Spray Foam Insulation in Haleyville, AL

Spray Foam Insulation in Haleyville works on homes in hilly country. Haleyville incorporated on February 28, 1889, at the crossroads of Byler Road and the Illinois Central Railroad, and on February 16, 1968, the first 9-1-1 emergency system in the nation went into service here. The city had 4,361 residents in 2020.

Soil and water

Wikipedia describes Haleyville as hilly, in the foothills of the southwest end of the Appalachians, with soil of sand and clay that is very sensitive to water, so there are many creeks and small valleys. On lots like that, rain runs toward foundations. We check crawl spaces for standing water and look at gutters and grading before laying any liner.

On the divide

The city sits on the Tennessee Valley Divide, with water draining toward the Tennessee, Tombigbee and Black Warrior rivers from different parts of town.

Housing

The 2020 census counted 2,098 housing units with 13.8% vacant. Older homes need attic, floor and rim joist work; newer ones mostly need sealing.

Attic insulation for older Haleyville homes

Homes in Haleyville's older blocks often have attics with a few inches of old fill. The Department of Energy suggests adding R-38 to R-49 on top of 3 to 4 inches in zone 3. Before adding it, we seal the gaps in the attic floor, since air leaks carry more heat than the old insulation can stop. Then we blow cellulose or fiberglass to depth and leave markers so you can check it. HomeGuide lists blown-in attic work at $0.90 to $2.40 per square foot.
