Spray Foam Insulation in Hixson, TN

Hixson is just north of downtown Chattanooga — so if you're in Hamilton County paying too much to heat and cool your home, you've got a local crew right around the corner. Foametix has been sealing up homes and buildings across the Tennessee Valley for more than 15 years, and Hixson is one of the areas we know best.

From older homes near Hixson Pike to newer construction in north Hamilton County, the fix for high bills and uncomfortable rooms is the same: seal the air leaks that fiberglass leaves wide open.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T NOTICE THIS

Why Hixson homes need spray foam

Hixson's close enough to Chickamauga Lake that humidity is a real factor, and that moisture is brutal on a vented crawl space full of old fiberglass — it sags, holds damp, and quits insulating. Meanwhile your conditioned air leaks out up top. Spray foam hits both ends: encapsulate the crawl space so ground moisture stays out, and foam the attic so the cooled air stays in. The payoff is a drier, more even house and a power bill that finally backs off.

WE CAN DO THEM BOTH

Older homes and newer builds — we handle both

Hixson has a real mix: established homes with decades-old insulation, and a lot of newer construction built only to code minimum. Older homes usually need air sealing plus an attic upgrade and often crawl space work. Newer homes are frequently leakier than owners expect, because "meets code" and "actually sealed" aren't the same thing. Either way, we start with a free inspection and tell you exactly where your house is losing money. There are two Hixsons, insulation-wise: the established subdivisions from the '70s through the '90s, where the original insulation is long past done, and the newer builds where "code minimum" leaves more gaps than owners realize. We're in both every week. A quick inspection tells us — and you — exactly where the house is losing air and money.

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

  • Is the crawl space really worth doing in Hixson?

    With the lake humidity around here, frequently yes — encapsulating it makes a real difference in floor warmth, indoor moisture, and air quality.

  • How soon can you come out?

    Fast — we're minutes away down 153. Most inspections happen within a few days of your call.

  • Is Spray Foam more expensive than other types of insulation?

    Totally Depends! The Price of other types of insulation has increased over the last several years.
