Spray Foam Insulation in Cullman, AL

Spray Foam Insulation in Cullman covers a city with a long building history. Colonel John G. Cullmann, a German immigrant, founded the town in 1873 as a colony for German settlers on land owned by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, and it was incorporated in 1874. The city had 18,213 residents in 2020 and an estimated 20,239 in 2024, so new subdivisions keep going up around the older core.

On the plateau

Cullman sits at 814 feet on the Brindley Mountain plateau, near the watershed between the Tennessee and Black Warrior rivers. Wikipedia describes the climate as humid subtropical with hot, humid summers and mild to cool winters. That means a house has to hold out heat for months and hold in heat for months, and both show up in the attic and the crawl space.

Older homes near downtown

Frame houses and early brick homes near downtown often have thin attics, walls with little in them and crawl spaces open to the weather. Sealing wall tops from the attic, adding depth, and dealing with the crawl space make the biggest difference.

After 2011

An EF4 tornado hit downtown and an east-side neighborhood on April 27, 2011. Many homes and buildings were rebuilt. Rebuilt homes generally have better insulation, but repairs done in a hurry can leave gaps, and older homes nearby may have roof patches with damp insulation under them.
