Spray Foam: Hero or Villain? 🦸‍♂️🦹‍♂️

Spray foam gets called everything from “the best insulation ever” to “a mold trap scam” 🤯 The truth? Foam isn’t the villain — bad installs + bad info are. When done right, it lowers bills 40–50%, keeps homes dry, and actually makes HVAC work smarter. Drafts aren’t “breathing”… they’re money leaks 💸
