Can spray foam really help in an older house?
Absolutely. Older homes often suffer from poor insulation, drafty windows, and leaky attics or crawlspaces. Spray foam insulation seals those gaps better than traditional materials. It’s like giving your home a warm blanket that also blocks out moisture and pests.
Will I really save money on energy bills with spray foam?
Yes. Homeowners with older homes can often see 20–50% savings on heating and cooling bills after installing spray foam. That’s because it creates an airtight seal, which stops heat from escaping in the winter and keeps cool air in during the summer. The investment pays for itself over time.
What are the biggest insulation issues in older homes?
Most older homes weren’t built with energy efficiency in mind. Here’s what we usually find:
-
Uninsulated attics or crawl spaces
-
Wall cavities with failing or outdated insulation
-
Air leaks around doors, windows, and foundation Spray foam is ideal for filling those gaps—even in hard-to-reach areas.
Can I add spray foam to my home without major renovations?
Yes! One of the best parts about spray foam is that it can be applied without gutting your walls. Our team at Quirozave Spray Foam can access attics, basements, rim joists, and crawlspaces easily. In some cases, injection foam can be used in finished walls too.
How long does spray foam insulation last in an older home?
Spray foam insulation can last 30+ years when installed correctly. That means once you upgrade, you’re set for decades—no reapplying like with fiberglass batts or blown-in insulation.
