Why DIY Insulation Is A Bad Idea

Homeowners often don’t understand the importance of contacting an insulation expert and take on installing insulation by themselves. But something as important as insulation, working with a professional is crucial and here is why.

Installing something such as spray foam insulation is much more difficult than what meets the eye. It may look like a simple task from what you see on a YouTube video, but here’s why it’s not.

Knowledge & Experience: No matter what home remodeling project you are working through, there are usually a few factors that make each project different from another. Chances are that you could miss something or miss a key area that needs insulating.

Right Tools: A professional has all of the top tier tools and machinery needed for the best possible insulation process.  DIY’ers don’t have these tools which will certainly result in a sub part finished product.

Tricks of the Trade: Insulation creates a thermal barrier between the outdoors and indoors. Professional insulation companies on top of this also focus on making sure their is adequate air flow. They simply go above and beyond installing insulation and can thorough discern what other factors need to be altered to maximize optimal insulation efficiency.

Proper Inspection: As a DIY’er it’s difficult to get a full gauge of what is wrong in terms of insulation. A professional can detect infestation, mold and mildew growth along with potential structural damage as well. Only a professional can search and find these issues.
