Cozy air pockets in standard insulation materials invites in our creepy crawly friends. Nobody wants a a community of bugs living in the walls. But bugs can squeeze in anywhere, and unless you have spray foam insulation that fills all the cracks and holes in your foundation, you will find them living with you.

From U.S. Department of Energy:

“Liquid foam insulation materials can be sprayed, foamed-in-place, injected, or poured. Their ability to fill even the smallest cavities gives them twice the R-value per inch than traditional batt insulation.”

Again, it’s the expanding that fills in all those spaces.

Expanding foam does what regular materials simply cannot do; it fits exactly the crevices, cracks, and gaps around the studs, pipes, and everything in the basement, walls and attic where it is installed.

What you don’t know about mold, mildew and other nasties can cause you major health problems. Few people understand really how bad it is to have mold in your home. Any moisture or water in the home can be a breeding ground for mold, and traditional materials just doesn’t keep the water out.

It is particularly easy for water to leak into basements and form permanent puddles in out of the way places, which is where mold and mildew thrive.

Apex Foam’s spray foam insulation works excellently well against water and moisture because it expands to fit the space exactly. It doesn’t chip and crack over time. This is the leading cause of mold in basements; it isn’t that the insulation was improperly installed or inadequate, but that it cracked over time. These cracks are how moisture gets in.
