RETROFIT INSULATION




Insulation Assessment
We assess the state of any previously installed insulation. In most cases, this insulation will need to be removed. Omaha Spray Foam removes and installs spray foam, fiberglass and cellulose so our professionals are fully capable of handling the entire process for you.
During the process of residential retrofitting, our experts take care to note how the home’s ventilation system and building envelope are interacting. Your house’s building envelope refers to the physical barrier separating the external unconditioned surroundings from the internal conditioned surroundings.
The state of the building envelope depends on various factors like the property’s age, remodeling processes, and general wear and tear. In some cases, the ventilation equipment might actually be working against this barrier. For older homes, you might have to commission complete insulation overall. And even get a wiring system upgrade.
Another reason for upgrading your insulation is updated code requirements. However, regardless of the reason for understanding the nature of the project, the systems already in place, and how the environments are interacting with one another is essential. The experts at Omaha Spray Foam know what products are best suited to each situation and which areas need upgrading.
The best method is to overlap different renovation processes. For example, of new windows need to be installed the contractor and insulation expert can work together to provide a hundred percent air sealing. If you want to improve the curb appeal of your property you can use this as a prime opportunity to also make your home energy efficient.
