If you’re like many homeowners, you may have heard of spray foam insulation and know it can help lower your energy bills but don’t quite understand how it works. Here at South Central Services, we get this question weekly from home and business owners living in Greencastle and the surrounding area. Spray foam insulation is a type of polyurethane plastic, and it’s made of two liquid chemical components that undergo a reaction to create the foam. These chemicals are called A-Side and B-Side and they are purchased by professional contractors, who facilitate the chemical reaction inside specialized rigs to create the spray foam insulation that’s used in homes and commercial buildings.

Essentially, spray foam 316 Insulation forms little pockets or cells that make it difficult for heat and sound to transfer through them. This makes them a great insulator, and they expand to fill in the small spaces and nooks of a building’s frame. In addition, spray foam is impermeable to water, which helps prevent leaks and moisture damage that can occur in walls or crawl spaces if they are not properly insulated.

Why 316 Insulation is Your Best Choice for Spray Foam Insulation

Unlike fiberglass or cellulose insulation, which are not designed to be installed in open cavities such as those found in new construction or old, unfinished attics and crawl spaces, spray foam can easily be applied in these areas, along with rim joists, walls and foundations. Spray foam also lasts longer than traditional insulation, as it doesn’t compress or sag over time.

Plumbing services are a vital part of handling wastewater in homes that aren’t connected to the city sewer system. These systems sanitize the water before it flows into other water sources, which is important in keeping diseases like dysentery and hepatitis away from human populations. However, a septic system will only function properly if it receives periodic maintenance.

A septic system consists of a house sewer drain, septic tank, distribution box and soil absorption field. The house sewer drain collects all the waste discharged from toilets, showers, bathtubs and sinks and connects to the septic tank. The septic tank is a concrete or fiberglass, water tight container that is buried underground and has one or two chambers. Wastewater enters the septic tank through the inlet pipe and is temporarily stored until the heavy solids settle at the bottom of the tank or the fats and grease (called floatables) float to the surface. The liquid waste then exits the septic tank through the outlet pipe and into the drainfield area.

Why Regular Septic Maintenance Is Crucial for Your Home

Septic tank pumping services remove accumulated sludge and solid waste from the septic tank. During the service, a technician will inspect the inlet and outlet pipes, measure the sludge and scum layers, and pump out the entire contents of the septic tank. This helps prevent clogs, leaks and other problems that can damage the septic system or harm the environment.

A septic system can also be protected from overflow and flooding by having an alarm installed on the inlet and outlet pipes. These alarms can detect changes in pressure and volume that indicate a septic system failure or overflow is occurring. Homeowners should look for a licensed septic contractor that offers excellent customer service. This includes responding promptly to questions, being professional and courteous and respecting homeowners’ property.
