Say Goodbye to Drafty Walls in Your Columbus Home
Does it feel like no matter how high you turn up the heat, those walls just radiate cold? Many Columbus homes, especially older ones in Clintonville, German Village, Bexley, and Upper Arlington, were built with little to no wall insulation. The result is chilly drafts, uneven temperatures, and energy bills that make you wince every month.

What is Dense-Pack Wall Insulation?
Dense-pack is a proven, professional method of retrofitting insulation into your existing walls without the mess and expense of removing drywall. It’s the smart solution for Columbus homeowners.
Eco-Friendly Cellulose Material
We use premium cellulose insulation made from 85% recycled content. It's treated with borate for natural fire resistance and pest deterrence safe for your family and the environment.
High-Density Installation
Unlike loose-fill, we blow insulation at 3.5+ pounds per cubic foot density. This completely fills every cavity, prevents settling, and blocks air movement for maximum performance.
Zero Drywall Removal
Small 2-inch access holes are all we need drilled from exterior siding or interior walls. After insulating, we seal everything perfectly. Your home stays intact, clean, and beautiful.
Immediate Results
Feel the difference instantly. Dense-pack stops drafts, stabilizes temperatures, reduces noise, and starts saving you money from day one. Most projects completed in just 1-2 days.
The Complete Value of Dense Pack Wall Insulation
When you invest in dense-pack insulation for your Columbus home, you gain far more than just energy savings. You transform your entire living experience with improvements you notice immediately and benefits that compound over the decades you live in your home.
Significant Energy Savings
Reduce heating and cooling costs by 15% to 25%. With average Columbus utility rates, most homeowners save $300 to $600 annually. The investment typically pays for itself in 3 to 5 years through energy savings alone, then continues saving you money for decades.
Complete Draft Elimination
Dense-pack fills gaps and cracks that traditional batt insulation cannot reach. No more chilly drafts near walls and windows, no more cold spots when sitting on the couch. Just consistent, comfortable temperatures in every corner of your Columbus home.
Enhanced Home Comfort
Experience more even temperatures room to room. Your HVAC system works more efficiently, cycling less frequently and lasting longer. Enjoy a cozier, more livable home year-round regardless of outside weather conditions in Central Ohio.
Superior Sound Dampening
Dense cellulose significantly reduces noise transmission from outside traffic, neighbors, and between rooms. Many Columbus homeowners report noticing the peace and quiet immediately. It is like getting a sound barrier as a bonus benefit.
Eco-Friendly Material
Our cellulose insulation contains 85% recycled content (mostly recycled newspaper), reducing landfill waste. By cutting your energy consumption, you lower your carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable Columbus community. It is good for your wallet and the planet.
Increased Property Value
Well-insulated homes command higher resale values in the Columbus real estate market. Energy-efficient upgrades are highly attractive to buyers. Many homes qualify for green certifications and improved appraisals, making your investment pay dividends when it is time to sell.
Moisture Management
Dense-pack cellulose helps manage moisture in wall cavities. It is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb and release moisture without losing effectiveness. This helps buffer your wall assembly against humidity swings, reducing risk of condensation and mold issues.
Fire Resistance
Cellulose insulation treated with borate is Class 1 fire-rated, the highest fire resistance rating. It will not spread flames and actually helps slow fire progression, adding an extra layer of safety protection for your Columbus family.
Long-Lasting Performance
When properly installed at dense-pack density, cellulose resists settling. Studies show less than 2% settling over decades. This means the insulation you install today will still be performing at peak efficiency 30, 40, even 50 years from now.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wall Dense Pack Insulation
Get answers to the most common questions Columbus homeowners ask about dense-pack wall insulation. Still have questions? Call us at (419) 948-0658 for immediate answers.
Dense pack is a method of installing insulation (usually cellulose) into enclosed wall
cavities under high pressure. The insulation material is blown in until it tightly fills the entire wall space at a density of 3.5 to 4 pounds per cubic foot, sealing gaps and
preventing air leaks. This creates a thick, draft-free thermal barrier inside your walls without having to remove drywall.
No, we do not remove large sections of drywall or siding. We dense-pack by drilling a series
of small holes (about 2 inches in diameter) in each wall cavity, typically either from the
inside through drywall or outside through exterior siding. We then blow insulation in
through these holes. Afterward, we patch and seal the holes professionally. Once painted or
covered, the patches are barely noticeable, so your walls stay completely intact.
Savings vary by home, but Columbus homeowners often see 15% to 25% reduction in heating and
cooling costs after insulating previously empty walls. In a Columbus climate with cold
winters and hot humid summers, wall insulation makes a major impact. You will notice your
furnace and AC running less frequently. With average local utility rates, most homeowners save $300 to $600 annually, meaning the investment typically pays for itself in 3 to 5 years.
The cost depends on your home size, number of stories, and wall accessibility. In Columbus,
typical costs range from $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot of wall area (all-inclusive of
materials and labor). For example, a 2,000 square foot house might have approximately 1,600
square feet of exterior wall, resulting in roughly $2,400 to $4,000 total investment. We
provide firm quotes after an on-site evaluation. Remember that federal tax credits (up to
$1,200) and Ohio efficiency rebates (up to $4,000) can significantly offset your cost.
Most wall dense-pack jobs are completed in 1 day for an average single-family Columbus home.
Larger or multi-story homes may take 2 days. Our process includes inspection, drilling
access holes, dense-packing each cavity, sealing all holes, and thorough cleanup. You can
remain in your home during installation as it is minimally disruptive, with some noise from
the blower equipment but no major interference with daily activities.
Yes, cellulose is very safe. It is made from 85% recycled paper treated
with non-toxic borate compounds. Borate acts as a fire retardant (cellulose is Class 1
fire-rated, the highest rating-6587845215) and also deters mold and pests. It will not irritate skin or
lungs like fiberglass can. Regarding moisture, cellulose is hygroscopic, meaning it can
absorb and release moisture without losing effectiveness, which helps buffer wall cavities
against humidity. It is also environmentally friendly with high recycled content and low
embodied energy.
When properly installed at dense-pack density (3.5 to 4 pounds per cubic foot), cellulose
insulation is designed to stay in place for the life of your home. The high-density
installation prevents settling because the material is locked in tightly. Field studies show
that properly dense-packed cellulose has negligible settling, typically less than 2% over
decades. Our experienced installers ensure correct density, so your insulation will perform
at peak efficiency for 30, 40, even 50+ years.
Cost and performance balance. Dense-pack cellulose is typically 30% to 50%
less expensive than injection foam while providing excellent thermal performance and air
sealing. Cellulose is eco-friendly, breathable, and allows some moisture management. It also
provides superior sound dampening compared to foam. While spray foam offers slightly higher
R-value per inch, dense-pack achieves comparable whole-wall performance at a fraction of the
cost, making it the smart choice for most Columbus retrofit projects. We can discuss both
options to determine what fits your needs and budget best.
Yes, comprehensive coverage. We offer a 5-Year Installation Warranty
covering workmanship and proper density. If any issues arise such as settling or
deficiencies in coverage due to our installation, we will address them at no cost. We also
provide a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Our goal is that you are completely thrilled with the
comfort improvement and energy savings. If you experience any concerns after installation,
contact us immediately and we will make it right.
