Spray Foam Insulation in Raleigh NC

Protect your home, and your wallet!

Spray foam insulation doesn’t just insulate your home like traditional insulation products such as fiberglass or cellulose. Spray foam insulation insulates and seals air leaks.

Air sealing prevents air from inside your home from escaping through the cracks and crevices in your home. These penetration points can be tiny – so small they may not be visible. These penetration points result from the construction process – installing electrical wires, can lights, duct work, attic access doors, plumbing stacks and more.

Sealing air leaks keeps conditioned air inside your home (air you’ve already paid to heat or cool).

Why invest in spray foam insulation?

With so many ways homeowners can spend money on their home, why should you invest in spray foam insulation? Here are just a few reasons:

Spray Foam Seals Leaks

Sealing air leaks and adding proper mechanical ventilation to a home can increase your indoor air quality. Air leakage (outside air that enters a house uncontrollably through cracks and openings) is not the same as ventilation. Sealing these leaks and properly ventilating your home creates healthier indoor air.

Spray Foam Improves Air Quality

Is your house built on a crawl space? Insulating and sealing your crawl space with foam insulation can dramatically improve the air quality inside your home. As your home naturally breathes air from your crawl space moves up into your home, bringing with it contaminants such as mold and pest debris with it. Sealing your crawl space will keep those pests out of your home.

Metal Building Insulation

Have a metal building that needs insulation? Spray foam insulation is a great solution. It can easily be installed to the building’s interior to maintain indoor temperature. Spray foam can also increase the strength of your metal building, helping defend it against high winds and more.

Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation vs Traditional Insulation

Let’s start with the biggest reason: Spray foam insulation from LiveGreen can save you money in more ways than one!

Unlike traditional insulation, spray foam insulates and seals air leaks, immediately making your home more energy efficient by stopping air exfiltration– or thermal transfer. One of your biggest bills is paying to heat and cool your home, but because of small leak points- some not even visible- a lot of that costly interior air leaks out of cracks and crevices around electrical outlets, lighting, windows, doors, ductwork and other penetration points. When you install closed cell spray polyurethane foam insulation (SPF), it seals those air leaks, preventing the loss of air you’ve already paid to heat or cool.

Spray foam insulation also improves your comfort. As mentioned, it seals air leaks so no more drafty corners or cold spots in your home. Because air infiltration- or outside air leaking in- can also cause condensation as well as cold spots, that could lead to mold issues. When you seal those air leaks by installing spray foam insulation, you reduce the risk of moisture problems. And you get the added benefit of reducing allergens like dust or pollen coming into your home from air permeating in, so you enjoy better air quality as a result.

Can spray foam insulation help reduce outside noise?

Bothered by outside noise? Spray foam insulation offers a superior sound barrier for better noise control than traditional insulation. And when used on interior walls, SPF can reduce sound transmission between rooms. So when you lay down for a peaceful night’s sleep, or settle in to concentrate on a project or good book, you can actually enjoy peace and quiet, with less noise bleeding in from outside the home or from adjoining rooms.

Spray Foam (SPF) also saves you money by providing better durability than traditional insulation options. Traditional insulation materials like fiberglass or cellulose can break down over time. It can settle or sag, becoming less effective and allowing moisture in, which can lead to mold and mildew issues. SPF on the other hand is highly durable, designed to last for years and years, and offers superior protection for your home that you can count on, and that future buyers will appreciate.

And because SPF helps improve structural integrity, using spray foam insulation actually reinforces your structure by creating a stronger bond between walls and ceilings.

Where can you use spray foam insulation?

Another selling point of spray foam insulation is its versatility: Most folks think of insulation as a barrier between the roof and attic of a structure, and SPF certainly shines in that application, providing an air tight insulating layer that helps protect your comfort and reduce your energy bills.

SPF can also be used inside exterior walls, between interior walls, as well as to insulate the spaces behind walls and underneath flooring. When you incorporate spray foam insulation from LiveGreen, you’re basically getting an airtight seal around your rooms and home to enhance your comfort and cost-savings year round.

Spray Foam Insulation FAQs

Spray foam insulation, or SPF, is made by mixing polyurethane and isocyanate to form an expanding polyurethane foam. Once sprayed into an area, it quickly expands to fill any space or gaps, making it the perfect insulation choice to fill large areas and create tight seals.

The beauty of using spray foam insulation is that unlike some conventional insulation materials, spray foam never loses its shape. Not only does spray foam expand on installation to fill gaps and cracks where there could be air leakage and drafts, but it stays there: spray foam insulation doesn't settle, compress or sag over time.

Because spray foam insulation provides an air-tight seal, it helps prevent condensation from getting into your walls where it could create mold or mildew issues.Condensation occurs when there’s a big temperature difference between outside and inside your home- for instance, when you’re running the heat or AC inside to counteract the temperatures outside. When those conflicting temperatures meet, condensation is formed. If you have air leakage in your walls, that’s where that condensation can form and collect, causing mold and mildew issues.

Because spray foam forms a tighter air seal than conventional insulation, it stops the outside air from coming in contact with the treated inside air, so it prevents condensation from forming.

Here’s what you can expect when you hire Live Green to install spray foam insulation in your house, if it’s replacing existing insulation: First, our team will come to your home and remove the old insulation. Then our crews prep the area where the foam is going to be sprayed, depending on where it will be applied. For instance, if it’s under the house or in the attic, we make sure any items in the crawlspace are moved to the center of the space and covered with a protective layer of plastic.

Then we run a delivery hose from our high-tech rig to the area being insulated. We then spray the foam directly into the desired areas, making sure the foam mix and temperature is exactly right for the area we’re working in.


