Spray Foam Insulation in New Whiteland, IN

Spray foam insulation in New Whiteland often goes into homes from the town's first decades. Wikipedia says New Whiteland got its start when U.S. 31 was rerouted through the area and was incorporated in 1954. It covers only about 1.46 square miles, and by 2000 it already had 1,594 housing units. The 2020 census counted 5,550 residents and 2,068 housing units, so most of the town was built out long ago.

Typical homes

The compact ranches and modest two-stories here were built when insulation standards were far below today's. Attics often have a few inches of old material, walls may have thin batts, and crawl spaces were vented to the outside. Those homes respond well to a sealed attic topped up with blown insulation, dense-packed walls where they are thin, and a closed crawl space with foamed walls and rim joist.

Storm history

The National Weather Service lists 23 tornadoes in Johnson County between 1950 and 2025, including an EF3 that hit New Whiteland on March 31, 2023. Homes repaired or reroofed after that storm are a good time to look at the attic and roof deck: once a roof has been replaced, sealing the attic floor and adding insulation is straightforward.

Walls in older homes

Many New Whiteland homes from the 1950s through the 1970s were built with thin wall batts. Dense-packing cellulose into those walls through small holes, from inside or outside under the siding, fills the gaps the batts left and slows drafts. We check a few bays first so you know what is already there before paying to fill them.

Few empty houses

Only 1.9% of New Whiteland's housing units were vacant in 2020, and homeowner vacancy was 0.8%. People here tend to stay, which makes insulation an investment they get the benefit of. Get a free estimate
