Hot, Dry Sands and Busy Attics
Spray Foam Insulation in Haines City works in a town platted in 1884 after the South Florida Railroad arrived, renamed to honor railroad official Henry Haines, and incorporated as a town in 1914. Citrus growing and processing were the main industry for decades. Haines City sits on the Lake Wales Ridge, a low ridge of sandy hills, and its porous white sands and open terrain give it the hot, dry pattern that parts of interior Florida near the ridge are known for.
Storm history
In 2004, Haines City was hit by three hurricanes: Charley in August, then Frances, then Jeanne. Tropical Storm Fay followed in 2008. Many homes have had roof repairs or replacements since. If water got into the attic before a repair, the insulation underneath may be matted or stained and should be checked.
Newer subdivisions
Much of Haines City's recent growth is in newer subdivisions, where ducts and air handlers sit in the attic. Sealing those ducts and adding attic insulation to the DOE target, or spraying open-cell foam on the roof deck, usually brings the biggest drop in cooling costs.
Older homes
Near the historic core, older homes often have thin attic insulation and frame walls with little inside. Sealing and blowing in to at least R-38 is the first step.
Fire risk
A 350-acre brush fire in March 2009 came close to homes in the Randa Ridge area. Insulation does not make a home fire-resistant, but foam left exposed in living or storage space needs an approved barrier, and we always mark where.
