Spray Foam Insulation for Your Home

Spray foam insulation for your home is vital to the health of your home. Without protection and preventive maintenance, your house will wear itself down gradually. This is usually why homes need major remodeling and repairs.

The reason always goes back to the foundation and the physical structure of the home, including the roof. With water damage, mold is created. Roofs sag, break, and leak. Water pipes break and cause major water damage and mold in between the walls of the house.

Air is continually coming in around seals of doors, windows and other places like vents. This creates hot and cold spots in your home, especially if the floors are not properly insulated. This is a major reason why spray foam insulation can help your home.

Spray foam insulation is the modern way to insulate your home. You can do this project yourself on your own time. Start with your roof and look for those possible water leaks or any type of wind damage. If the roof is good, then spray foam will evenly spread over the places your roof needs help. It will dry super-fast and you will have given not just a temporary solution to the problem, but a permanent one.

Spray foam works together with any type of material it is placed on, and bonds to it quickly. It instantly becomes stronger which makes it more durable. If part of the roof is weak, then add another layer of spray foam to it. The same goes for anything else you may find around the house that needs added strength and insulation both together.

Insulate those water pipes for no more breaking in winter. Can you imagine having a mobile home and not worrying about that anymore? The same goes for spraying foam insulation under the floorboards for toasty warm feet in the winter. It will make things in your home energy efficient and sustainable in the long run.

Easy Spray On Foam Insulation

Spray on foam insulation means exactly what it says. Just simply spray the insulation on the surface and let the foam do its work by filling in gaps and hardening almost instantly. Instead of traditional types of insulation, the ease of spray foam is the new and cost effective way to insulate your home or building.

Contrary to what you may believe, you don’t have to hire a professional to do this for you. By renting equipment from Master Pack, you can save money by doing it yourself. It truly is easy to spray on foam insulation. Just clean the surface and make sure repairs are done before insulating. Then, gently spray an even amount. There will be no gaps or holes as the foam evenly fills in as it is filling up the space that needs the insulating.

After you get the hang of doing it yourself, you might start thinking of other places that you can use spray foam insulation around the home. Like those water pipes for winter. Or insulating a dryer vent or gaps where it is very hard to insulate using traditional methods. Once you start a project, you might be hard pressed to find something that couldn’t benefit from spray foam insulation!

Spray foam insulation is also great for energy efficiency. It cuts heating and cooling costs way down by allowing homes to retain their cool during warm summer months, and hold their heat during the colder winter months. You can save money by reducing the need for space heaters or excessive air conditioning.

Spray foam is also very helpful if you are building on a new room to the house. Just use spray foam insulation instead of costly traditional methods during the building process. You can also upgrade insulation on older parts of your home, making those rooms as energy efficient as the rest of the house. Even your screened in porch can feel comfortable anytime of the year.

Easy spray on foam insulation truly will change your life once you get started. Check with Master Pack for any insulating needs you may have. We are always here to help and will be happy to help you learn how to use our spray foam equipment.

Spray Foam Insulation for Your Barn

If you have cows and horses, then you have a barn to store farm equipment, hay, feed, and animals. If you are a professional farmer, cattle rancher, or horse breeder and racer, then your barn is not your typical one grandpa used to have. You probably have a two story barn with air conditioning, heat, and all the fine amenities, like a built in office.

Spray foam insulation for your barn is a must have. There will be immediate energy efficiency after application. When spray foam is used for the roof, it makes it tough on those bad winds and damaging sun and rain. Nothing will be ruined upstairs, as no water will get in with roof leaks.

The cold will not enter the second story as the foam creates a barrier and keeps the cold out and the heat in. The same goes for summer. Instead of stuffy, unbearable heat, the second story will feel comfortable and cool, especially if using the modern day roofs that are metal. Using spray foam insulation makes the roof very strong and tough, allowing it to be able to handle anything.

The animals will appreciate it also because there are no cold spots or unbearable heat either. When building the barn, spray foam insulation evenly spreads through every nook and cranny in the floors and walls creating an instant barrier that is super strong. No cold feet and no little critters eating through the insulation and tearing it apart. The insulation holds and cannot be chewed on, unlike traditional insulation.

If your office is in the barn, there will be no need for space heaters. Windows are sealed tight, floorboards are warm, and the walls will create a comfy blanket around you while you are working. Doing any kind of work in your new barn can be very enjoyable!

