Spray Foam Insulation in Essexville, MI

Spray Foam Insulation in Essexville covers older and post-war homes in this small city on the Saginaw River, whose motto calls it the "Gateway to the Saginaw Bay." Essexville was platted in 1867, named for local settler Ransom P. Essex, incorporated as a village in 1883 within Hampton Township, and became a city in 1934.

Housing

The 2020 census counted 3,379 residents and 1,528 housing units, only 6.3% vacant. Homes range from older frame houses near the river to mid-century ranches and two-stories.

What we usually do

Older homes get attic sealing and depth, dense-pack in the walls and foam on the rim. Post-war homes usually need the attic brought up to the Zone 5 target and the rim foamed.

Near the water

Homes close to the river and the bay deal with damp air. Closed-cell foam on rims and crawl space walls keeps it off cold surfaces.

Shopping-mall era homes

Hampton Square Mall, the first mall in the Bay City area, opened just outside Essexville and closed in 2010. The neighborhoods built in that era have the typical mid-century leaks at the attic floor and rim joist.

Basements in older blocks

Many Essexville homes have full basements with block or poured walls and a rim joist that has never been sealed. Cold air coming in at the sill settles on the basement floor and chills the rooms above. Closed-cell foam around the whole rim is usually a one-day job and one of the most noticeable improvements in a house this age, especially in rooms over the basement that feel cold underfoot.
