Wall Cavity & Rim Joist in Tucson & Phoenix
Foam in your wall cavities and rim joists stops air leakage at the source — eliminating cold spots, dust intrusion, and the stack effect that pulls hot desert air into your home all summer.

Common questions about wall cavity & rim joist
Often, yes. For existing finished walls we can use injection foam, which is pumped through small access holes and expands to fill the cavity from the inside — no need to tear out drywall. For new construction or open framing, we spray directly. We'll tell you which method fits your walls after the walkthrough.
The rim joist — where the floor system meets the exterior wall — is one of the leakiest, least-insulated parts of a home and a major driver of the stack effect that pulls outside air in and pushes conditioned air out. Sealing it with foam stops that air movement at the source, improving comfort and efficiency throughout the house.
