Insulating Close to the Coast
Spray Foam Insulation in Chauvin serves a coastal community in Terrebonne Parish, a census-designated place of 4.7 square miles with 2,575 residents in 2020. West of the village lies the Bayou Chauvin Oil and Gas Field, and like much of lower Terrebonne, the area lives on fishing, oil and gas, and marine work.
Raised homes and camps
Homes and camps this far down the bayou are often raised well off the ground. Under the floor, the air is wet and salty and moves freely. Closed-cell foam on the underside of the subfloor seals out that air and stops the floor from feeling cold in winter and clammy in summer. It also does not absorb water, which matters after storm surge or heavy rain.
Metal buildings
For boat sheds and shops around Chauvin, the problem is the same as anywhere on the coast: steel near the water sweats badly in humid weather. Closed-cell foam on roofs and walls keeps humid air off the steel and cuts the heat coming through the panels.
Code and comfort
Terrebonne Parish is in climate zone 2A. Louisiana's code summary lists R-38 ceilings for new homes, and the Department of Energy suggests R-13 for an uninsulated floor in zone 2. Closed-cell foam reaches that floor target in about two inches.
After storms
When a home here takes water, wet insulation should come out quickly. We remove and replace insulation after storms, and we check framing for moisture before covering it.

Chauvin Questions
Can you insulate a raised camp in Chauvin?
Yes. Closed-cell foam under the floor and attic sealing are the usual work.

Closed-cell foam is not affected by humid or salty air the way batts are. Exposed foam outdoors needs protection from sunlight.
