Spray Foam Insulation in Fellsmere, FL

Spray Foam Insulation in Fellsmere means rural homes and farm buildings. Fellsmere covers about 57.58 square miles of land, a large area for its 4,834 residents in 2020, and the surrounding economy is agricultural, including citrus groves. In 1915 it became the first Florida municipality to grant women the right to vote.

Flooding

Fellsmere had major flooding on November 16, 2023, after nearly 14 inches of rain, and an earlier flood on July 31, 2023. Floodwater and roof leaks can soak insulation in walls, floors and attics. If your home took on water, check whether insulation was replaced during repairs.

Homes

Homes range from older houses in town to newer homes on rural lots and manufactured homes. Attic sealing and blown-in is the most common job, with roof-deck foam for homes with attic air handlers.

Farm buildings

Steel barns, packing and equipment buildings get closed-cell foam on the roof and walls to cut heat and stop condensation.

Moisture

With heavy rain and flat land, moisture is the main concern. Closed-cell foam does not absorb water, so it is our choice near the ground and in damp spaces, kept off the soil where termite rules apply.

Code

OpenEI lists Indian River County in Climate Zone 2A. Florida's 2023 energy code sets R-38 for ceilings.

After a flood

If floodwater reached your walls, the insulation inside them likely got wet. When walls are opened for flood repair, it is the right time to replace that insulation. In block homes, closed-cell foam on the inside of the block is a moisture-tolerant choice. In frame walls, we size foam or batts to the R-13 Zone 2 target.

Older homes in town

Homes near the town center date from Fellsmere's early decades. Older wood-frame houses often have raised floors, little attic insulation and gaps everywhere. Sealing and insulating the attic and floor makes them much easier to cool.
