Homes South of the River
Spray foam insulation in South Hutchinson serves a small city with a direct tie to Hutchinson's salt history. South Hutchinson was founded in 1887 by Benjamin Blanchard of Terre Haute, Indiana, the land speculator whose drilling for oil that year turned up the area's salt deposits instead. Its first post office opened in August 1887. The 2020 census counted 1,295 housing units, 8.7 percent vacant.
Typical homes
South Hutchinson has a mix of older houses and mid-century and later homes, many with basements and attached or detached garages. The usual needs are attic sealing and depth, foam on the rim joist, and insulation in garages people use as workshops.
Near the river
Houses on lower ground near the Arkansas River can have damp basements. We check for water before insulating any foundation wall; foam is not waterproofing.
Summer and winter
Like Hutchinson, South Hutchinson sees dozens of 90F afternoons and well over a hundred freezing mornings a year. Sealing the attic helps in both seasons.
Garages and shops
Many homes have a detached garage or steel building. Closed-cell foam stops condensation on steel and makes it practical to heat.
What the visit covers
We go into the attic and measure what is there in several spots, then look at the basement or crawl space, especially the rim joist. If there is a garage or shop, we look at that too. The written quote lists each area on its own line.
Comparing quotes
Ask every insulation contractor for the same details, area by area: material, depth, R-value and price. Our quotes are written that way so you can compare them line for line.
