How We Approach a Job Around Dickson

Spray Foam Insulation Dickson insulates and seals houses, crawl spaces, barns and metal buildings in Dickson and the towns around it, from Burns and White Bluff to Charlotte, Fairview, Kingston Springs, Ashland City, Centerville and Waverly. We spray open-cell and closed-cell foam, encapsulate crawl spaces, blow loose fill into attics and remove insulation that has fallen, gotten wet or been soiled by animals.

We look before we quote. A visit usually covers the attic, the crawl space or basement and any shop, barn or metal building you want insulated. In the attic we measure what is there and look for air leaks around lights, pipes, ducts and the hatch. Under the house we check for standing water, wet wood, sagging or fallen batts, open vents and signs of pests. Middle Tennessee's long, humid summers make the crawl space the part of the house we pay the most attention to, because moisture there affects floors, ductwork and indoor air.

Then we put the plan in writing. The quote lists each area, the material, thickness and R-value, and anything that needs fixing first, like a drainage problem or a duct that is leaking into the crawl space. Foam goes where sealing and moisture control matter; blown-in goes where it gives more for the money.

On the day of the job we protect the house, ventilate while foam cures and clean up when we finish. We tell you ahead of time how long to stay out of any sprayed area.
