River Ground, Plant Neighbors
Spray Foam Insulation in St. Gabriel serves homes on low ground along the east bank of the Mississippi, about 12 miles south of Baton Rouge at around 16 feet. Wikipedia notes the area moved from a mostly agricultural economy to one dominated by the petrochemical industry.
Storm history
Gustav destroyed the steeple of St. Gabriel Catholic Church, one of the oldest in the state, in 2008, and the women's correctional institute in town flooded and was evacuated in 2016. Wind and water both find their way into attics and under floors. We check for old storm damage in the insulation before adding more.
Crawl spaces
Low river ground means damp crawl spaces. Encapsulation, or at least a liner and good floor insulation, keeps the space under the house drier.
Plan for heat on the job
Summer jobs in St. Gabriel's river bottom are hot work, and attics can top 130F. We schedule attic work early in the day when we can and plan the visit so you know when the house will be noisy or closed off. Spray foam needs the area ventilated and the household out for at least a day, per HomeGuide's guidance, so we agree on dates in advance. Blown-in jobs are quicker and you can usually stay home. We put the expected timeline on the quote along with the price, so you can plan around shift work or other commitments.
Steel buildings
With industry close by, many owners have steel shops and garages. Closed-cell foam on the steel is our standard approach to heat and drip. Get a free estimate
