Seal the Shell for Lorton’s Climate

Lorton sits between the Occoquan and the Potomac, which means summer humidity and winter winds along I-95 show up quickly inside leaky homes. Our crew applies spray foam that expands in place and closes the hairline gaps around framing, ducts, and penetrations so conditioned air stays where you pay for it. In Laurel Hill colonials, townhomes near Lorton Station, and older houses along Route 1, that tighter shell delivers steadier room temperatures, fewer drafts near baseboards, and a quieter interior during commuter hours and MARC or VRE runs.

Choose the Foam That Fits Each Area

Open cell foam creates a continuous air seal and softens sound, which works well at the roofline and in living spaces such as bedrooms, family rooms, and home offices. Closed cell foam packs more R-value per inch and adds meaningful moisture control, a smart choice for crawl spaces near Mason Neck, rim joists at the foundation, low-slope dormers, and garage ceilings with rooms above. We specify type and thickness by assembly rather than using one product everywhere, so the attic, walls, and perimeter work as a coordinated system.

A Clean Process That Tracks Fairfax County Code

Every project begins with a walkthrough and a clear scope. We protect floors and finishes, ventilate the workspace during application, and spray to the specified thickness so target R-values are met. Bath fans are sealed and ducted outdoors, attic access doors are insulated and weather-stripped, and safe clearances are maintained around recessed lights and flues. Where the code requires it, ignition or thermal barriers are added in attics, crawl spaces, and utility areas. When work wraps, you receive a simple record of what was installed, where it went, and why it fits your home in Lorton Valley, Gunston Corner, or Laurel Hill.
