Locally owned & operated. Serving DC, MD, VA, WV. Free estimates & inspections for pest control, wildlife removal, and insulation services.

"I hired EPC for a mouse problem. I did sign a contract agreeing to you for additional treatments at $105 each. Unbeknownst to me at the signing of the contract my dishwasher is bolted to my kitchen counter and cannot be moved so the exterminator cannot seal the hole. I sent environmental Pest Control an email stating that was the reason why I wanted to discontinue my service and if they felt necessary to turn me over to collections. Instead they decided to go behind my back and deduct two treatments for total of $210 to my account. No one even had the courtesy to send me an emai. The owner has ghosted me I have turned it into my bank and it's fully expect a refund. I would never hire this group of incompetent help again."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Yes. You should insulate behind shower walls to help stave off heat loss. In other words, it’ll keep the shower or tub from getting too cold. Nothing ruins bath time like stepping into a freezing cold bathroom. Not insulating and air sealing the walls behind the shower allows heat to escape easily, which opens the area up to the elements. 

Exposed ductwork can sweat just like ductwork placed behind walls, sometimes even more so. Ductwork sweats—like a cold drink on a hot day—because of a temperature imbalance between the air in the duct and the air in the room. In a crawl space or wall, this temperature can equalize faster due to the small space but in lofts and open rooms, that wouldn’t happen as quickly. Many people insulate their ducts for this reason.

The life span of insulation is between 20 and 100 years. At that time, existing insulation can fall victim to gravity, resulting in compression, which reduces its insulating protection or R-value. If you can't simply add more insulation over the existing material, removing the old to increase the effectiveness of the new can reduce your energy bills and make the project worth the time and money investment.

The average U.S. homeowner pays $1,850 to insulate their home. However, the cost of insulation depends on the type, the size of your home, and who does the installation work. 

The cost of foam board insulation depends on whether it's made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) or extruded polystyrene (XPS). EPS has the lower price point, usually costing between $0.25 and $0.50 per board foot, while XPS costs between $0.40 and $0.50 per board foot.

Because of the moisture concern, open-cell foam requires a vapor barrier. The barrier protects against high humidity and moisture exposure in rooms such as basements, bathrooms, or exterior walls. It wouldn't be necessary in dry interior spaces.
