Spray Foam Insulation in Millbrook, AL

Spray Foam Insulation in Millbrook mostly involves houses from the last forty-five years. The city incorporated in 1977, and its population rose from 2,382 in 1970 to 6,050 in 1990, 10,386 in 2000 and 16,564 in 2020, a growth Wikipedia ties to the arrival of Interstate 65 in the mid-1970s. That means many homes here now have attic insulation that has been sitting for thirty or forty years, along with original ductwork and windows.

What forty years does to an attic

Loose-fill insulation settles over time, and every cable installer, HVAC tech and roofer who has walked through the attic leaves a path. The result is thin spots and bare patches, often right over the rooms that run hottest. Meanwhile the top plates, light fixtures and plumbing penetrations that were never sealed keep leaking. In a Millbrook ranch, sealing those leaks and blowing insulation back to a real depth is often the best value. In a two-story with a bonus room, the kneewalls and the floor over the garage need their own attention.

Damp ground near the river

Millbrook sits in Elmore and Autauga counties, and part of the old Robinson Springs village lies within its limits. Crawl space homes in lower areas can see moisture problems in our humid summers. We check for standing water, sweating ducts and sagging batts, and we tell you whether closing the crawl space or foaming the floor fits your house.

Old houses too

Millbrook also holds some of the oldest houses in the region: Ellerslie, completed in 1818 by Bolling Hall, and Thornfield, finished in 1820. Both remain private homes. Older houses like these, and the early twentieth-century homes from when Millbrook, Coosada and Robinson Springs grew between the wars, need a gentler, more careful approach than a new subdivision house.

Ducts that leak into the attic

In Millbrook houses of the 1980s and 1990s, the original flex duct in the attic is often torn, crushed or pulled loose at the boots. Cooled air then pours into the attic while the rooms stay warm. We point out duct problems we see during the inspection so they can be repaired by your HVAC company, and if foaming the roof deck makes sense, the ducts end up in a far cooler space even if a small leak remains. Sealing the boots where they pass through the ceiling is part of our attic work either way.