Once the job is completed, our crew then uncovers and returns any items in the area to where they were originally, and cleans up the area behind them so you’re just left with comfortable, energy efficient results! Visit our online gallery to see some examples of Live Green projects we’ve done for our customers.

We’re glad you asked! Because of its air-tight capability and superior protection against air leakage and drafts, spray foam insulation is a valuable addition to a range of structures- we’ve even installed it in Sprinter vans and trailers!

Spray foam is a popular insulation choice because it’s not only very effective at reducing energy costs by insulating and sealing air leaks and helping your HVAC work more efficiently, it also improves indoor air quality and is an affordable choice for many homeowners and businesses. When you reach out to our Live Green insulation team, you’ll find that the cost of spray foam insulation can vary based on a number of factors, including the type of foam used, the size of the area to be insulated, and the complexity of the installation process.

Here are some cost considerations for spray foam insulation:

  • The biggest cost consideration is the type of spray foam insulation: There are two main types of spray foam insulation: open-cell and closed-cell. Closed-cell is typically more expensive than open-cell foam because it is more dense and rigid so it provides a higher R-value, providing better insulation as a rule. Closed-cell foam is also more durable and provides better moisture resistance.
  • Open cell spray foam is less dense and has a spongier texture, so its R-value per inch is lower than closed cell. However depending on where the spray foam is going to be installed, open cell spray foam may be a more affordable option for your project. Live Green can help you determine which type of spray foam insulation works best for where you want to install it, and for your project budget. Luckily, because we live in the southern United States, both open and closed cell spray foam are viable options for homes and businesses in our more temperate climate.
  • Size of the area being insulated with spray foam: The cost of spray foam insulation is typically calculated by the square foot. The larger the area where our team will be installing spray foam, the more the project will cost.
  • The installation’s complexity: Another thing we’ll discuss with you is the specifics of the area you want us to insulate. If it’s difficult to access or has a lot of obstructions, the installation process may be more complex and time-consuming, which could impact the cost of the project.

Other things to consider when choosing which type of spray foam to use:

As you consider open or closed cell spray foam for your project and the cost difference between the two, our Live Green team will ask you to consider some additional differences between the two insulation types:

  • Water resistance: Because its more dense, closed cell spray foam insulation has a higher resistance to water and moisture than open cell spray foam. If Live Green is installing spray foam into an area where there is more moisture, we recommend you use closed cell insulation to protect your home from penetrating moisture and the associated problems that come with that.
  • Vapor permeability: Because open cell spray foam is less dense, it allows moisture to pass through it more easily. That can definitely work to your advantage in certain applications, such as in walls where moisture can become trapped.
  • Sound insulation: Because open cell spray foam is spongier and more flexible, it is actually a better sound insulator than closed cell spray foam.

As you can see, there are a lot of things to consider when choosing which spray foam to use for your project. Contact Live Green today to discuss your options, and the cost considerations that they involve. And choosing Live Green to install your spray foam insulation is a smart money move too, because you can trust you’re getting a team with proven experience, and a stellar reputation with our clients.

sprayfoam installed in raleigh

Welcome to Raleigh, where because of our temperate climate and varied topography, homes in the area can have all kinds of foundations: crawl space, poured concrete slab, split level with a mix of slab and crawl space, stone, concrete masonry, basement, no basement. Same with attic spaces: your home in the Triangle could have rafters or roof trusses.

What does that mean for you as a homeowner in the Raleigh NC area? It means your home could have a LOT of uninsulated or poorly insulated space that could cause air leakage and drafts. And no one wants to pay to cool or heat air that then leaks outside. Conversely, no one wants higher energy bills because cold or hot air is leaking into your home from outside.

Benefits of Spray Foam insulation in Raleigh area homes

One of the insulation products that LiveGreen offers that works beautifully in homes in North Carolina is spray foam insulation. Unlike traditional insulation materials, spray foam never loses it’s shape. It expands on installation to fill gaps and cracks and make your space more air-tight. Spray foam doesn’t settle, compress or sag, so the spray foam LiveGreen installs for you will stay intact, continuing to protect your home’s energy efficiency over time.

Spray Foam from LiveGreen Inc. also helps prevent condensation from getting into your walls or attic where mold or mildew issues could then develop. As you can imagine with our sometimes wide temperature and humidity swings in Eastern North Carolina, condensation issues are prevalent in triangle homes that are under-insulated. Condensation happens when there’s a big temperature difference between inside your home and the outside air. Where those conflicting conditions meet, condensation forms. If you have air leakage in your home, that’s where condensation can form and collect, causing mold and mildew issues that can affect the air in your home, and by extension, your health. That’s the beauty of spray foam insulation from LiveGreen: it forms a tighter seal than conventional insulation, preventing thei outside air from coming in contact with your heat-or-air-conditioned inside air. That prevents condensation from forming and causing problems for your home and family.

Where does spray foam work best in your home?

Spray foam insulation can benefit most areas in your home because of how it’s delivered into spaces, and how it then expands and performs. In fact, it’s so versatile at protecting structures, LiveGreen has even installed it into Sprinter vans and trailers for our customers!

Here’s what you can expect when you schedule LiveGreen to install spray foam into your home: Our team will prep the area where the foam is going to be sprayed, depending on where you want it applied.

We then run a delivery hose from our high-tech rig to the area being insulated, and spray the foam directly into the desired area, making sure the foam mix and temperature is exactly right for the area being treated. The process is so seamless, you can start enjoying the comfortable, energy-efficient results immediately after installation.
