Spray Foam Insulation in Leicester, NC

Spray Foam Insulation in Leicester covers farm country. The area about 10 miles northwest of Asheville was for decades one of Buncombe County's most important agricultural sections. A post office opened here in 1829, when the area was called Turkey Creek, and the community was chartered as the town of Leicester in 1859 before the charter was repealed in 1905.

Farmhouses and newer homes

Older farmhouses in Leicester were built well before insulation was common. They usually have vented crawl spaces or partial basements, uninsulated walls, and attics with a thin layer of old material. Newer homes on rural lots tend to have crawl spaces too, along with garages and bonus rooms.

Plenty of outbuildings

Rural lots here often include barns, equipment sheds and workshops. Steel buildings collect condensation on the underside of the roof; closed-cell foam on the steel insulates and stops the drip. Wood-framed shops can be insulated with open-cell or batts and blown-in for less.

A large township

Leicester Township had 21,335 people in the 2020 census, spread over a wide area of valleys and ridges at around 2,100 feet. We plan travel and scheduling so rural jobs get the same attention as in-town work.

Crawl spaces on rural lots

Rural Leicester homes often sit on block foundations with open vents and dirt floors. Ground moisture rises into the crawl space and humid summer air comes in through the vents. A heavy ground liner, sealed vents and closed-cell foam on the walls change that. If a spring or seep runs near the house, we flag it so drainage can be handled first. We also check well and plumbing lines that run through the crawl space, since they need protection from freezing.
