Basement Spray Foam
Basement spray foam insulation seals and warms foundation walls in a single application, rough Galt fieldstone included. A clammy, cold cellar becomes a room you can actually use.

Why Us
Why Choose Cambridge Spray Foam Insulation
Numbers come first with us. Ontario spray foam insulation sells for roughly $2 to $7 per square foot, and on the phone we say which end of that spread your project probably sits at. After that, somebody comes by with a tape and a moisture meter, and the firm figure arrives on paper.
Workmanship is the second reason. Foam goes up in thin, even lifts rather than one thick blast, and a depth gauge gets pushed into it every few feet. A fieldstone cellar off Water Street, a sloped ceiling in Fiddlesticks and a steel drive shed outside Ayr each get a product and a thickness picked for that building, and the paperwork spells out which.

What We Spray
Spray Foam Insulation Services In Cambridge
Galt stone cellars, Ayr steel sheds and Hespeler bonus rooms each get a foam picked for the building.
Attic Spray Foam
Attic spray foam insulation keeps furnace heat from escaping through the ceiling and makes upstairs bedrooms bearable in summer and winter. Open attics, finished attics and sloped ceilings are all candidates for attic spray foam.

Crawl Space Spray Foam
Crawl space spray foam takes the bite out of cold floors and keeps earthy, damp air below the house where it belongs. Additions, sunrooms, old summer kitchens and cottages often need it.

Commercial Spray Foam
Commercial spray foam suits roof decks and walls in factories, warehouses, shops and offices, on steel, block or wood. It cuts heating losses and stops condensation in one application.

Metal Building Spray Foam
Metal building spray foam ends dripping steel and holds heat in workshops, machine sheds, quonset huts and steel garages. It bonds directly to the panels and closes every seam.

Garage Spray Foam
Garage spray foam heats up the cold bedroom over an attached garage and keeps exhaust fumes out of the house. Garages being turned into heated shops or home gyms get it too.

Wall Spray Foam
Wall spray foam fills opened stud cavities during a renovation and closes the cracks that let winter in. Plaster-and-lath houses, additions and new builds all benefit.

Rim Joist Spray Foam
Rim joist spray foam seals the board capping the ends of the floor joists, which is the leakiest spot in most basements. The job is short and the difference is easy to feel.

Insulation Removal
Insulation removal clears out foam that smells, has shrunk or has peeled off the studs, so a new layer can bond to clean lumber or concrete. We also handle insulation removal for old batts and loose fill in attics.

