Icynene Wall Insulation Nationwide

Icynene Wall Insulation in Schertz: What to Know First

We provide independent Icynene wall insulation service in Schertz, typically turning most wall jobs around in one to two days once diagnostics are complete. Most Icynene injection foam or drill-and-fill wall projects in this market run between $2,800 and $5,400 depending on wall cavity condition and accessibility. We publish a written price before any work starts, and every job closes with a Documented Photo Record.

This page is for Schertz homeowners who already have Icynene in their walls and need to add, replace, or troubleshoot that insulation. Maybe you’re in a 2018-era build in the Sedona subdivision where the original Icynene LD-C-50 has settled below the top plate, or you’re dealing with a retrofit gone wrong in an older home off FM 1518. Wherever you are in Schertz, call (830) 402-5240 for a free estimate and a written price you can hold in your hand.

How Icynene Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Icynene LD-C-50 shrinkage in tall wall cavities. The open-cell formulation can pull away from framing members in 9-foot and taller walls common in newer Schertz construction, creating a thermal bypass at the stud edges. We diagnose this with borescope inspection and thermal imaging, then inject additional foam or switch to a higher-density closed-cell product like Icynene MD-R-200 for the repair zone.
• Icynene Classic Max settling in drill-and-fill retrofits. When blown into existing walls through exterior holes, this mid-density open-cell product can settle 15-20% over the first two years, leaving a cold band at the top of the cavity. We find this with infrared scanning and remediate by re-drilling at the top of the stud bay and adding supplementary fill, or recommending a full cavity extraction and re-install if the gap exceeds three inches.
• MD-R-200 moisture lock in south-facing Schertz walls. The closed-cell structure is vapor-impermeable, which is normally an asset, but when installed over damp sheathing in our humid subtropical climate, it can trap moisture against the back of siding. We always run a moisture probe reading before touching MD-R-200 in retrofit work, and we’ll air-seal the interior side first rather than create a double vapor barrier.
• Classic Max overspray into electrical boxes during original installation. This is a workmanship defect we see in tract homes built during the 2019-2021 rush, where foam encroached on junction boxes and created a fire-code violation. We extract the contaminated foam with specialized cutting tools, verify conductor integrity, and re-insulate with a dammed application that keeps the box clear.
• LD-C-50 degradation from rodent intrusion in crawl-adjacent walls. Open-cell foam is not a food source, but rodents tunnel through it readily, and we see this in Schertz homes with crawl space access near greenbelts. We remove the damaged sections, seal the entry path with steel mesh and foam, then re-insulate with a more pest-resistant closed-cell product or add a physical barrier.

Our Icynene Wall Insulation Process

1. 1
   Blower-door test and thermal imaging. We pressurize the house to measure total envelope leakage, then use infrared to map exactly where the Icynene has failed or where walls are missing insulation entirely.
2. 2
   Borescope inspection of suspect cavities. A fiber-optic camera through a half-inch probe hole shows us foam density, adhesion, and any settling gaps without tearing out drywall.
3. 3
   Written scope and price. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, you get a flat price, written scope, and written warranty before anyone lifts a tool. No exceptions.
4. 4
   Air sealing before insulation. We seal top plates, electrical penetrations, and plumbing chases with compatible sealants. Seal the leaks first. Then insulate. The attic doesn’t care how thick the insulation is if the air is still moving through it.
5. 5
   Icynene installation or repair. We use OEM Icynene products or quality aftermarket equivalents from Demilec where appropriate, matched to the original specification or upgraded based on what the cavity condition demands.
6. 6
   Post-work verification and documentation. We run a second blower-door test on applicable jobs, provide before-and-after CFM50 readings, and deliver your Documented Photo Record with thermal images and depth-stick photos.

What Icynene Wall Insulation Costs in Schertz

What moves the price: wall cavity height, exterior cladding type (brick requires longer drill bits and more labor), whether we need to extract existing material, and accessibility for our hose rigs. Homes in the Schertz hills with tight lot lines sometimes need our compact unit rather than the standard trailer-mounted rig.
