Spray Foam Insulation in Falkville, AL

Spray Foam Insulation in Falkville works on homes in one of the older towns in the area. Falkville is named for Louis M. Falk, a Prussian merchant who opened a general store here in 1859.

Tornado history

An F4 tornado tore directly through town on April 24, 1955, and an F3 hit the southern part of town on April 8, 1957. Many homes date from the rebuilding after those storms, and many have the thin attic insulation of that era.

Costs for older homes

Older homes sometimes need old insulation removed before new goes in, especially if it is wet, rodent-fouled or crushed. HomeAdvisor lists removal at $1 to $2 per square foot and a typical job at $600 to $1,200. If the old material is dry and clean, it can stay and new insulation goes on top, which saves money.
