"FoamCo recently insulated our basement walls. Before, we couldn’t use the basement in the winter time. We noticed an immediate difference once the insulation went in, and now our basement is our favorite cozy hangout spot in the house. They were great at explaining exactly what kind of insulation I needed and were actually the best priced bid we got."

"The BATH UPSTAIRS had a window that needing bracing, a bath that had black mold behind the horrible VINYL wall, and had to be insulated with MOISTURE proof materials and RE-TILED - the walls, under the window and behind the tub and around the laundry chute opening. The Downstairs Bath also needed the window braced and tiled as it was falling and splitting from the ceiling due to POOR WORKMANSHIP by someone NOT on Angies List back in 2003!! SO, Siding Repair Systems - They did it all, with their contractor Thomas Morton. What a really fantastic job - on BOTH these Bathroom windows, Tiling and securing/supporting. EXCELLENT WORK!! Clean and neat - it looked like they had a MAID SERVICE come in and clean up after them. Honestly. So neat and clean they were. Thanks for a Really good job. "

"Roberto was the technician and he was very professional, polite, and personable. He inspected the rest of our system and told us things that needed to be changed or repaired. He showed me pictures of everything. Everything he told me about was accurate. He quoted me a price for R38 insulation , Some of our ducts were plastic and he recommended them to be changed. I agreed completely and didn't know they were plastic. I would have had them done the work but I had no price comparisons to make and besides I didn't have the money right then. So he just finished the vent cleaning and left his card. He did a great job on the vent cleaning and was happy with the work."
"I recently had the pleasure of working with Middle Water LLC for spray foam insulation on a client's home and was thoroughly impressed by their professionalism and quality of work. The team consistently showed up on time and adhered strictly to the bid they provided, showcasing their commitment to reliability and integrity. Their dedication and work ethic, particularly the impressive contributions from the hardworking Amish labor, were remarkable. Based on this experience, I have confidently referred Middle Water LLC to another client, who is now planning to use their services as well. The excellent job they did, combined with their punctuality and adherence to the bid, make them a standout choice for insulation services. I am so satisfied with their work that I intend to use them for my own home, which I plan to build in the near future. Middle Water LLC has earned my highest recommendation for anyone seeking top-notch spray foam insulation for their home or business."
Most insulation lasts 15 to 20 years, but it really depends on the type of insulation. Spray foam is a permanent insulation material that can last up to 100 years. Fiberglass and cellulose typically settle, shift, or deteriorate around 15 years. Once your insulation reaches the 15-year mark, it's time to check it for signs of needing to be replaced.
The time required for insulation installation can range from a few hours to a few days, with most projects taking 1-3 days to complete. The final duration depends on the project's size and complexity, the area size, and the type of insulation being installed.
R-value stands for resistance value and is a number assigned to insulation that states how good the insulation is at heat transference (insulation). The R-value of injection foam is around 4 which homeowners will be happy to know is actually quite good. Another benefit of injection foam versus fiberglass foam is that the colder it gets, the more injection foam retains its resistance properties, whereas fiberglass tends to lose its efficiency in colder temperatures.
The R-value is a rating that measures an insulation's thermal resistance—in other words, how well it insulates. A higher R-value provides more protection for your pipes, and all pipe insulation materials should have an R-value listed on the product description or label. Each insulation type has its own R-value, which typically falls between one and five for most pipe insulation. When making a selection, Energy.gov recommends choosing a pipe wrap that is at least one inch thick, and the International Code Council (ICC) suggests choosing a material with an R-value of at least 3.
Asbestos has many beneficial properties, including fire resistance, strength, and chemical resistance. It is also an excellent insulator, which is why it was used in pipe insulation and other building materials for decades. For all its benefits, asbestos is dangerous for human health, which is why it was eventually banned from use in certain products.
