Spray foam and air sealing for the parts of a Central Iowa building that lose the most heat: attics, rim joists, crawl spaces, basement walls, cathedral ceilings and steel buildings. Each service page explains where the material belongs, where it does not, and what a written scope from us includes.
The icicles are a symptom. The causes are the climate, the age of the houses, and the fact that Iowa's statewide energy code arrived long after most of them were built. Every number below is sourced.
Read the guide →Closed-cell and open-cell spray foam for Des Moines houses, basements, crawl spaces and steel buildings. Scoped for a climate with about 6,180 heating degree days a year, not a generic brochure.
Spray Foam Insulation →Ice dams, frost on the sheathing and a furnace that never rests all trace back to the attic floor. We seal it first, then insulate it to depth.
Attic Insulation & Air Sealing →Cold floors and drafty baseboards usually start at the rim joist and the crawl space below. Closed-cell foam closes both in one visit.
Crawl Space & Rim Joist Insulation →Two different materials for two different jobs. Here is how we decide which one goes where in a Central Iowa building.
Open-Cell vs. Closed-Cell Spray Foam →Steel sweats in an Iowa winter. Closed-cell foam on the roof and walls stops the drip, cuts the noise and makes a shop or shed worth heating.
Pole Barn & Metal Building Spray Foam →Finishing a basement in Des Moines? Closed-cell foam on the foundation wall insulates it, stops ground moisture and keeps the framing behind your drywall dry.
Basement Wall Insulation →Wet, rodent-soiled or century-old insulation does not get better with more on top. We take it out, seal what was leaking, and put the right material back.
Insulation Removal & Replacement →Tell us what the house is doing and we will come look at where the heat is going.
