Spray Foam Insulation in Chickamauga, GA

Chickamauga's a historic little town in Walker County, and we're down there regularly. A lot of these homes have stood for generations — beautiful, but airtight they are not. The owners all tell us the same thing: drafty in winter, muggy in summer, and the HVAC runs constantly without ever getting it right. That's an old house leaking air through the attic and pulling damp up from the crawl space — and we can seal it without touching the character.

OLD CHARM, OLD LEAKS

Why Chickamauga homes need spray foam

Homes from that era leak heat through the attic and pull humid air up from open crawl spaces, so they're drafty and muggy at the same time no matter how hard the system works. Fiberglass can't seal any of that. Open-cell spray foam goes in the attic and crawl space — out of sight — and seals the shell from the inside, so you keep the look of the home and lose the drafts. We'll seal and encapsulate the crawl space too, which is usually what kills the musty, humid feeling for good. You get even, comfortable rooms and a lower bill, and nobody walking up to the house can tell a thing changed.

HOMES AND OUTBUILDINGS

Homes, buildings, shops — we handle it all

Around Chickamauga we seal older homes, the downtown and church buildings a small historic town is full of, and the barns, shops, and metal buildings out toward the country. Open-cell foam adapts to all of it — air-sealing an old attic without a gut job, drying a crawl space, or turning a bare metal building into usable space. We start by showing you exactly where it's losing money, then we seal it.

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

  • Will spray foam mess with the character of my older Chickamauga home?

    No — it goes in the attic and crawl space, out of sight. You keep the look of the house and gain the comfort and lower bills.

  • My old house is drafty and humid at the same time — how?

     Old homes leak both ways: conditioned air out, attic and crawl space air in. Open-cell foam seals both, which fixes the drafts and the muggy feeling together.
