Frequently Asked Questions
At AAA Foam & Insulation, we understand that insulation, concrete lifting, and other energy-efficiency upgrades can come with a lot of questions. That’s why we’ve compiled this helpful FAQ page—to give you clear, honest answers about our services, materials, process, and what to expect. Whether you’re a homeowner, builder, or commercial property manager, this resource is designed to help you make informed decisions and feel confident about working with our team.
What types of insulation services do you offer?
We specialize in spray foam insulation (open and closed cell), fiberglass batts and loosefill, and Rockwool (mineral wool) insulation. Each solution offers different benefits—spray foam provides superior air sealing, fiberglass is budget-friendly, and Rockwool offers excellent soundproofing and fire resistance. We’ll recommend the best material based on your building’s needs and budget.
How does spray foam insulation work?
Spray foam expands on contact, sealing gaps, cracks, and air leaks in walls, attics, basements, and crawlspaces. It creates a continuous air barrier that helps lower energy bills, regulate indoor temperatures, and reduce moisture intrusion. It's ideal for both new construction and retrofit projects.
Is spray foam insulation safe for indoor use?
Yes, spray foam is safe once it fully cures. It’s inert, non-toxic, and does not emit harmful gases when installed properly by trained professionals. At AAA Foam & Insulation, we use top-quality materials and follow industry best practices to ensure safe, effective insulation for your home or business.
What are the benefits of Rockwool (mineral wool) insulation?
Rockwool insulation is made from natural stone and is highly resistant to fire, water, and pests. It also provides excellent acoustic control, making it ideal for soundproofing rooms, basements, and home offices. It retains its shape over time and resists sagging, making it a long-lasting solution.
What’s the difference between fiberglass batts and loosefill insulation?
Fiberglass batts are pre-cut panels used in walls, floors, and ceilings, while loosefill is blown into attics and hard-to-reach areas. Both offer strong thermal performance and are widely used in residential and commercial insulation. We’ll assess your space and recommend the best format for efficiency and coverage.
How do I know if my home needs new insulation?
Signs your home may need new insulation include uneven temperatures between rooms, high utility bills, drafts, moisture in walls or attics, or insulation that’s sagging, damp, or missing. We offer free evaluations to determine where insulation is needed and which materials will work best.
What is concrete lifting or slab jacking?
Concrete lifting, also known as slab jacking, is a process where polyurethane foam is injected beneath sunken concrete slabs to lift and level them. It’s commonly used for sidewalks, patios, garage floors, driveways, and more. This process is faster, cleaner, and more affordable than full replacement.
How long does a typical concrete lifting project take?
Most concrete lifting jobs are completed within a few hours. Once the foam is injected, it cures quickly, and the surface is ready for use the same day. Our non-invasive process minimizes downtime and disruption to your home or business.
Can you insulate garages, workshops, and basements?
Absolutely. We frequently insulate garages, workshops, basements, and other problem areas to improve comfort, reduce moisture, and control energy loss. Spray foam is a popular choice for sealing garages and basements, especially where air and moisture infiltration is common.
Do you offer insulation for new construction?
Yes, we work closely with homeowners and contractors to insulate new homes, shops, and commercial spaces. We offer complete solutions using spray foam, fiberglass, and Rockwool to meet local building codes and energy efficiency standards.
What are acoustical ceilings, and where are they used?
Acoustical ceilings—often installed as drop ceiling tiles—help reduce echo, improve sound quality, and conceal ductwork or wiring. They’re commonly used in offices, classrooms, finished basements, and commercial buildings. We install high-performance panels tailored to your space and soundproofing needs.
Do you install closet shelving and storage systems?
Yes, we offer custom closet shelving and organizational systems for bedrooms, pantries, laundry rooms, garages, and more. Our solutions are tailored to maximize space, improve functionality, and complement your interior layout.
Are your services available for both residential and commercial properties?
Yes, we serve both residential and commercial clients. Whether you're a homeowner looking to improve energy efficiency or a contractor managing a large build, we provide expert insulation, slab lifting, and interior upgrades at every scale.