Spray foam insulation for your barn is the only way to go for durability, reliability, energy efficiency, and it’s also very budget friendly. Master Pack can make this happen. Check us out today!

Spray Foam Roofing – A Cost Effective Solution

If your roof is in need of some minor repairs, and you do not have the money to totally replace your roof, there is a quick fix solution that can help. This quick fix is not a short-term, cheaply made solution either. It is a cost effective and long lasting alternative to creating a much stronger and sustainable roof: spray foam roofing.

Spray foam roofing can be used to seal up tiny holes that are creating leaks. As long as the roof is not sagging and signs of water damage are not present inside the home, then using spray foam for your roof helps you repair issues before they become larger and costly problems.

By doing the roofing project yourself, you can save a lot of money, and in this tough economy every home owner is looking for a way to cut down on costs. You can start off by inspecting your roof thoroughly. Use a flashlight to make sure you do not miss anything. With traditional old style roofs, there are a lot of roofing tiles to look through. Some are single layers while others may have two or more layers. Sometimes one of those inner layers has finally come off and is leaving the very last layer exposed.

You can do it yourself by renting spray foam equipment. While doing it yourself may be intimidating, Master Pack offers onsite help to alleviate any apprehension of being able to complete the project yourself. Renting eliminates the need to purchase expensive equipment or hire a spray foam contractor. Cost per board foot is 30% to 40% less expensive than conventional programs.

As an added tip for doing it yourself, keep the spray foam roofing in a single layer in some places and thicker in others forcing water to go into one direction. Also, the thicker places are for places for energy efficiency. If you can see where the sun and wind has done the most damage on the roof, then this is the places that need added protection. The spray foam adds strength to take on strong winds and protect your roof.

No matter what, spray foam for roofing will add many more years of life to your roof. Energy bills will be lowered, cold spots will be greatly reduced, and even the sun will not heat up the roof in summer.

Contact us to find out more about spray foam roofing and waterproofing options that can help save you money.

Spray Foam Waterproofing For Energy Efficiency


Spray foam waterproofing will create a more energy efficient home or business. Your house or business always needs to be checked every year for leaks and repairs around windows, doors, air ducts, and so on. But, what if there was a solution that you really did not have to do this every year? Just a routine check of things instead of a “honey” do list? It is truly possible?

Instead of buying cheap weatherproofing strips and waterproofing supplies, save money by spray foam waterproofing instead. It is better to save money by doing it yourself rather than paying for it in the long run with costly repairs, total replacement, and high energy bills. This is the beauty of spray foam waterproofing!

Spray foam waterproofing has no chemicals and it easily sprays where you want it to go. When you feel cold air coming in from drain pipes, the dryer vent, around windows, doors, or anywhere else, water can enter through those places. Using spray foam can form a seal around those areas helping prevent dangerous mold problems which can become a very hazardous problem because it can go undetected for a very long time. The same goes with insects. If there is moisture or a leak, unwanted pests can breed. That is a problem no one ever wants to have! Spray foam insulation will provide a barrier that pests can’t chew through or remove, simply because it’s too tough for them to break.

Using spray foam waterproofing has so many benefits both inside and out. It is extremely versatile and can handle all the elements. It dries fast, even with humidity or cold blowing winds. Once it dries the bond becomes super tough and strong, making it a durable option that lasts for a very long time. As an added benefit, spray foam blends in beautifully with its surroundings, making it hardly detectable.

Spray Foam Roofing Waterproofing

One of the main reasons roofs can collapse is a build-up of water. When it rains water has to drain somewhere, and if a proper draining system is not in place rainwater can start to puddle. The puddling of water can cause an entire roof to collapse. This is very true for older roofs that haven’t been upgraded to modern building standards. With older roofs there wasn’t a proper drainage system designed to eliminate the water. The roofs were usually flat and never angled or slanted to run the water off.

With heavy, wet, snow the exact same thing can happen, so one of the best solutions to prevent water damage is spray foam roofing and waterproofing.


