Residential Spray Foam Insulation
Residential Spray Foam Insulation In Chatham, Ontario
We do houses too. Attics, crawl spaces, basement walls, rim joists and new builds throughout Chatham-Kent.
The same principle applies as on a farm building: sealing the air paths matters as much as the insulation value, and in a lot of houses it matters more.

Residential Spray Foam Insulation details
Rim Joists Are The Best Value In The House
The rim joist is the band of framing where the floor meets the foundation wall, and it is usually the leakiest part of a house.
It is also small. A few hours of closed-cell foam seals the whole perimeter.
For most houses this is the cheapest meaningful improvement available, and it is the one we recommend first when somebody has a limited budget and cold floors.
It matters in Chatham-Kent particularly, because damp coming up out of a crawl space or basement finds its way into the floor assembly right there.
Crawl Spaces And Basement Walls
We sit on low, flat ground between two lakes, with a high water table across much of the municipality.
That makes crawl spaces the wettest part of a lot of local houses, and it makes closed-cell the only sensible product down there. Open-cell would let moisture straight through to the framing.
Sealing crawl space walls and the header rather than the floor above brings the space inside the building envelope, which stops the cold floor problem properly.
Any active water problem gets fixed first. Foam over a leak hides it and makes it worse.
Attics
Attic work splits into two approaches and they are not interchangeable.
Insulating the attic floor keeps the attic cold and vented, which is the conventional approach and usually the cheaper one.
Insulating the underside of the roof deck brings the attic inside the envelope, which suits houses with ductwork or mechanicals up there.
Ontario's Home Renovation Savings program currently offers $800 to $1,250 on a standalone attic upgrade with no energy assessment required, but the attic has to reach R-50 or better to qualify. The program is funded to 30 November 2026. Check the current terms, and we will tell you what your attic would need.
New Construction
Spraying during construction is the easiest version of this job, because everything is open and accessible.
It also lets the whole envelope be designed around the foam rather than worked around afterwards.
We coordinate with your builder on sequencing, since foam goes in after rough-in and before drywall, and the covering requirement is part of that conversation.
Getting us in early usually costs less and performs better than retrofitting the same house later.

What We Install
Other Buildings We Insulate
Chatham Spray Foam Insulation works on farm, commercial and residential buildings throughout Chatham-Kent.
Greenhouse and Growing Facility Insulation
Chatham-Kent holds more than 20 million square feet of greenhouse, the second largest concentration in Ontario. Growing facilities are a specialist insulation job and we treat them as one.

Shop, Machine Shed and Pole Barn Insulation
The most common building we are asked about. Somebody wants to heat a shop through the winter without the cost being absurd, or wants the dripping from the roof to stop.

Livestock and Poultry Barn Insulation
Animal housing is the most demanding insulation environment on a farm. Stock generate constant heat and a great deal of moisture, and ventilation moves it onto every cold surface in the building.

Commercial and Cold Storage Insulation
Chatham-Kent's agri-food sector moves an enormous amount of produce through packing, grading and cold storage. Those buildings live or die on their envelope.

Closed-Cell Spray Foam
Closed-cell is the product behind almost every agricultural and commercial job we do. Dense, rigid, and a vapour barrier as well as an insulator.

Open-Cell Spray Foam
Open-cell is the lighter, softer, cheaper spray foam. It expands much further than closed-cell, seals air just as effectively, and costs roughly half as much per board foot.

Failed Spray Foam Removal and Replacement
If your foam smells, has shrunk away from the framing, or is crumbling, it was installed badly. It can be put right, but not by spraying over it.
