Farm Roots and River Bottoms
Spray Foam Insulation in Mills River covers farmhouses, barns and newer homes alike. Mills River is among the oldest communities in Henderson County; its first landholder received a state deed in 1788, and it was long known as the fertile crescent for its farmland. The town itself was only incorporated in June 2003, and it spreads across about 22.5 square miles.
Two rivers
The Mills River flows west to east through the center of town, and the French Broad runs through its northeastern part. Homes on the lower ground near those rivers see more humidity and flood risk, so crawl space moisture is a big part of our work here.
Homes and households
The 2020 census counted 3,177 housing units in Mills River, 9.2% vacant, and 60.4% of households were married couples. Many of those are newer homes on larger lots, with crawl spaces, bonus rooms and attached garages.
Farm buildings and shops
Agricultural roots mean plenty of barns and equipment buildings. Steel buildings get closed-cell foam to stop condensation; wood-framed shops may be better served with open-cell or blown-in.
Newer subdivisions
Along with farms, Mills River has seen new subdivisions in recent decades, and many have bonus rooms over garages and vented crawl spaces. Bonus rooms are surrounded by attic on several sides and often run hot in summer. Sealing the kneewalls, insulating the sloped ceiling and the garage ceiling below, and checking the attic depth usually even out the temperature. Crawl spaces in newer homes can be encapsulated the same way as older ones.

Is my crawl space at risk if I live near the river?

Why is the room over my garage uncomfortable?