Spray foam roofing waterproofing is a revolution that is happening everywhere. It is a simple and cost effective solution that can help prevent serious damage to your home or roof by forming a barrier seal. Take for example caulking. Caulking creates a seal around the sink, the pipes, and so on. Take this same concept and apply it towards sealing of a roof. Spray foam roof insulation can seal up leaks, form a waterproof barrier, create an energy efficient, extremely strong, and durable roof. Having a proper seal can prevent water related problems from starting in the first place. Knowing the comfort, energy efficiency, and the durability of waterproofing your roof with spray foam insulation can give peace of mind to homeowners for many years to come. Feel free to contact Master Pack if you are considering it, and ask us how you can save money by doing it yourself.

Spray Foam Roofing Insulation



Spray foam roofing insulation can add many benefits to your home or business. This insulating foam is created out of polyurethane. This substance is applied as liquid, and, as it dries, creates a single layer which will cover the entire roof. There will be no seams as there are with traditional roofing materials, meaning there will be no leaks. What is really great, is that this foam can be sprayed directly on the roof. There is no need for preparation. The material is quite durable but also lightweight. Heat or cold will enter your home through your roof. Your attic will store heat even after the sun has set. Even if you do not have an attic in your home, spray foam roofing insulation will keep your home much cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Exposure to the elements is one of the major reasons that roofs go bad. If your insulation is not proper, you are susceptible to water and wind damage. Spray foam roofing insulation can solve this issue without creating a large expense for you. This is not only great to protect against water damage, but it also keeps your shingles in place during storms. The waterproofing capabilities of this product practically erase the possible damage that can be caused due to dew and other condensation problems. The top layer of the foam can even become damaged and the lower layer will not allow for leakage.

Another great quality of this product is that it does not require maintenance as many other products do. In fact, it lasts much longer than comparatively priced roofing materials. Additionally, it costs much less to waterproof and seal your roof in this manner than having to completely repair your roof. It is simply the wiser choice.

Spray Foam Waterseal

When preparing to repair a homeowner’s roof, the reasons behind the repair should be something you care about as much as the homeowner. The following are reasons that spray foam waterseal will show that you do care.

For starters, any type of water damage will destroy the integrity of a structure. Once the structural integrity has been destroyed the home then is unusable. Even the smallest amount of water can wreak havoc on the interior foundation of a home, such as drywall or flooring. This kind of absorption then becomes the ideal habitat for the growth of mold. Left unchecked, mold growth can cause severe health issues, not to mention the structural degradation of the entire home.

Unbeknownst to many, this can also affect the ground water around the home, such as if you own a well for your home’s water consumption. It can turn your average great water into Category 2 water, which can cause sickness, or Category 3 water which is not meant for consumption.

If water damage is not properly cleaned by professionals, a homeowner can be left to face serious health and financial consequences. Many homeowners faced with this situation may feel that this is a quick fix and that they can fix this themselves; however, this is a fix for professionals. It should be instilled in homeowners that it is never a good idea to cut corners when health is at stake.

Anyone can easily vacuum up the visible layers of water when a flood or other such damage has occurred; but, it takes a true professional to be able to take care of damage that has occurred unseen. Unseen damage is the real threat. It is important to only hire the best spray foam waterseal professionals for this type of damage.

In many cities, homes that are new builds are required by new regulations to have some form of waterproofing in place. This is because in many areas, the fear of black mold is a strong one. Having a good waterproofing system, such as spray foam waterproofing, is a great way to minimize the possibilities of water damage and the growth of this mold. When thinking of waterproofing, you should also consider your climate, weather, and the surrounding terrain.

Basements are one of the areas of a home that are most prone to leaks. These leaks can be due to several different issues. Issues such as cracks in walls or floors, no footer tiles or improperly installed footers, pressure that has built up, leaks, and several others will let you know if you need spray foam waterproofing. If your basement has the signs of mold growth, that is a sure sign that your basement has either leaks or condensation issues. If you do see mold, it is vital to seek out a professional waterproofing specialist.

Roof leaks are another reason that some homeowners seek waterproofing specialists. Spray foam waterproofing for your roof is a very popular means of fixing this issue and has been the top choice of specialists for more than thirty five years.

The installation is completed by spraying the foam into the cracks or crevices on your roof. As it dries, the foam expands to over thirty times its size, drying into a hard compound. It doesn’t take long for the foam to dry and it is extremely long lasting. It is lightweight and most contractors recommend this material for all of these kinds of jobs.

