Spray Foam Insulation in Athens, TN

Athens is a working town up I-75 in McMinn County, and we run the corridor up there regularly. There's a lot of older housing around downtown and plenty of commercial and industrial buildings on the edges — and both have the same issue: they leak air and cost a fortune to heat and cool. Older houses ride the weather all year; big metal buildings bleed money trying to condition wide-open space. That all traces back to an envelope that isn't sealed — and that's what we do.

OLD HOUSE, HIGH BILL

Why Athens homes need spray foam

Those older homes around downtown were built long before air sealing was a thing, so conditioned air leaks straight out the attic while drafts pour in. Fiberglass can't stop it — the air just swaps in and out, and your HVAC never catches up. Open-cell spray foam seals the attic and crawl space, kills the drafts, and gives the system a fighting chance. We'll seal and encapsulate the crawl space too, so damp ground air stops coming up through the floors. For a town that knows hard work, it's a straightforward fix that pays you back every single month on the power bill.

 HOMES AND COMMERCIAL

Homes, warehouses, shops — we handle it all

Athens has more commercial and industrial square footage than most towns its size, and open-cell foam is just as at home there as in a house. We seal older residential attics and crawl spaces, and we spray metal warehouse roofs, shops, and offices to stop condensation and slash the cost of conditioning big space. Mid-century house near downtown or a metal building out by the highway — sealing the envelope is the move.

By applying spray foam directly to the underside of the roof deck, it now insulates the attic space from the extreme heat that once radiated thorough the hot shingles sheathing and roof. The severe temperatures no longer exist in the attic. In short, the attic now becomes a passively "conditioned" space of the house that is just as comfortable as any other room in the home.

Benefits

A roof system insulated with Foametix spray foam reduces energy several ways. Energy loss from ducts located in the attic is essentially eliminated. The top of the building is much tighter resulting in less infiltration and exfiltration, so excess moisture isn't pulled into the attic. Infiltration through the ceiling is also reduced. In addition, the attic temperature is remarkably lower, which further reduces energy loads.

Energy Savings

  • Do you handle commercial buildings in Athens, not just homes?

    Yes — warehouses, shops, and offices are a big part of what we do. Foam on a metal roof stops condensation and slashes the cost of conditioning big space.

  • Athens is up I-75 a ways — do you service it?

    We do — about 50 minutes from our shop, and we run the corridor regularly. Call 423-710-2529.

  • Will foam help an older home that's drafty and expensive?

    That's the core of what we fix. Sealing the attic and crawl space stops the air leaks driving the drafts and the high bills.
