Spray Foam Insulation Helps Reduce Moisture and Mold

3. Spray Foam Insulation Helps Reduce Moisture and Mold

In order to reproduce, molds need tiny spores. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, and foods and there’s no practical way to remove them in the indoor environments except when you contain moisture through sealing your home effectively. Most homeowners today insulate their homes to not only bar air from coming in and out but to protect it from elements like molds, rodents, moisture and dust.

When there is so much moisture or when water accumulates indoors, mold growth will often take place especially when moisture problems remain undiscovered or not addressed. In order to prevent moisture inside your home, spray foam insulation should be installed. While there are a number of insulation materials available today, spray foam insulation is one of the best insulation types since its sturdy, crawls into spaces and can last for a lifetime.

When warm air comes in contact with cool surfaces, it condenses and stays there. This could result to mold growth, mildew build up and structural weakness for your home or building. Spray foam insulation minimizes moisture-related problems caused by random air leakage because it fills all the cracks and crevices where air enters.

Spray foam insulation can effectively seal roofs and other spaces where condensation is more likely. With Spray foam insulation, you can’t only save money with energy cost but maintain the integrity of your home because molds and other outside elements can’t possibly thrive inside.

How Does Spray Foam Insulation Prevent Mold?

Most people realize that moisture and mold can cause health problems and serious damage in your house. Based on the New York Times, mold can result in health problems that include:

Sneezing & coughing
Allergic reactions
Irreversible lung damage

Obviously, nobody wants to risk their health, or that of family members. What’s worse is that if your home goes unprotected against mold for too long, the removal process can cost thousands of dollars. You don’t even have to see the mold growing to be affected by it.
Because of the excellent air sealing properties of spray foam insulation, moisture is less likely to enter your home. This reduces the risk of mold, as well as the risks of rot and structural damage that accompany water infiltration.

  • They just finished up yesterday!! The team was GREAT. I cannot wait to see the money I will be saving. There is no question I will have them come back and insulate my basement (once I put up the 2 x 4 studs in place). I went above my garage space after they finished and the temp. dropped by at least 20 degrees. I give them thumbs up and I am telling everyone how great the Freedom Foam Insulators Team are to work with and how great the product is working at my house.
