Spray Foam Insulation in Burns, TN

Spray foam insulation in Burns covers a small town with a lot of recent growth. Burns had 1,366 residents and 582 housing units in 2000, and 1,573 residents by 2020. It covers about 3.7 square miles and is bordered by the city of Dickson on three sides.

Homes on crawl spaces

Many houses here sit on vented crawl spaces. In summer, those vents pull in humid air that condenses under the floor. Sealing the vents, laying a vapor barrier and foaming the walls keeps the space dry and the floors comfortable.

Hot attics

Attics in Burns homes get very hot in July. Sealing the ceiling and blowing loose fill to R-38, the Zone 4 ceiling value in Tennessee's code summary, keeps more of that heat out of the house. If ducts are in the attic, foam under the roof deck is another option.

What a visit covers

We look under the house first, checking for sagging batts, standing water, open vents and duct leaks. Then we check the attic depth, the hatch and where the HVAC equipment sits. You get a written quote with each area listed separately, so you can do the crawl space first and the attic later if you like.