Spray Foam Roofing

Spray foam roofing is a great addition to the roofing community. This material is crafted from two separate liquid materials that, when combined, form a seamless roof. After you mix this material, it will expand to over twenty times its original size, forming a complete roof. This type of roof is extremely popular due to its ease of application and its ability to withstand even the harshest type of weather.


Another great advantage of spray foam roofing is the fact that it adheres to every common roofing surface. So, whether your roof is concrete, cinder block, wood, or metal, this material will seal and insulate your roof to help you save energy and money. This makes for lower costs and no roof waste. You no longer have to tear off the old roof and start over. You can simply spray the new roof over the old. What is great is that this also works as insulation, killing two birds with one stone. Once dried, this type of roof will last about fifty years, whereas traditional roofs last only ten to fifteen depending on the materials used. Throughout the fifty years, you will only need to perform the occasional cleaning or priming.

During the summer or in climates that are warm year round, spray foam roofing pays for itself in your reduced energy costs over the course of four to five years. Many times, this type of roof can lower your energy costs by half. There are no other roofing systems that will ever pay for themselves. When doing this type of roof, make sure that all tools are correct and that the two substances used for spray foam are combines thoroughly and correctly. If anything is to go wrong, such as the spray gun clogging, you must stop the project immediately and fix the issue.

What Is Spray Foam Insulation?

Spray foam insulation is insulation that is needed for your home and business. Polyurethane foam is another name for spray foam insulation.

A ceiling, walls, and anything else requiring insulation, spray foam is used. The foam is pumped in so there will be no gaps or air holes. There is even coverage from the bottom up to the top or evenly across.

Because of the importance of spray foam insulation, the heating and air conditioning bills are greatly reduced. It is a layer of protection from the heat and cold.

The heat for winter will stay inside the building like it supposed to without escaping and creating cold spots in the building. The same goes with the air conditioning.

Spray foam insulation does cost more than fiberglass insulation. But, the benefits are more rewarding in the long run. Consider it an investment into the future the home or building. If something is built right the first time, then in the future there will be less repairs and money is actually saved.

The main disadvantage to spray foam is simply spraying in to much. The foam does have to expand to work. So, simply spraying a little at a time will show how much more will need to be sprayed to finish the job.

You also will not use too much spray foam insulation. Instead of wasting it, you can use it for another project or another wall or ceiling.

Once the spray foam is all sprayed and set, there will be an immediate noticeable difference, especially the hottest part of the day or at night when the temperature drops.

Spray foam insulation definitely should be a tool in your toolbox when it comes to insulating jobs.

The equipment should be budgeted up front and not later down the road. When a new business is starting, there may not be money to buy the spray foam insulation equipment. Then, what would happen to the project that your company was building?

These are great questions to consider. A business is an investment. This includes the equipment and tools to make the business run efficiently and smoothly. So, when applying to buy spray foam insulation equipment add this into your budget. See if you can make a down payment and make monthly payments to get the projects started.

Invest in one tank now and get the other one for later. There is a lot of things to think about and plenty of options to consider.

When using spray foam insulation equipment, you also have to think about what hose you will want to use. For example, which pressure rating or PSI? When it comes to a fusion gun, which one will be needed? Either an air or mechanical purge gun, reactors are another important equipment decision. There is hydraulic, electric, or air motors.

Spray Foam Equipment

Spray Foam Equipment

Spray foam equipment is very important to have for a large insulating project. Instead of buying the equipment, it actually is cost saving to rent it instead.

A home based business that has occasional insulating projects and does not have a large budget for equipment does benefit from renting. A business can use rental equipment as a tax write off for a business.

If you were a bigger company that needed spray foam equipment most of the time, you could actually win more jobs because the bids for the jobs would be lower.

Not every job would need the equipment. But, depending on the size of the job, there are different prices to spray foam equipment. Not a one size fits all with any choices.

A good example would be an insulating project of fifteen thousand feet. Instead of buying the spray foam, then going out and buying the equipment, plus maybe training to use the equipment and doing the job correctly, think of it as a bundled package.

When the equipment is rented, training is instantly provided to show how to correctly spray the foam and how to use the equipment. Safety items are also included for the accessories along with the foam in the price. There is no hurry up and bring it back in a day or a week. Renting by the month gives the company plenty of time for a large project.

