spray foam
Pressurized gap filler
Spray foam is a type of insulation material that expands dramatically when applied, filling gaps and creating an airtight seal.
It comes in two main varieties: open-cell, which is softer and less dense, and closed-cell, which is rigid and provides a moisture barrier.
Contractors spray it into wall cavities, attics, and crawl spaces where it hardens into a permanent layer.
The contractor recommended spray foam for the basement to prevent moisture problems.
