Under the floor
Crawl space and basement insulation
Cold floors are not a flooring problem. They are an unheated volume of air directly underneath.
Why foam works down here when fitted products do not
A crawl space sits at close to outdoor temperature for most of the winter, and your floor is the only thing between that and a heated room. Crawl spaces are also hostile to anything cut to size: the joist bays are rarely uniform, pipework and wiring run through them, and the rim joist around the perimeter is one of the leakiest details in a typical house. Foam expands into what it touches, so it fills the rim joist properly, seals around penetrations rather than being trimmed around them, and stays put because it is bonded rather than wedged. Closed-cell adds water resistance and vapour behaviour, which matters in a space closer to the ground than to the living room.
Less disruptive than people expect
Almost none of this happens in your living space. The crew works from below, so the furniture stays where it is and the house stays usable, and most homes are a matter of days rather than weeks. What does take time is preparation: clearing storage, making the area safe to spray, and protecting anything that needs it. One caution worth stating plainly. If the space is genuinely wet rather than merely cold, moisture is the first job and insulation is the second, and we would rather tell you that at the assessment than discover it halfway through.