There is also DIY or do it yourself kits for renting spray foam equipment for smaller jobs. A choice between open or closed cell spray foam is available for everyone to choose from.

When a building project has to been all building code specs, spray foam equipment will meet all requirements with no problems. Rent from a company that has a reputation of knowing what they are doing.

Cable TV Show Highlights Importance of Adding Strength To Your Home

While watching storm chasers season 5, 2011 super outbreak. I realized the importance of having homes reinforced with spray foam insulation or if you were unfortunate to lose your home this past spring rebuild or repair utilizing spray foam insulation. Storm Chases has gained notoriety for showing chasers tracking down super cell storms which produce tornadoes. This past season the chasers have often become the chased, sometimes even becoming first responders. Their efforts in obtaining vital information regarding tornadoes will someday enable scientists to give more warning to those in the path of a tornado.

Homeowners building or repairing their homes in tornado prone area's should consider strengthening the core structure of their dwelling with spray foam insulation. During high wind events, an unvented attic with closed-cell spray foam resists roof uplift which my be the added strength needed to hold the roof in place. Homes without spray foam insulation can have vented soffit collapse leading to the home pressurization and window blowout and roof loss due to increased uplift. Unvented roofs – principally due to the robustness of the homes soffit construction – outperform vented roofs during high wind events –simply homes with spray foam insulation are safer. Experience tells us that it's prudent to consider certain methods and products for the construction of houses.
Spray Foam is perfect for the do-it-yourself (DIY) because of the ease of installation. With the right equipment, almost anyone can apply spray foam insulation. It simply requires a bit of reading and a little bit of preparation.

For homeowners spray foam insulation lowers energy costs, adds resale value, prevents mold and moisture from growing, keeps pests away and lowers the risk of allergens in the home. Not only are home insulated with spray foam safer but also more energy efficient. The energy cost savings are so significant, that many question how one product can make such a huge difference. The answer is simple: plugging holes and pockets will reduce your energy loss by 40% (according to the US Department of Energy). Plugging up those small holes and crevices in the attic and floor cavities will keep warm air in and cold air out.

Its also a bugs life, plugging up holes in your home also stops rodents and insects from entering. The American Cockroach loves to get into nice warm homes and scavenge for food. But spray foam insulation will not only plug the entries, it will deter the insects. Cockroaches, rats, mice and other unwanted guests just find it too hard to get through the spray foam and will look elsewhere for a place to live.

Home health care begins with air quality found in the home. Moisture in the home is one of the things every homeowner is very, very afraid of. Mold can destroy walls, clothing, carpets and the health of the family. Airborne mold spores are especially dangerous to the elderly and infants and they can cause respiratory infections. A properly insulated home will not become moist because a vapor barrier between the spray foam insulation and the outer wall keeps cold moist air outside and warm dry air inside. The home's breath ability occurs via the windows and doors.

Keeping allergens that cause most people problems outside is also very important in the summer months. Having a properly insulated home with no gaps will prevent those allergens from entering the home. Pollen, grass and tree molecules cannot enter through holes in the attic and roof-line, just as cold air cannot in winter months.

Spray Foam insulation also improves the value of the structure and makes it more marketable when it comes time to sell the home. Prospective buyers will be pleased to find spray foam insulation has been used. They will know it is more energy efficient and will be more likely to pay a bit more. They may also see that a home with spray foam insulation is less likely to have had insect or rodent infestations. With the evolution of the housing market, buyers are becoming much more educated in their house hunting activities. Buyers are not going on the surface level presentation anymore. They are venturing into attics and crawlspaces to see just what kind of shape the home is in before they buy it.

Why use Spray Foam Insulation?

Spray foam stops air and moisture intrusion, cuts energy bills (up to 40%), strengthens the structure (in wall cavity increased racking strength to 330-400% in NAHB tests), and protects the internal air from mold, airborne pollutants, and allergens, creating a healthy building.

Spray foam provides a continuous, protective air barrier practically eliminates air leakage, the leading cause of building energy waste.

SPRAY FOAM INSULATION:

  • Offers a HIGH insulation R-value
  • Provides a seamless air barrier
  • Restricts moisture transmission
  • Adds structural strength
  • Minimizes Sound Transmission
  • Does NOT shrink or settle
  • Promotes better indoor air quality
