeguarded from critters year after year.
One of the best things about spray foam is that it’s safe for both your home and the environment. Unlike chemical pest control methods, spray foam provides a natural, non-toxic solution to pest prevention.
Spray foam insulation is not only a smart choice for improving your home’s energy efficiency, but it can also help protect your home from unwanted pests. By sealing gaps, providing moisture control, and creating a durable barrier, spray foam insulation can keep your living space safe, comfortable, and pest-free.

When it comes to creating a peaceful, quiet living environment, soundproofing is key. Whether you're trying to block out the noise of traffic, loud neighbors, or a busy household, spray foam insulation can be a game-changer. At Custom Insulation Company, Inc., we specialize in spray foam solutions that not only improve energy efficiency but also provide significant soundproofing benefits.
Here’s how spray foam insulation can help reduce noise and make your home a quieter place to live:
Spray foam insulation works by expanding to fill every nook and cranny in your walls, ceilings, and floors. This expansion creates a solid, airtight barrier that blocks noise from traveling through gaps and cracks. Whether it's airborne sounds like music, voices, or traffic noise, spray foam effectively prevents them from entering your space, keeping your home quieter.
Unlike traditional fiberglass insulation, spray foam has the ability to absorb and dampen sound waves. Its dense and flexible structure helps absorb vibrations and reduce sound transmission between rooms. This is especially helpful in areas like bedrooms, home offices, or media rooms, where peace and quiet are crucial for relaxation or concentration.
In multi-story homes or buildings with multiple levels, spray foam insulation can help prevent sound from traveling between floors. By sealing up gaps in the floors and walls, spray foam minimizes footstep noise, loud conversations, and the rumble of appliances moving between levels. This is particularly important in apartment-style living or homes with hard flooring like hardwood or tile.
Not only does spray foam insulation reduce unwanted external noise, but it also improves the overall acoustics inside your home. By filling the gaps where sound can leak, spray foam helps create a more acoustically balanced space, making your home more comfortable for both listening and conversation.
For homeowners who want to create the ultimate home theater or sound recording studio, spray foam insulation is a must. Its superior soundproofing qualities help keep audio in and outside noise out, creating a controlled environment perfect for enjoying music, movies, or recordings without distraction.
When it comes to reducing noise and enhancing comfort, spray foam insulation is a powerful and effective solution. At Custom Insulation Company, Inc., we specialize in providing high-quality spray foam insulation that not only improves your home’s energy efficiency but also helps you enjoy a quieter, more peaceful environment.
