Spray Foam Insulation in Pass Christian, MS

Spray foam insulation in Pass Christian works on a town that has been rebuilt twice. Long a resort for wealthy New Orleans families, with a row of historic mansions along Scenic Drive, Pass Christian was in the path of Hurricane Camille in 1969 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Each caused near-total destruction. After Katrina, all but about 500 of roughly 8,000 homes were damaged or destroyed.

Newer, raised homes

Much of today's housing dates from after 2005, and many homes near the water are raised. Their floors face humid air underneath; closed-cell foam on the underside of the floor is the usual fix. Attics in newer homes typically need sealing and depth, and ducts in the attic need sealing.

Scenic Drive

Scenic Drive follows the crest of a small bluff, which gave it some elevation, but Katrina's surge still reached it. Older survivors along the bluff may have crawl spaces worth encapsulating.

Code

Harrison County is in Climate Zone 2A, and Formosan termites are established there.

Comparing materials

For a raised home, closed-cell foam costs more per square foot than batts, but it holds up to humidity, seals every penetration and does not sag. HomeGuide lists closed-cell at $3.00 to $5.00 per square foot installed. We give you the numbers for both if you want to compare.
