Pines, Shops and Commutes
Spray Foam Insulation in Walker covers a mix of commuter homes and rural lots with shops. Walker sits about 20 miles east of Baton Rouge along Interstate 12 and calls itself the Pine Tree Capital of the World. The area was settled in 1825, renamed Walker in 1890 and became a city in 2011, so it has both old homesteads and new subdivisions.
Under the pines
Tall pines shade roofs, which helps in summer, but they also drop needles into gutters and onto roofs, and a clogged gutter can back water into the eaves. Before insulating, we check the attic edges for water stains and damp insulation near the soffits.
Shops and barns
Larger lots around Walker mean steel shops, garages and barns. Bare steel gets hot and drips condensation. Closed-cell foam on the roof and walls stops the drip and cuts the heat, and we size the thickness to whether you plan to air condition the space.
Commuter homes and long drives
With Interstate 12 carrying a lot of Walker residents to work in Baton Rouge, many houses sit empty and closed up during the day. A house that is well sealed holds its temperature through the afternoon heat, so it is not a furnace when you get home and the system is not fighting to catch up. Air sealing the attic floor, insulating the garage ceiling and fixing the attic hatch are low-cost steps that make a noticeable difference. HomeGuide lists air sealing at $350 to $3,000 depending on the house, and it is often the first line on our quotes here.
Slightly higher ground
Walker sits at about 46 feet, higher than many river towns nearby, but it is still in the same humid climate. Crawl spaces under raised homes here benefit from a ground liner and sealed vents just like anywhere else in the parish. Get a free estimate
