Beach Communities on the Bay
Spray Foam Insulation in Bangor Township covers beach cottages along Saginaw Bay and suburban homes west and north of Bay City. The township was established in 1859, after Joseph Trombley bought land there in 1834. It had 14,045 residents at the 2020 census, down from 14,641 in 2010.
The beaches
Of the township's 21.9 square miles, 8.0 are water. Beach communities line the shore: Aplin (Wenona) Beach, Donahue Beach, Killarney Beach, Little Killarney Beach, Lagoon Beach and Tobico Beach, with Donahue and Lagoon near the mouth of the Kawkawlin River. Many homes there began as cottages on crawl spaces.
Cottages
Bay cottages face damp air and wind off the water. The usual plan is to seal the crawl space with a vapor barrier and closed-cell foam on the walls and rim, or to foam the floor if the space has to stay vented, and then seal the attic.
History nearby
West Bay City formed in 1877 from Banks, Salzburg and Wenona, and Bay Side was established as a coal mining village in 1899. Older homes in those areas share the construction of Bay City's west side.
Suburban homes
Post-war and newer homes inland usually need attic sealing and depth and rim joist foam.
Winterizing a beach house
Owners who keep a beach house open into late fall or use it on winter weekends usually want the floor warm and the pipes safe. A sealed crawl space with closed-cell foam on the walls and rim keeps the plumbing space close to house temperature, and an attic sealed and insulated to depth stops the heat loss overhead.

Bangor Township Questions
Can you insulate a beach cottage on Saginaw Bay?
Yes. Crawl space or floor and rim first, then the attic.
Should my cottage crawl space be sealed?
If it can be closed off, usually yes. We check for water first.
What do inland Bangor homes need?
Attic sealing and depth and rim joist foam.
Does spray foam help with damp smells?
Closed-cell foam keeps damp air off cold surfaces, which removes the condensation that causes them.
Can a cottage be left lightly heated after insulation?
A sealed, insulated crawl space and rim make that much safer for the pipes, though very cold snaps still call for checking on it.
