Airlock Lubbock Spray Foam Insulation is an insulation contractor working in Littlefield, TX. We seal the leaks in attics, walls and crawl spaces, then add insulation, so older homes stay steadier through hot summers and windy winters.
Littlefield is the Lamb County seat, a farm-country city northwest of Lubbock, and a lot of the homes we work on there have been standing a long while. In those houses I usually find an attic with a few inches of old insulation that's settled flat, gaps around the hatch and the light fixtures, and a back bedroom that never feels right in July. It's much the same work we do in Levelland and back home in Lubbock, but Littlefield gives us more calls about cold coming up through the floor.
Plenty of those older homes sit up off the ground over a crawl space, so cold floors in winter come up about as often as a hot upstairs. That's why we look under the house as well as over it, because insulating the attic alone won't stop a draft coming through the floor.
When ductwork runs through the attic or a room won't hold a temperature, foam seals the air and insulates at once. It costs more, so I'll tell you when it's worth it.
Explore serviceMost Littlefield calls start in the attic, where old insulation has settled thin. We seal the gaps first, then bring the depth back up, edges included.
Explore serviceBlown-in insulation is loose fill blown through a hose, and it's how we usually top up an older attic. We lay it even to the eaves and keep it off the vents.
Explore serviceWhen the whole house feels uneven, I look at the attic, walls and floors together. Then we start where the biggest leak is, not where it's easiest.
Explore serviceInsulation that got soaked by a roof leak or filled with droppings comes out first. Laying new material over it just keeps the problem.
Explore serviceOlder houses up over a crawl space lose heat through the floor. Insulating underneath is how we take the chill off cold floors.
Explore serviceExterior walls in older homes are often thin or empty. We can usually fill them through small holes instead of opening the walls up.
Explore serviceAir sealing means closing the gaps around pipes, fixtures and the hatch before insulating. Out here that's also where the wind and dust get in.
Explore serviceBasements are rare around Littlefield, but when a house has one, we insulate the walls so it stops pulling heat out of the rooms above.
Explore serviceClosed-cell foam is a dense foam that also blocks moisture. It fits crawl space walls and spots where damp is part of the trouble.
Explore serviceOpen-cell foam is softer and lighter. We use it under roof decks when ductwork sits in a hot attic and needs to be inside the insulated space.
Explore serviceShops, offices and metal buildings in and around Littlefield get the same seal-first approach. We size the job to the building and how it's used.
Explore serviceA heavy plastic cover over the crawl space dirt keeps ground moisture away from the floor framing. It also protects the insulation we put under the floor.
Explore serviceSome walls, floors and crawl spaces need moisture kept on one side of the insulation. We put the barrier where the house needs it.
Explore serviceSealing the attic floor stops drafts from above the rooms below. Then the insulation on top can do its job instead of fighting moving air.
Explore serviceIn older homes we add to what's already there instead of starting over. If the wiring needs an electrician first, I'll say so.
Explore servicePermits in Littlefield go through the city's Code Enforcement department, which handles them for construction, roofs and fences. When we aren't sure an insulation job needs one, we call that office and ask before we start, and when it does need one, we get it and handle the paperwork, so that answer is usually the first thing that sets your start date. We're licensed and insured, and if the job turns up wiring or ductwork that needs work, that part goes to an electrician or air conditioning contractor, because the state licenses both trades through its own programs. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job.
We're based in Lubbock and make the drive up US 84 for Littlefield jobs, much as we head down to Brownfield, so I plan the visit to see the attic, walls and crawl space in one trip. The price moves with the size of the attic and how hard it is to get into, how many inches are already up there, whether old material has to come out and whether foam or loose fill suits the house. The schedule turns on the permit question, any roof or wiring repair that has to come first and how much old insulation we're hauling out. Your own figure comes from the estimate, where I look at the house in person and go over what I see before you decide anything.
Send the form or call (806) 370-4846, and we'll reply within one business day. I come out to your Littlefield house, look at the attic, walls or crawl space, and go over what I see and what I'd do before you decide anything, with no pressure to book. If you go ahead, our own crew does the work, and I check the finished job with you.
(806) 370-4846Every permit application in Littlefield carries an $8.00 filing fee, and new construction or an addition is charged $0.10 a square foot with a $45.00 minimum. A residential roof replacement permit is $25.00, and the city posts the full schedule on its building code and permit fees page. If your insulation job needs a permit, we get it and handle that paperwork.
Usually yes, and the foam maker sets the re-entry time, the wait before you, the kids and the pets can come back inside. I go over that wait at the estimate so you can plan around it. Topping up an attic with blown-in insulation is different, and you can usually stay home while we work.
For most older attics, sealing the gaps and topping up with loose fill gets you the most for the money. Foam costs more because it seals air and insulates in one go, and it earns that when your ductwork runs through the attic. I'll show you which way your attic leans while we're up there together.
Get those fixed first, because new insulation laid over a leak or bad wiring only hides the problem until it's worse. Roof and electrical repairs are other trades' work, so I'll tell you what I see and stop there. We schedule the insulation once those repairs are done.
