Spray Foam Insulation in North Liberty, IA

Spray foam insulation in North Liberty tends to mean finishing work on young houses. The city grew from 5,367 people in 2000 to 13,374 in 2010 and 20,479 in 2020, and it was Iowa's second fastest-growing city in the 2000s. The median home was built in 2004; 32.2% of homes date to 2000 through 2009 and another 29.2% to 2010 through 2019.

What we see in North Liberty houses

Homes built in the last 25 years generally have decent attic insulation and tighter walls than older houses. The common trouble spots are the rim joist in the basement, the floor of any bedroom or bonus room over the garage, cantilevered floors and bay windows, and attic access hatches. A cold upstairs bedroom over the garage is the call we hear about most from homes this age.

Finishing the lower level

Plenty of North Liberty homeowners finish the basement after a few years. Closed-cell foam on the rim and on the foundation walls before framing gives a continuous air seal and keeps humid indoor air off the concrete. We work with your framer's schedule so the foam goes in at the right point.

Commuters and comfort

Up to 3,000 North Liberty residents may work at the University of Iowa about nine miles south, and with no public transit, most drive. That means a lot of attached garages, and a garage wall shared with the house is a common source of cold air and fumes. Sealing that wall and the ceiling below any room above it is quick work.

Old names, new houses

The town was settled in 1838 and went by Big Bottom, North Bend and Squash Bend before it was platted as North Liberty in 1857. Today almost all of its houses are recent. Get a free estimate
