When warm air escapes through small cracks and gaps in your ceiling, it adds up. Enough leaks can waste as much heat as leaving a window open in the attic. As air leaves, new air is drawn in through your floors, walls, and windows. That’s the draft you feel at night and why your furnace and air conditioner keep running.
At Mohawk Valley Spray Foam, we solve the problem at its source. With more than 10 years of experience in New York and Pennsylvania, we seal and insulate the areas that matter most. This helps your home maintain a steady temperature and gives your equipment a break. We handle jobs of any size, from whole-home retrofits to small crawl spaces.
We handle home comfort insulation of every kind:
Our focus is on three main areas: the attic, the basement, and the center of your home. When the attic and basement are taken care of, the rest of the house usually follows. Every home is different, so we check everything before giving you a quote.
The rim joist, where your floor joists meet the foundation, is often overlooked and can allow air to leak. It runs in short sections around your home, and spray foam seals it better than batts. We also seal ductwork, which can let in extra heat during the summer.
Recessed can lights, attic stairs, and window gaps all let out heated or cooled air. We cover can lights, add covers to attic stairs, and use low-expansion foam around windows. These small fixes add up and can lower your bills.
Sealing without thinking about airflow is not healthy. We plan for areas that get hot and for appliances that need fresh air, so you avoid carbon monoxide and keep your indoor air clean. Good insulation is about balance, not just covering everything.
Spray foam is a great option, but it’s not the only one. Blow-in fiberglass works well for attic floors, where 13 inches gives you an R-38 rating. We explain the cost and benefits of each option, so you can decide what’s best for you.
Many homeowners see lower utility bills right away and feel the difference the first evening, once the draft is gone. Air conditioners that used to run nonstop or cycle on and off too often start working more smoothly and quietly.

Relax on your sofa on a winter evening without cold air across the floor, and see the savings on your next bill.
An insulated home is a comfortable home. Time and time again we hear from customers who are shocked and thrilled with the new comfort, warmth, and temperature regulation of their freshly insulated home. Well-done foam will block drafts and retain heat in for a far more comfortable, relaxing conditioned space.
Closed cell foam insulation is waterproof, meaning that installed in your roof or walls, it will shed moisture and block bulk water that could lead to mildew or mold development in your home for a safer family environment.
Homes that are well-insulated will pay for themselves in energy savings. Research shows that properly insulated homes can reduce heating and cooling costs by as much as 75%, meaning that the expense of insulating will pay for itself over time.
Many homeowners notice savings on their next utility bill. The comfort change is even faster. Once leaks are sealed, the draft across your floor is gone by the next evening.
The ceiling, attic, and basement rim joist—where the joists meet the foundation—are key areas. The rim joist is often overlooked and is a major source of air loss.
Yes, we offer air sealing with our Super Seal package. It covers windows, recessed can lights, attic stairs, and ductwork. Sealed ductwork is especially important in summer, when hot air can get pulled in and make your air conditioner work harder.
Often, yes. New windows won’t help much if heat is still escaping through the ceiling. Sealing and insulating the attic and basement tackles the biggest problems first.
Older homes often need insulation upgrades the most. Over time, old insulation loses R-value, and fiberglass batts can act more like air filters than seals, collecting dust and breaking down where air flows. Rodents can also cause damage. New spray foam or blow-in fiberglass restores both the seal and the R-value.
Yes. In addition to insulation, we offer a plug-in, high-performance air purifier that helps remove particles, odors, dust, pollen, and mold from your home’s air. Ask us about adding one during our visit.
The cost depends on your home’s size, the areas that need work, and the method you choose. We’ll give you an honest quote after we see your space, so you know what to expect before we start.
Your home should stay warm in January and cool in July without your equipment running nonstop. When leaks are sealed and insulation is done right, you get lower bills, quieter equipment, and comfort in every room. Let us find and fix the drafts you can’t see.
