The attic is a dark and dingy place where you can find some of the largest opportunities to reduce your overall heating and cooling costs. Air sealing your attic with spray foam insulation before you install the proper amount of loose fill fiberglass attic insulation, can help stop most major air leaks and will help maintain the desired temperature throughout your home. This causes your heating & cooling system to work less which saves you money in energy and wear and tear. Combined with adequate amounts of attic insulation, air sealing your attic can help reduce your energy costs and make your home more comfortable.

Most homeowners don't think about the crawl space beneath their home until a problem occurs but it is a very important space that effects the air quality, comfort and overall efficiency of the home. For many years crawl spaces were not insulated at all or were insulated with fibrous materials such as fiberglass rolls & batting, fiberglass basement blankets and fiberglass rigid board at floor level.
If you are having moisture, mildew or draft issues in your crawl space then you are experiencing a very common problem. One of the biggest challenges in building science over the past 40 years is the vented crawl space. Originally designed to allow moisture and humidity out of the crawl space, crawl space vents most often have the opposite effect. In the summertime, crawl space vents tend to allow warm and humid air into your crawl space and when that warm, damp air cools off, condensation can form which causes your crawl space to become damp.
Home weatherization & air sealing is one of the most cost-effective & most often overlooked ways to make a home more comfortable and energy-efficient. Unsealed gaps and cavities in attics and crawl spaces bring unconditioned and unfiltered air into the living space. Sealing these air leaks will not only make your home more comfortable and energy efficient - it'll improve the quality of the air you breathe. Wherever possible, we use environmentally friendly caulks, expanding foam or insulation board, along with good building science to reduce the air infiltration in your home.
Crawl space insulation is often overlooked and most homeowners don't even think about insulating their crawl space until a problem occurs.

Inadequate or improperly installed insulation in your crawl space can lead to higher energy bills, mold growth and moisture problems. On the other hand a properly sealed & insulated crawl space can reduce your heating and cooling costs and make your home more comfortable in any season.

In the winter, insulation helps heat stay in the house longer and in the summer it helps heat stay out longer. In the summer though our attics become ovens due to radiant heat gained from the sun through the course of the day. This radiant heat increases the temperature in the attic and overpowers the insulation during the hottest part of the day. Installing a radiant heat barrier from St Louis Insulation is like having a canopy covering your entire home. It deflects the radiant heat back outside, where it belongs and allows your insulation to "catch up" during the hottest parts of the day.

If you live in a home built more than 30 years ago or have a history of water, insect or wildlife issues there is a good chance that your attic insulation should be removed and replaced with new greener materials which provide better air quality and insulating power. Conventional loose fill and roll out insulation loses its insulating power over time because it relies on small pockets of trapped air. Gravity, dust, moisture, wildlife, waste etc. collapse these pockets over time diminishing the insulating power.
Air sealing your home will help stop air leakage and make your home more comfortable in any climate. If you're looking to maximize your energy savings and reduce your heating and cooling costs then you should consider air sealing your home with spray foam insulation today. While Foam Spray Insulation can be the right insulator it can also be expensive to install inside an existing home. Most companies use high pressure equipment to apply foam which may require that homeowners evacuate their home from 24-48 hours!
