Spray Foam Insulation in Kaukauna, WI

Spray foam insulation in Kaukauna covers both very old and fairly new homes. About 19.4% of the city's housing was built in 1939 or earlier, and 16.8% from 2000 to 2009, with a median year built of 1978 (ACS 2019 to 2023). The Fox River divides the city into a North Side and a South Side, joined by four bridges.

Old homes

Pre-war houses often have empty walls, open balloon framing and thin attic insulation. Dense-pack walls, seal the framing at top and bottom and fill the attic.

2000s homes

Newer houses usually need rim joist foam and help with bonus rooms or kneewalls.

Community-owned utility

Kaukauna Utilities is a community-owned electric and water utility. If you are a Kaukauna Utilities customer, ask the utility directly about any efficiency incentives before you start.

Costs

Dense-pack walls run $1.60 to $4.20 per square foot and attic jobs $1,000 to $2,700 by HomeGuide's figures. Each area is priced in writing.

Planning a job on an older house

With nearly one in five Kaukauna homes built before 1940, many of our visits here are to houses with plaster walls, stone or block foundations and attics with little headroom. We work in a set order: seal the attic and the tops of open wall cavities, foam the rim and sill, then dense-pack walls where the wiring is safe. Stone foundations get a moisture check first, since water coming through the wall needs to be fixed before any insulation covers it. Newer homes on the edges of the city tend to need only the rim and a bonus room.
