Spray Foam Insulation in Lyons, KS

Spray foam insulation in Lyons serves the Rice County seat. Lyons was founded in 1870 as Atlanta and renamed in 1876 for Freeman J. Lyons. It was incorporated in 1880, the same year the railroad reached it, and the Western Salt Company sank its first salt mine shaft here in 1890. Lyons' Main Street follows the Santa Fe Trail. The 2020 census counted 3,611 residents and 1,712 housing units.

Older homes

Many Lyons homes are older frame houses with small attics, hollow walls and basements. Attic sealing and depth, rim joist foam and dense-packed walls are the usual plan.

Farm and shop buildings

Rice County farmland has plenty of pole barns and shops. Closed-cell foam on the steel stops condensation.

Two seasons

Hot summers and cold winters both find leaks. Sealing the attic and rim helps in both.

Visit and quote

We look at the attic, the basement or crawl space, and any outbuildings, and send a written quote that lists each area separately.

Old wiring and vermiculite

Older houses can have knob-and-tube wiring or vermiculite in the attic. We flag both: wiring should be checked by an electrician, and vermiculite should be tested before anyone disturbs it.

Scheduling

Attic sealing and blown-in work usually takes a day. Foam jobs need everyone out for 24 hours or more while it cures, and unheated buildings need suitable temperatures.

Comparing quotes

Ask each insulation contractor to list material, thickness and R-value area by area.

Main Street and the Santa Fe Trail

Lyons' Main Street follows the old Santa Fe Trail, and the blocks around it hold some of the oldest houses in town. Those typically have the thinnest attic insulation and the leakiest rim joists, which makes them the best candidates for sealing.
