Airlock Lubbock Spray Foam Insulation insulates homes and businesses in Wolfforth, TX. We seal the gaps in attics, walls and crawl spaces first, then add blown-in or spray foam to even out drafty, hot upstairs rooms.
Wolfforth has a lot of young families, and a good share of our calls here start the same way. The kid's room upstairs or over the garage never feels like the rest of the house, and the power bill climbs trying to make up for it. I learned this trade hauling hose and bags through attics around Lubbock, and the houses here are close enough to what I learned on that I usually have a fair idea what's up there before I open the hatch.
Newer houses usually have a few inches of blown-in that has settled thin at the edges, with open gaps around can lights and the hatch, while older ones may have material that got soaked or nested in and has to come out first. In most of the houses we see here, the ductwork runs through the attic, and that's what decides whether we seal and top up or bring in foam.
When the ducts run through the attic or the room over the garage won't hold temperature, we spray foam that seals and insulates in one step.
Explore serviceWe check how many inches are already up there, pull anything wet or dirty, and bring the whole attic to an even depth, edges included.
Explore serviceBlown-in, loose fill sent up through a hose, is usually the best value for topping up a Wolfforth attic once the gaps underneath are closed.
Explore serviceWhen several rooms feel different, I look at the attic, walls and crawl space together and tell you which one to start with.
Explore serviceInsulation soaked by an old roof leak or full of droppings comes out first, because new material on top just keeps the problem.
Explore serviceFor houses here built over a crawl space, we insulate under the floor so the rooms above stop feeling cold underfoot.
Explore serviceOlder exterior walls that came with little in them can usually be filled through small holes we patch, so you keep living in the room.
Explore serviceAir sealing means closing the gaps around can lights, pipes, wire holes and the hatch, so the insulation isn't fighting a draft.
Explore serviceMost Wolfforth houses don't have a basement, but when a house or building does, we insulate the walls and rim so the space stays usable.
Explore serviceClosed-cell foam is a dense foam that blocks moisture, so we use it in crawl spaces and metal buildings where damp is the worry.
Explore serviceOpen-cell is a softer, lighter foam for the underside of the roof deck or inside walls, sealing air and quieting rooms for less than closed-cell.
Explore serviceShops, offices and metal buildings in Wolfforth get the same look-first approach, with the work planned around your business hours.
Explore serviceA sealed sheet over the crawl space dirt keeps ground moisture out of the floor framing and the insulation above it.
Explore serviceWe put vapor barriers where a wall or ceiling needs one and leave them out where they'd trap moisture, and I'll tell you which is which.
Explore serviceBefore new insulation goes in, we seal the attic floor so the air you paid to heat or cool stays in the rooms below.
Explore serviceIn older Wolfforth houses, we add to what's already there without a remodel, working around the wiring, ducts and attic layout you have.
Explore serviceIf your job needs a permit, we get it from the City of Wolfforth and take care of the paperwork, and when we aren't sure whether it does, I call the city's building office and ask before we start. The city's main line is (806) 855-4120 if you'd like to ask yourself. We're licensed and insured for insulation, with satisfaction guaranteed on every job, but wiring and heating and cooling aren't work we do, and Texas licenses the people who do them, so ask to see that state license before anyone works on what we find.
Price here turns on the same things it does in Slaton or anywhere else we work: the size of the attic, how many inches are already up there, whether old material has to come out, how many gaps need sealing, and whether you pick foam or loose fill. The schedule mostly turns on what has to be fixed first, like a roof leak or old wiring, and on whether foam means you'll be out of the house for a while. I go over all of it in person and write the estimate, so you see your own numbers before you decide anything.
Send the form or call (806) 370-4846, and we'll reply within one business day. I come out myself, look at the attic, walls or crawl space, and go over what I see 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) 370-4846Yes, in Texas anyone who does electrical work has to be licensed, with some exemptions. We don't work on wiring, so if I see old or damaged wiring during the estimate, I'll point it out, and you'll want a licensed electrician to deal with it before any insulation goes over it.
A contractor holding a Texas air conditioning and refrigeration contractor license should do that work. The state issues it in two classes, and either one covers the size of system a house has. If I see ducts that look torn or loose, I'll tell you so you can have them looked at before we insulate around them.
At the time of one city staff report, Wolfforth was still on older editions of the model building and energy codes, and staff recommended the council move to newer ones. The city also has drafts in the works, including one for work on existing buildings that would make a violation a misdemeanor with a fine of $1.00 to $2,000.00, with each day counting as its own offense. When code matters for your job, I ask the city before we start, same as with permits.
Kids and pets can come back once the re-entry time is up, which is the wait the foam maker sets before anyone goes back inside. I'll tell you the hours for the product we're using before we book, so you can plan around school and naps. With blown-in insulation, most families stay home while we work and just keep kids and pets clear of the attic.
We're based in Lubbock and work in the cities around it. These are the ones with their own page, and if your city isn't listed, call and ask.
We're open from 6 AM on weekdays and 7 AM on weekends until 9 PM, so you can call (806) 370-4846 before work or after the kids are down, or send the form whenever it suits you.