Benefits
What Are The Benefits Of Spray Foam Insulation?
Spray foam insulation blocks drafts at the outside wall, because it fills cracks and seams while it insulates.
Closed cell foam packs more heat resistance into each inch than batts or loose fill, which counts in shallow rafters and two-by-four walls.
Sprayed thick enough, closed cell foam stops vapour, so a basement wall no longer beads up with moisture in midsummer.
The foam sticks to stone, block, lumber and steel, so it never sags or slides down a cavity the way fibreglass can.
Once cured, rigid closed cell foam stiffens the studs and rafters it is bonded to.
Less air sneaking out means a furnace that cycles less often across a Waterloo Region winter.
What You Get On Every Spray Foam Insulation Job
Here is what comes with any project we take on, big or small.
- Before a visit is ever booked, you hear an honest price spread over the phone.
- The paper estimate names the product, the inch count and the square footage of every surface.
- Drop sheets and masking go over floors, windows and furniture before spraying starts.
- Depth readings are taken during the work and shown to you afterward.
- Trimmings are bagged, the floor is swept and the area is handed back tidy.
Foam work for Cambridge buildings
Stone Foundation Walls Leave Galt Basements Cold
Basement spray foam insulation is our first suggestion for fieldstone and rubble cellars. Scottish settlers built Galt from boulders the glaciers dropped on local farms, and plenty of houses in East Galt, West Galt and old Preston still sit on those walls.
Fieldstone is lumpy and riddled with mortar joints. Batts and foam board bridge over the low spots, leaving pockets where cold air circulates and damp gathers. Sprayed closed cell foam pushes into each hollow and seals every joint as it goes. The method is laid out on our basement spray foam page.
Hot Upstairs Bedrooms Usually Start In The Attic
Attic spray foam insulation holds furnace heat downstairs in January and blocks roof heat in July. Uncomfortable second floors usually trace back to air slipping up through pot lights, plumbing stacks and an unsealed hatch.
Those holes get sealed before any depth is added. Where a house has a finished attic or a sloped ceiling, foam applied to the roof boards does a job blown fibre cannot. Both approaches are compared on the attic spray foam page.
Foam Prices Are Clearer Than You Might Expect
Our spray foam insulation prices are given as simple per-foot spreads. Attics and basements tend to fall between $2.50 and $7. Steel sheds and wide-open commercial roofs frequently come in lower per foot, since the surfaces are big and easy to reach.
A spread is a starting point, never your final figure. Reach, product and inch count settle the number, and it goes on paper after one site visit. Try the calculator on this page for an early estimate.
Cold Floors Above A Crawl Space Waste Heat
Crawl space spray foam insulation takes the chill out of the floor overhead and stops musty ground air drifting upstairs. Around Cambridge, plenty of additions and old summer kitchens were set over a short crawl space instead of a full cellar.
Foam goes on the perimeter walls and the band joist, which pulls the crawl space inside the heated envelope. Vapour control and access are covered on the crawl space spray foam page.
Rim Joists Leak More Air Than Any Other Part Of A Basement
Rim joist spray foam insulation is the fastest cure for a drafty basement. The rim joist is the board running around the top of the foundation, capping the ends of the floor joists, and it is riddled with cracks.
Fibreglass pushed into those pockets slows very little air, and the lumber behind it often stays damp. Closed cell foam closes the cracks and keeps the wood dry. Rim joist spray foam usually wraps up in a morning or an afternoon.
Plants And Warehouses Lose Heat Through The Roof Deck
Commercial spray foam insulation fits the auto parts suppliers, machine shops and distribution buildings strung along Highway 401 and Highway 8. Warm air pools under a high roof, and gaps in a steel deck let it out.
Closed cell foam applied to the inside of that deck seals and insulates at once, and the schedule follows your shifts. More on plants, stores and offices is on the commercial spray foam page.
Steel Shops Drip When Warm Air Meets Cold Metal
Metal building spray foam insulation ends the indoor rain that forms on steel walls and roofs. Heat a shop in February and moisture in the air condenses on the cold sheeting, then drips onto tools, trucks and stock.
Foam bonded straight to the panels keeps their inner face above the dew point, so droplets have no place to form. North Dumfries is full of steel machine sheds and hobby shops with exactly this problem. Read the metal building spray foam page.
Cold Garages Make The Room Above Them Cold
Garage spray foam insulation fixes the chilly bonus room sitting over an attached garage. Lots of newer houses in Silver Heights, Fiddlesticks and east Hespeler have a bedroom up there that never warms through.
We spray the garage ceiling plus the walls it shares with the house, and the exterior walls too if you plan to heat the space. Details are on the garage spray foam page.
Old Plaster Walls Need A Different Approach
Wall spray foam insulation makes the most sense once walls are opened for a renovation. Mill-era houses in Hespeler and Preston often hide empty stud bays behind plaster and lath.
With the plaster gone, closed cell or open cell foam fills every bay and seals wire and pipe holes. A thin wall ends up holding far more insulation than batts allow. Go to the wall spray foam page for more.
Failed Foam Has To Come Out Before New Foam Goes In
Spray foam insulation removal is the answer when somebody else's job has gone bad. Foam that stinks, crumbles, or has shrunk back from the studs cannot be rescued by adding another layer.
It gets cut back to bare lumber, bagged and trucked out, and fresh foam follows. Old batts and loose fill are cleared from attics the same way. Read about insulation removal.
Closed Cell And Open Cell Foam Do Different Jobs
Closed cell spray foam insulation is heavy, hard and, at full thickness, a vapour retarder. It is what we put on foundation walls, crawl spaces, rim joists and steel.
Open cell foam is spongy, lighter and cheaper per foot. It suits attics and interior partitions where moisture is not the big worry. Each estimate states which product goes on which surface, and why.
Exposed Foam In A Living Space Needs A Cover
Foam in a room people use has to sit behind a protective layer, which normally means half-inch drywall. Ontario code calls that layer a thermal barrier.
Attics and crawl spaces may only need a lighter ignition covering. You will know which rule fits your space before spraying begins, and the local building department makes the final call.
Spray Foam Insulation For Older Cambridge Additions And Sunrooms
Additions and sunrooms are often the coldest rooms in the house. They were built later, on a different foundation, and the joints where old meets new tend to leak. Spray foam insulation along those joints, in the floor system and in the ceiling stops the draft where the two parts of the house meet.
We look at the whole room on the visit, not just one wall. The estimate shows what each part of the fix costs, so you can choose to do it all at once or in stages.
Our Process
What Happens During A Spray Foam Insulation Job?
-
You call, describe the space, and hear a realistic price spread right then.
-
We come out, measure, and look over the walls or framing for damp and rot.
-
A paper estimate arrives listing the product, the inch count and the square footage.
-
On spray day the room is masked, foam goes up in lifts, and depth is gauged as it builds.
-
Cleanup follows, then a walk-through, and you are told the hour it is safe to go back in.

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Most projects land somewhere from $2 to $7 per square foot, depending on product, depth and how easy the space is to reach. You get a spread on the phone and a firm price after one site visit.
Yes. Closed cell foam grips stone and old mortar and fills the uneven face. Any wall with water actively running through it gets flagged first, since that leak must be fixed before insulating.
Most rooms are ready roughly a day after spraying, once fresh air has flushed the space. Your re-entry hour comes in writing.
Yes. Steel buildings, shops and farm sheds around Ayr and the rest of North Dumfries make up a steady share of what we spray.
Nothing. Measuring, the moisture check and the paper estimate are all free.
