Spray Foam Insulation in Plant City, FL

Spray Foam Insulation in Plant City reaches just across the Hillsborough County line from Lakeland. Plant City is known for strawberries; the city says more than three quarters of the nation's midwinter strawberries come from here. Downtown, the Plant City Historic Residential District, listed in 1998, contains 185 Bungalow and Craftsman buildings.

Bungalows

Craftsman bungalows have low-pitched roofs, deep eaves, raised wood floors and attics that can be tight to work in. They tend to have little insulation and lots of air leaks at the ceiling and floor. Sealing and blowing in the attic, and closed-cell foam under raised floors, fit these houses well.

Cold snaps

Plant City gets colder than many people expect. The mean January minimum is 30.3F, and the record low is 15F. An insulated, sealed house holds heat better on those nights too.

Farm buildings

Steel barns, packing sheds and equipment buildings are everywhere around Plant City. Closed-cell foam cuts heat and stops condensation on the steel.

Wet summers

Average annual rainfall is 56.11 inches, most of it from June through September. We check every attic for roof leaks before insulating.

Floors over open crawl space

Many bungalows sit on piers with an open space underneath. On those cold January nights, air moving under the house chills the floor. Closed-cell foam bonded to the underside of the subfloor stops that air and does not sag like batts. In summer, the same foam keeps humid air from coming up through the floorboards. We check for termite activity and leave inspection room where foam meets the piers, and we remove any fallen batts first so nothing is trapped behind the new layer.
