Expert Energy Efficiency & Structural Solutions for Homes and Businesses Across the Wyoming Valley
With over 11,000 homes built before 1940, much of the local housing stock was constructed long before modern energy-efficiency standards existed, leading to high energy bills and uncomfortable drafts. As new data centers and rising global energy prices increase prices in the region, homeowners need to prioritize high-performance insulation to prevent energy loss before costs rise out of their control.
In addition, two centuries of anthracite coal mining and unstable soil conditions caused by seasonal freeze-thaw cycles directly contribute to cracked or sinking concrete. If left untreated, this can lead to tripping hazards, pooling water that damages foundations, and a significant decrease in your property’s market value.
Improving energy efficiency and fixing sunken concrete doesn’t have to break the bank; thanks to high-performance spray foam insulation and polyfoam jacking, you can seal energy gaps and raise concrete quickly and affordably in Luzerne County.

EnergySmart provides a full suite of performance insulation and concrete lifting solutions designed for all housing types, whether you’re retrofitting an older home wth insulation or constructing a new one:
✅ High-Performance Spray Foam Insulation: Expands into a seamless airtight barrier that seals thermal gaps, blocks seasonal humidity, and prevents the energy loss responsible for high utility bills.
✅ Eco-Friendly Blown-In Cellulose: Dense-packed recycled material that provides superior fire resistance and exceptional thermal performance for attics and wall cavities.
✅ Versatile Blown-in Fiberglass: Fills hard-to-reach gaps and irregular spaces with high-density coverage to prevent heat loss and improve year-round comfort.
✅ Affordable Fiberglass Batt Insulation: Cost-effective, pre-cut panels designed for easy installation in standard framing to provide reliable moisture control and thermal protection.
✅ Injection Foam Insulation: Specialized liquid foam pumped directly into existing wall cavities to upgrade energy efficiency without the need for major demolition.
✅ Safe and Clean Insulation Removal: Professional extraction of old, contaminated, or inefficient materials using high-powered vacuums to ensure a sanitized and debris-free environment.
✅ Expert Air Sealing: Targeted closure of hidden gaps, cracks, and penetrations in the home’s envelope to prevent conditioned air from escaping and block outdoor pollutants.
✅ Privacy Soundproofing: High-density acoustic barriers installed within walls and ceilings to dampen vibrations and significantly reduce noise transfer between rooms.

Why Wyoming Valley Homes Struggle with Energy Efficiency and Sinking Concrete
Luzerne County’s insulation and concrete challenges are driven by its aging housing stock, anthracite mining history, and extreme seasonal climate. Urban areas like Wilkes-Barre and Nanticoke feature homes built between 1880 and 1940 with minimal insulation and settling foundations, while suburban communities often deal with concrete slabs sinking due to soil erosion and freeze-thaw cycles.
Over 11,000 homes in Luzerne County were built before 1940, many during the coal boom when energy efficiency was not a consideration. The region’s position in the Wyoming Valley creates winter temperatures that regularly drop below 20°F and summer conditions that push cooling systems to their limits. Meanwhile, the legacy of anthracite mining has left soil conditions prone to subsidence and compaction beneath concrete surfaces.
Common insulation and concrete issues across Luzerne County include:
- Heat loss through uninsulated or under-insulated attics leading to high heating bills
- Drafty walls and uncomfortable rooms due to missing or deteriorated wall insulation
- Sunken driveways, sidewalks, and patios caused by soil erosion and mining-related subsidence
- Cracked and uneven concrete creates tripping hazards and water drainage problems
- Energy waste and temperature imbalances in homes built before modern building codes
Without proper treatment and prevention, these problems can lead to structural damage, safety concerns, reduced property values, and rising utility costs.
