Benefits of Batt Insulation

When properly installed, spray foam insulation will help to regulate the indoor temperature and minimize air infiltration within the new home. It will also reduce noise transmission and create a more comfortable living environment. Moreover, it will conserve energy by reducing heating and cooling needs, which in turn leads to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Fiberglass batt insulation is a pre-cut insulation product that comes in standard lengths and widths to quickly and easily fill wood framing cavities for walls, floors, ceilings, and attics. It is available in various R-values to meet your home’s thermal and acoustical insulation needs.

The R-value of fiberglass batt insulation is measured using a calibrated thermometer, which is placed at the bottom of the wall or attic space. The higher the R-value, the more effective it is at resisting heat flow.

Mineral Wool

Unlike fiberglass, this type of insulation is made from recycled materials like denim and cotton. It is denser and has better fire resistance than fiberglass, making it an eco-friendly option. Additionally, it is less likely to become soggy and moldy in damp climates.

Wood Fiber

The main benefit of wood fiber batt insulation is its competitive price with fiberglass and mineral wool and its ease of installation for DIYers. It is free from abrasive fibers that can irritate the eyes and lungs, so it does not require protective clothing or dust masks. It also does not need to be cut with a saw, which helps to save time and money. Furthermore, it is carbon negative and will continue to store carbon throughout the building life cycle.

Attic insulation is a safe, effective way to dispose and treat household waste for homeowners who don’t have access to public sewer systems. Wastewater from toilets, showers, washing machines, and kitchen and bathroom sinks enter a septic tank, which is a large buried container usually made of concrete, fiberglass or polyethylene. Solids settle to the bottom of the tank forming sludge, oil and grease floats to the top forming scum, and the liquid wastewater (effluent) exits through a drainfield (a shallow, covered excavation in unsaturated soil).

The septic system works with the natural characteristics of soils to dispose and filter household waste for homeowners who don’t have a municipal sewage treatment plant. A septic system requires regular cleaning, inspection and maintenance to function properly. If a septic system isn’t well-maintained, a backup of untreated wastewater may flow into the house, causing unpleasant odors and potentially serious health problems.

A septic system has a long lifespan, but it can require repair or replacement if not properly maintained. Performing routine maintenance on the system helps prevent malfunctions, and regular septic tank pumping keeps solid waste from clogging the soil pores in the drainfield.

Septic tank pumping involves a vacuum truck with a large hose that enters the septic tank through the open lids. The septic tank is then pumped of all the sludge, effluent and scum. This is a hazardous waste job, and companies must comply with federal laws for disposing of this material. In the past septic tank companies dumped this waste in landfills, but with stricter regulations they now recycle the majority of it.
