Spray Foam Insulation in Allen, TX

Spray Foam Insulation in Allen often starts with an attic that has been through a few decades and a few storms. Allen lies in the Northern Blackland Prairie, where the soils are mostly clay and absorb water slowly, and Rowlett Creek runs through the city on its way to Lake Ray Hubbard. Normal annual precipitation in the Rowlett Creek watershed is about 40 to 41 inches, with August highs near 95F.

Older than the towns to the north

Allen built out earlier than Prosper or Celina, so many houses are from the 1980s through the 2000s. Those attics often hold settled blown-in or older batts, with original duct work that has been patched over the years. Many have had at least one roof replaced. A top-up is usually needed, and it is the right time to seal the ceiling first.

Storm history

An EF1 tornado in April 2008 structurally damaged about 50 homes in Allen. Hail is the more common event. Any house with a history of roof leaks should have its insulation checked for matting and staining before new material goes on top.

What we typically recommend

• Seal top plates, chases, duct boots and the attic access.
• Remove any wet or contaminated insulation.
• Blow cellulose or fiberglass to an even depth, with rulers.
• Price a sealed attic where the air handler and long duct runs are in the attic.

For walls, we usually wait until a remodel opens them, then spray foam.
