Spray Foam Insulation in Dunlap, TN

Dunlap sits in the Sequatchie Valley where summer heat and winter cold hit hard — and most homes in the area are still running on old fiberglass that was never enough to begin with. If your upstairs rooms are hot in July or your power bill spikes every season, the insulation is the problem. Foametix serves Dunlap and all of Sequatchie County from our Chattanooga headquarters, just a short drive up the valley. We insulate attics, crawl spaces, walls, and metal buildings with spray foam that seals the air leaks fiberglass leaves wide open. One crew handles everything — evaluation, removal of old insulation if needed, and installation — typically in a single day.

VALLEY HEAT, VALLEY BILLS

Why Dunlap homes need spray foam

The valley funnels heat in summer and holds cold air in winter, and the fiberglass in most Dunlap homes was barely enough when it went in 30 years ago. It's settled since then, and the crawl spaces were left vented and open — pulling moisture up into the floors year-round. Spray foam seals the attic tight and encapsulates the crawl space so the house stops fighting the valley. Comfort levels out, the musty smell goes away, and the power bill finally makes sense.

HOMES, FARMS, AND METAL BUILDINGS

Valley homes, barns, and shops — we seal them all

Dunlap and Sequatchie County are a mix of older homes along Highway 28, farmhouses out in the county, and metal buildings of every size. We handle all of it — attic and crawl space work for homes, closed-cell foam for metal shops and barns. We start with a free look at the whole property and tell you exactly what it'll take to fix 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 through 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.

  • Do you service Chickamauga?

    Yes — it's a short drive south into Walker County and we're there regularly. Call 423-710-2529.
