Spray foam insulation has become one of the most popular choices for Vermont homeowners looking to create a more comfortable and energy-efficient living space. But spray foam’s true performance depends on more than the product itself — it requires a professional spray foam installation with careful attention to moisture control, ventilation, and long-term durability.
At Vermont Foam Insulation, we’ve built our reputation and our business on doing spray foam insulation applications the right way, ensuring every project is set up for lasting success.
Spray Foam Application Starts with Moisture Control
Moisture is the biggest enemy of building materials in New England’s challenging climate. In fact, improper moisture management is responsible for the majority of building failures. That’s why before any spray foam application, our team thoroughly inspects your home for signs of existing or potential water issues.
We check for:
- Damp or exposed earth in crawl spaces
- Leaking or unwaterproofed foundations
- Poor exterior grading around the home
- Fieldstone or older foundations that are prone to seepage
By resolving these issues first, we make sure your vapor barrier insulation installation and spray foam project are built on a dry, stable foundation. Spray foam itself doesn’t create moisture, but it does create a highly effective air seal, which is why it’s critical to address any underlying problems before we insulate.
Why Vermont Homes with Spray Foam Need Proper Ventilation
A successful spray foam insulation application doesn’t stop at moisture management. Once the building envelope is sealed tight, your home needs a reliable way to bring in fresh air and exhaust humidity. That’s where proper ventilation comes in.
As part of our process, we assess your current ventilation systems and make improvements when needed. For example, we often reroute bathroom exhaust fans that vent into attics, adding ductwork so they vent outside. For some homes, we recommend advanced solutions like a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) to ensure balanced, whole-home airflow.
Good ventilation keeps air fresh, protects against hidden condensation, and helps your spray foam insulation perform at its best for decades.
The Benefits of Professional Spray Foam Installation
When done right, spray foam insulation offers benefits far beyond traditional insulation:
- Energy Efficiency: Airtight insulation reduces drafts and lowers heating and cooling costs.
- Comfort: Even indoor temperatures, fewer cold spots, and a healthier indoor environment.
- Durability: With the right vapor barrier insulation installation, your home’s structure stays dry and protected.
- Longevity: Professionally installed spray foam resists sagging, settling, and moisture damage for years to come.
By choosing Vermont Foam Insulation, you’re partnering with a local team that understands how to combine spray foam application with moisture control and ventilation strategies tailored to Vermont’s climate.
