Airlock Lubbock Spray Foam Insulation is an insulation contractor working in Plainview, TX. We seal the leaks in your attic, walls and crawl space first, then add blown-in or spray foam insulation so the rooms hold their temperature.
Most of our calls in Plainview come from houses that have been standing a good while. The attic insulation has settled thin over the years, the ductwork runs through the heat up there, and the room over the garage or the back bedroom never feels like the rest of the house. We also get calls from newer houses on the edges of the city and from business owners with shops and metal buildings. The work looks a lot like what we do in Littlefield and the other cities around Lubbock.
In an older house the old layer and the gaps under it usually cause more trouble than a shortage of insulation, so most of our Plainview jobs start with sealing and sorting out what's already there before anything new goes in.
Spray foam insulation fits Plainview houses with ductwork in the attic, because foam on the roof deck seals the air and insulates in one pass.
Explore serviceAttic insulation for the tired, settled attics we open up in older houses here, sealed first and filled evenly out to the eaves.
Explore serviceBlown-in insulation is loose fill blown through a hose, and it's how we usually top up an attic that has some insulation but not enough.
Explore serviceHome insulation looks at the attic, walls and floors together when the whole house feels drafty or the power bill keeps climbing.
Explore serviceInsulation removal clears out old material that got soaked by a roof leak or filled with droppings, so the problem doesn't stay under the new layer.
Explore serviceCrawl space insulation is for Plainview houses on pier and beam where the floors feel cold underfoot.
Explore serviceWall insulation fills older walls that were built with little or nothing inside them, without tearing out your walls when the wall allows it.
Explore serviceAir sealing services close the gaps around lights, pipes, wiring holes and the attic hatch, so the insulation isn't fighting a draft.
Explore serviceBasement insulation is for the Plainview houses and buildings that have one, on the walls and rim where the cold and damp get in.
Explore serviceClosed-cell foam insulation, a dense foam that also blocks moisture, suits metal buildings, rim joists and spots where water is a worry.
Explore serviceOpen-cell foam insulation seals attic roof decks and walls at less cost than closed-cell when moisture isn't the main concern.
Explore serviceCommercial insulation covers shops, offices and metal buildings in Plainview, planned with you so the business keeps running.
Explore serviceCrawl space vapor barrier goes down over the dirt so ground moisture stays out of the floor framing and the insulation above it.
Explore serviceVapor barrier installation stops moisture before it reaches the insulation in walls, attics and buildings that need it.
Explore serviceAttic air sealing is for when the insulation is fine but the upstairs or the room over the garage still runs hot.
Explore serviceRetrofit insulation adds insulation to a finished, lived-in house without turning the job into a remodel.
Explore serviceBuilding permits in Plainview come from the city's Building Permit & Inspection staff, and their list names jobs like wall removals, water heaters, added or moved electrical circuits and roof replacement, but not insulation by name. So before we start, I call that office and ask about your job. When a permit is needed, we get it and handle the paperwork, and the city's inspections during the work become part of the schedule. The city's commercial page lists a contractor registration form too, so it's fair to ask anyone you hire whether they've registered with Plainview. We're licensed and insured.
We're based in Lubbock, so we plan a Plainview day around one trip and load what the job needs before we leave, the same way we do for Levelland and the other cities around us. Your price mostly comes down to what I find once I'm up in the attic, and the estimate gives you your own figure after I've walked the job with you. These are the things that usually move the price and the schedule:
Send the form or call (806) 370-4846, and we'll reply within one business day to set a time. I come out myself, look at the attic, walls or crawl space in person and go over what I see, and the estimate is free with no pressure to book. If you go ahead, our own crew does the work and I check the finished job with you.
(806) 370-4846For most attics, sealing the gaps and topping up with blown-in is the better buy, because foam costs more and the sealing does much of what foam would do. Foam on the roof deck usually wins when your ductwork runs through the attic, since it brings the ducts inside the insulated space. I'll tell you which one your attic calls for once I've been up there.
With blown-in insulation you can usually stay home, though we'll ask you to keep kids and pets clear of the hose and the hatch. Spray foam is different, so you and your pets step out while it goes on and come back after the re-entry time, the wait the foam maker sets before people return, which I'll go over with you before we book. How long we're in the attic depends on how much sealing and removal your house needs, and I'll tell you that at the estimate.
Only if it's wet, moldy or full of droppings, because new material on top of a bad layer just buries the problem. Dry, clean insulation usually stays, and we build on it after sealing the gaps underneath. If I see a roof leak behind the damage, I'll tell you to get the roof fixed before we put anything new up there.
