Central Spray Foam and Cement Lifting can add value to your home, but it’s important to know its limitations and risks before investing in this premium product. The insulation is formed on-site, which can cause off-gassing that can be hazardous for the homeowner and any household members. The National Insulation Association recommends that the area be off-limits to family members and that protective gear, including gloves, goggles, breathing apparatuses, and full-body coverings is worn during the application process.

Enhancing Energy Efficiency: The Role of Spray Foam Insulation

If you’re confident in your skills and would like to tackle the project yourself, DIY spray foam insulation kits are available. They typically include the foam and the necessary machinery for spraying at a cost of around $400 or $800. However, spray foam is messy and gives off volatile organic compounds as it dries, so you’ll need to rent additional equipment for cleanup, purchase plastic sheeting for protection of furniture and belongings, and wear protective gear.

Hiring a professional contractor is usually the best option, as they can apply the insulation more evenly to prevent sagging or swelling. In addition, they can ensure that the spraying meets applicable building codes.

Spray foam insulation seals the home to eliminate air leaks, which saves energy and cuts down on maintenance costs. The investment may seem high at first, but the savings from lower bills and fewer repairs more than make up for it.
