Rebuilt Near the Water

Spray foam insulation in Long Beach often involves raised homes. Long Beach started as an agricultural town known for radishes and incorporated on August 10, 1905, later turning toward tourism. Hurricane Katrina destroyed nearly everything close to the shoreline in 2005, and rebuilding near the beach has been shaped by federal flood rules. The 2020 census counted 7,348 housing units, 7.7 percent vacant.

Raised floors

Homes rebuilt near the beach often sit on piers or pilings with open space beneath. The floor is exposed to humid air and heat from below. Closed-cell foam on the underside of the floor seals and insulates in one step.

Older homes inland

Further from the beach, older houses on slabs and crawl spaces mostly need attic sealing and depth, plus duct sealing.

Flood rules

If your house sits in a flood zone, check local rules about enclosing or finishing space below the base flood elevation before planning any enclosure.

Under-floor ducts

Some raised homes run ductwork under the floor, exposed to outdoor air. Those ducts need to be sealed and insulated, or enclosed within the foamed floor system. We look at how your system is laid out before quoting.

Older homes in town

For slab ranch homes from the 1960s to 1990s, the attic is almost always the first place to work: seal the ceiling, seal the duct joints, then blow in to depth.
