Spray Foam Insulation in Sanford, MI

Spray Foam Insulation in Sanford often means homes being repaired or rebuilt. Sanford sits on the Tittabawassee River at what was, until 2020, the south end of Sanford Lake. On May 19, 2020, the Sanford and Edenville dams failed, the village was evacuated and its downtown was largely destroyed.

History

Sanford was settled in 1864, platted in 1870 and incorporated as a village in 1963. It had 813 residents at the 2020 census, and 410 housing units in 2010.

Rebuilding

When walls, floors and basements are open after flood repairs, it is the best time to insulate. Closed-cell foam on basement walls, rims and crawl space walls resists water absorption and keeps damp air off cold surfaces. Open stud walls can take open- or closed-cell foam.

Older homes

Houses that were not damaged usually need the standard work: attic sealing and depth and rim foam.

Zone 5

Midland County is in Climate Zone 5A, where the Department of Energy recommends R-60 for an empty attic.

Water first

Before any foam goes in, the space must be dry, and drainage or grading problems should be fixed.

Homes on higher ground

Not every Sanford home flooded. Houses on higher ground mostly need the usual work for their age: attic sealing and depth, foam at the rim, and dense-pack in empty walls if the owner wants them filled. We price each area separately so you can choose what to do now.
