An Old Lumber Town Near the Bay
Spray Foam Insulation in Pinconning covers older homes in town and the farms and barns around it. Pinconning was founded in 1872 as a lumber settlement along the Pinconning River by George VanEtten and Henry Kaiser, incorporated as a village that year and became a city in 1935. It sits about 1.5 miles west of Saginaw Bay.
Cheese Capital
The city calls itself the "Cheese Capital of Michigan." William Reid started Pinconning Creamery in 1907, and the area became known for its cheese.
Housing
The city had 1,204 residents at the 2020 census, down 7.9% from 2010, and 637 housing units in 2010. Many homes are older frame houses with shallow attics and empty walls.
What we usually do
Attic sealing and depth, rim foam and dense-pack walls in town; closed-cell foam on steel in pole barns and dairy or storage buildings on surrounding farms.
Near the bay
Homes toward the shore deal with damp air, and closed-cell foam on rims and crawl space walls keeps it off cold surfaces.
Zone 5
Bay County is in Climate Zone 5A, where the Department of Energy recommends R-60 for an empty attic.
Older foundations
Some of the oldest homes in town sit on stone or early block foundations with uneven tops and gaps at the sill. Cold air comes straight in there. Closed-cell foam follows the irregular surface and seals it in one pass, which rigid board and batts cannot do well. We look for water first, since foam does not stop water coming through the wall.
