The Importance of Proper Insulation to Prevent Water Damage

FacebookFacebookTwitterTwitterEmailEmailShareShare

Water damage is one of the most common and costly problems facing homeowners. According to the Insurance Information Institute, water damage and freezing account for more than one in four homeowners insurance claims, and the average claim costs more than $10,000.

There are many ways water can damage your home, but one of the most preventable is through poor insulation. When insulation is wet, it loses its ability to protect against heat transfer. This can cause your pipes to freeze and burst, leading to costly repairs.

There are several types of insulation, but the most effective for preventing water damage is closed-cell spray foam. This type of insulation is applied as a liquid and expands to fill cracks and gaps, creating a water-resistant barrier.

If you’re concerned about water damage, proper insulation is key. Closed-cell spray foam is the most effective type of insulation for preventing water damage, and it can save you thousands of dollars in repairs.
