Options Worth Considering |

Mold-Ban
One of the most
cost effective ways to avoid potential mold problems is to have
Smith Insulation install mold-ban during the home’s construction.
One application will protect the structure for fifty years and the homeowner will receive a ten-year warranty directly from the manufacturer.
Most General Liability insurance policies issued to builders do not protect them from claims that could result from future mold problems. Many builders recommend Mold-Ban protection to their homeowner clients as a way to protect the interests of both the home-owner and the builder.
The Mold-Ban chemical is sprayed onto the interior, lower surface of all exterior walls. Inside the crawl space, the first 18 inches of the floor area and top of the foundation is sprayed . The chemical is tinted pink to provide visibility to confirm proper coverage. |

Attic hatch covers
come in a wide range of sizes and styles that can be used on
disappearing stairs or knee wall access doors. Hatch covers help
slow the heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter thru
these usually poorly insulated areas. This is a great way to save
money by reducing your energy costs. |

Water Heater
Jacket
Helps lower your energy cost by slowing
the heat loss thru the sides of the water heater. The jacket
helps maintain your water temperature and reduces the number
of times the unit has to turn-on. If your water heater has an
R-value of less than R-24, a Water Heater Jacket could save up to 9%
on your cost of heating water. |

Air Sealing
Air sealing and draft blocking helps
keep the conditioned air in, thereby maintaining a higher comfort
level all through your home. The air sealing package consists of
foaming around windows and doors and caulking the shoe plates. We
also foam or chink behind electrical boxes.

A
recessed light box helps keep the light cool by allowing air flow
around the light and through pre- cut vent holes. Insulating up
against the flame resistant box helps save energy.
|
Gutter Klear
Gutter Klear is
specially designed to keep your gutters clean and clear of debris at
a price the homeowner can afford. Debris filled gutters can cause
water to run back into the home causing insulation damage, mold,
mildew , and wood rot. |

Tub Armor
Tub Armor is the low cost way to protect your tubs
and showers from damage during the long construction process. It is
a low cost way to achieve peace of mind and eliminate the risk of
having to replace these expensive components. This coating is easy
to peal-off when the house is completed.
