Why Vapor Barriers and Insulation?
Today, new homes in Columbia are mostly built on slabs and have strict insulation requirements that they must meet. However, even as little as a few decades ago homes in our community were built atop crawl spaces and rarely insulated to the level that is currently recommended. Vapor barriers and insulation protect your home and save you money.

Vapor Barrier Installation
Prevent moisture build up from damaging your crawl space. High moisture levels lead to termites, mildew, and mold growth! Vapor barriers are a low-cost, zero-maintenance, long-lasting moisture solution which will keep your crawl space safe.

Crawl Space Insulation
Uninsulated floors contribute to higher energy costs and make your HVAC system work harder. Stay more comfortable and save money all year long by insulating your floors and enjoy energy savings from our fiberglass batt insulation for decades to come.

Attic Insulation
You can reduce your monthly utility bills by up to 10% by properly insulating your attic. The minimum recommended r-value for South Carolina is R-38 and most older homes in the Midlands just don’t have enough! This home improvement project pays for itself faster than any other by saving you money on your utilities and on air conditioning maintenance costs.

Radiant Barrier Insulation
When paired with traditional insulation, radiant barrier insulation further reduces your cooling bills by 10%. This NASA-developed technology will allow you to enjoy cooler attic temperatures and lower energy costs for decades to come!

Why Work With Dragon Vapor Barriers and Insulation
We’re Vapor Barrier and Insulation Specialists
There are plenty of tradesmen who will install vapor barriers or insulation, but the truth is they typically just run out to a local hardware shop, pick up the cheapest materials they can find, and then install it as quickly as they can. As Columbia’s vapor barrier and insulation specialists, we take pride in our craftsmanship and our courteous and professional installers will treat you and your home with respect.
High Quality Materials
While we love repeat business, the reality is that the materials we use last for decades. Our vapor barriers are thicker than those available at big box stores, and will last 20-25 years. The loose-fill fiberglass insulation we install in attics and batt insulation in crawl spaces lasts even longer, easily providing 30 years of service.

The Tale of Dragon Vapor Barriers and Insulation
After working for a foundation repair company, Emmett Nolan realized that no one offered professional vapor barrier and insulation installation services in the Lexington/Columbia area. Sure, you could go with an expensive and unreliable encapsulation, or work with an insulation company who’d rather be working on new construction instead of homeowners – but why should people have to settle?
The Dragon is here to help homeowners in the Carolina Midlands protect their castle with affordable, durable, and effective solutions.
