The Hidden Costs of Old Insulation in Edmonton Homes

Martha Laverde • July 17, 2025

Outdated insulation could be silently draining your wallet and damaging your home.

If your home was built before 2005, there’s a good chance your insulation is underperforming — or failing altogether. And that means you’re paying more for heat and risking long-term damage.


Old insulation tends to settle, sag, or become moisture-damaged — especially in Alberta’s dry winters and wet springs. This opens the door to drafts, inconsistent heating, and even hidden mold growth inside your walls or attic.

Upgrading to closed-cell spray foam not only restores your R-value but seals your home tight against leaks, rodents, and moisture. It’s a one-time fix that can dramatically cut your utility bills and prevent future repairs.
