Our expert team, equipped with the latest application technology, ensures precise and comprehensive coverage, providing your home with an unmatched insulation envelope. The results are transformative: homes insulated with our spray foam services boast consistent indoor temperatures, reduced energy consumption, and an enhanced acoustic environment. Trust Leading Edge Insulation to integrate this modern marvel into your new home, merging architectural elegance with cutting-edge energy efficiency.

Experience the finesse of tailored insulation with Leading Edge Insulation's blown-in wall insulation services for new homes. Walls form the primary barrier between the cozy interiors and the external elements, and insulating them flawlessly is crucial for optimal comfort and efficiency. Blown-in insulation, with its adaptable nature, offers a seamless fit within wall cavities, ensuring every inch is insulated without gaps or compressions. Our expert technicians utilize specialized equipment to pneumatically inject the insulation, whether it's cellulose, fiberglass, or mineral wool, providing a dense and even coverage. This method is particularly advantageous for new constructions, allowing precision insulation even in complex architectural designs and tight spaces. By integrating Leading Edge's blown-in wall insulation into your new home, you're ensuring a robust, energy-efficient envelope that delivers unparalleled comfort and long-term savings.


Unlock the true potential of your lower levels with Leading Edge Insulation's expert basement retrofit services. Basements, with their subterranean nature, are uniquely predisposed to thermal and moisture challenges, making effective insulation paramount for both comfort and structural integrity. Over the years, previous insulation measures may have become insufficient, leading to cold drafts, potential mold growth, and energy inefficiencies. Our approach to basement insulation is both holistic and meticulous. We begin with a thorough assessment to identify areas of heat loss and potential moisture intrusion. Then, harnessing a range of advanced materials—from water-resistant spray foam to high-density batts—we craft a seamless insulation layer. This not only ensures consistent temperatures but also wards off moisture-related issues. With Leading Edge's basement insulation services, transform this often-underutilized space into a warm, dry, and inviting extension of your living area, all while significantly bolstering your home's overall energy efficiency.

Air Leakage Testing

Discover the unseen avenues of energy loss with Leading Edge Insulation's meticulous air leakage testing services. Every home, over time, can develop small gaps and fissures that allow conditioned air to escape and external air to seep in, leading to heightened energy costs and compromised indoor comfort. Our state-of-the-art air leakage testing employs advanced gear, notably the blower door test equipment, to determine the rate and locations of air infiltration. This process involves placing a large fan at an external door, which depressurizes the home. Using smoke pencils or infrared cameras, our skilled technicians can then detect areas where air leakage occurs. These findings enable us to provide targeted solutions, ensuring a tighter building envelope. By choosing Leading Edge's air leakage testing, homeowners are investing in a precise diagnostic process that culminates in enhanced comfort, superior air quality, and notable energy savings.

Weatherization
