Spray Foam Insulation in Moosic covers a borough with both older village houses and newer homes.

It covers about 6.6 square miles and had 5,972 residents at the 2020 census.

Mountain weather

Moosic is home to Montage Mountain, with its ski resort, a water park built in 2008, and PNC Field nearby. The borough has a humid continental climate with four distinct seasons. Homes on higher ground see more wind and snow, and air sealing makes a real difference there.

Older homes

The older parts of Moosic and Greenwood have frame houses from the mining and mill years. They need attic sealing, cellulose to depth, wall dense-packing and sill and rim foam.

Newer homes

Newer homes are tighter but can still have thin attics, bare rim joists and cold rooms over garages. We target those spots.

Industry

Moosic was in a coal-mining region and once had canvas glove and silk plants. Today, manufacturers including a precision metal fabricator operate in the borough.

Housing

The 2010 census counted 2,500 housing units and 2,363 households.

Code and zone

Pennsylvania's 2021 UCC took effect January 1, 2026. Lackawanna County is in PHRC's Central zone and OpenEI's Zone 5A. DOE recommends R-60 for an uninsulated Zone 5 attic.

A typical Moosic job

For an older Moosic or Greenwood house, a common plan is: seal the attic floor and wall tops, blow cellulose to depth, foam the sill and rim, and dense-pack the walls. For a newer home, it is usually attic top-up and rim joist foam, plus any cold room over a garage.
