Spray Foam Insulation in Fremont, NE

Spray Foam Insulation in Fremont covers a city set on the river plain between the Platte and the Elkhorn, at an elevation of about 1,203 feet. Near Fremont the Platte turns sharply and runs south-southeast toward Waterloo. Fremont has a long-established core of older homes and newer neighborhoods at its edges, plus 21 city-owned parks covering over 400 acres.

Older Fremont houses

As in any older town, many Fremont homes have walls built before insulation was common, attics with a few inches of settled material, and basements with bare rim joists. We usually recommend sealing the attic and blowing it up to R-49, closed-cell foam on the rim joist, and dense-pack cellulose in empty walls where the budget allows.

River plain basements

On a river plain, groundwater can sit close to the surface. Basements and crawl spaces in lower parts of town may be damp, and we check them before insulating. Closed-cell foam tolerates occasional moisture, but it is not a substitute for drainage or a sump.

Farm and commercial buildings

Dodge County is farm country, and many customers around Fremont have machine sheds, shops and steel buildings that sweat in winter. Closed-cell foam on steel stops dripping and makes the space usable in winter.

Where to start

For most Fremont homes, the first steps are the same: seal the attic floor and bring it up to R-49, which is what Nebraska's code asks of new ceilings, then foam the rim joist. Bonus rooms and finished basements come next if they are a problem. We write each step separately on the quote so you can do them in stages.
