Insulation Challenges Common in Dunmore Homes

Dunmore's residential character differs meaningfully from neighboring Scranton. Where Scranton's older core is defined by row homes and twins built in the early 20th century, Dunmore saw substantial residential growth in the 1950s through 1970s — producing a large stock of single-family detached ranches, split-levels, and cape cods that have their own insulation profile.

Homes from this era typically have fiberglass batt insulation that was installed to the codes of its day — often R-11 in walls and R-19 in attics. Those values fall significantly short of today's Climate Zone 5 minimums (R-20 walls, R-49 attic). Crawlspaces in these homes are frequently either uninsulated or insulated with degraded batts that have lost effectiveness. And rim joists — the band of framing at the top of the foundation wall — are almost universally uninsulated in homes of this vintage.

The practical effect: Dunmore homeowners in 1960s and 1970s ranches often experience cold floors above unheated crawlspaces, high heating costs, and inconsistent temperatures room-to-room. All of these are directly addressable with targeted insulation and air sealing work.

Our Insulation Services in Dunmore

Spray Foam Insulation — Dunmore

Closed-cell spray foam is our primary recommendation for Dunmore crawlspaces and rim joist areas. It delivers R-6 to R-7 per inch, resists moisture intrusion, and permanently seals air gaps that allow cold air to migrate under living spaces. For Dunmore's ranch homes — which sit low to the ground with significant crawlspace exposure — spray foam under the floor deck and on crawlspace walls dramatically improves comfort and thermal performance.

Cellulose Insulation — Dunmore

Blown-in cellulose is the most efficient way to upgrade Dunmore attics from the dated R-19 levels common in postwar homes to the code-required R-49. We can typically install blown cellulose over existing insulation (when it's in acceptable condition) in a few hours, with no structural disturbance to the living space below. For homes with knee wall areas and finished attic spaces, we assess the full attic envelope to ensure no thermal bypass areas are left unaddressed.

Fiberglass Insulation — Dunmore

For Dunmore new construction and open-wall renovation projects, fiberglass batt insulation remains a code-compliant and cost-effective choice. Our installation crews are trained on proper cut-and-fit technique that eliminates the gaps, voids, and compressions that reduce real-world R-value in improperly installed batt applications.

Blower Door Testing — Dunmore

A blower door test is the best starting point for any Dunmore homeowner uncertain about where to invest in insulation improvements. The test depressurizes your home and measures air changes per hour, then identifies the specific locations where infiltration is occurring. This prevents spending money on attic insulation when the real problem is a leaky basement rim joist — or vice versa.

Retrofit Spray Foam — Dunmore

Retrofit spray foam is particularly well-suited to Dunmore's inventory of 1950s to 1970s homes. Without opening walls or disrupting living spaces, we can spray foam the rim joist, crawlspace walls and deck, and attic knee walls — addressing the highest-impact areas in a property in a single day.
