Spray foam insulation in Northern Virginia is applied by a professional crew that comes to your home or construction site. First, they remove any existing insulation and cover any surfaces that will not be sprayed (attics, crawl spaces, rim joist in new construction and unfinished walls in pole barns). Next, they set up the spray foam rig that mixes, heats, and sprays the insulation. The crew is trained to mix and spray the exact temperature of foam that will perform best in your building. They also know how to operate the rig properly so that no foam is left behind or not mixed enough.

The Role of Green Earth Spray Foam in Mold and Moisture Prevention

The spray foam rigs used in this industry are large and high-end. This is because the spraying process is very messy and requires a great deal of attention. The crew must wear eye protection and full-coverage clothing. They must also ventilate the area while they work.

Moisture and pollutants that find their way into a home with spray foam insulation have a much harder time escaping due to the foam’s incredible sealing capabilities. When left unchecked, this can lead to mold development and a host of other indoor air quality issues. Remediation costs can easily outweigh any energy savings realized from the insulation project.

The blowing agent in most spray insulations is petroleum-based, a nonrenewable resource that has a very high global warming potential. Some companies are now using soybean-based products, which have a lower GWP and are a renewable resource. These are an excellent alternative to traditional spray foam insulation.
