Insulation Where the Surge Hit
Spray Foam Insulation in Golden Meadow serves the southernmost town on Bayou Lafourche before the marshes give way to the Gulf. Golden Meadow covers 2.9 square miles, of which nearly 16 percent is water, and had 1,761 residents in 2020. The name goes back to 1839, when the original landowners named it for the yellow flowers covering the area.
The surge
When Hurricane Ida came ashore at Port Fourchon on August 29, 2021, the National Weather Service measured a 10.1-foot storm surge in Golden Meadow. The town's library was destroyed, and the parish had to build a new one. Many homes were damaged or rebuilt.
Rebuilding right
A rebuild or major repair is the best chance to insulate a house well. Closed-cell spray foam in walls, under floors and on roof decks seals and insulates and does not soak up water. It also adds stiffness to what it is sprayed on.
Raised homes
Many homes here are raised. Under the floor, humid air and sometimes standing water make batts sag and rot. Closed-cell foam bonded to the subfloor is the long-lasting fix.
Shops and boats
Oil and gas, fishing and charter businesses keep metal buildings busy in Golden Meadow. Closed-cell foam keeps those buildings from sweating and cuts heat.
Drying before insulating
After any flood or surge, framing has to dry before it is covered. We check moisture in the wood and wait until it is ready rather than sealing water in.

Golden Meadow Questions
We are rebuilding after Ida. What insulation should we use?
Closed-cell foam is a strong choice in walls, under floors and on roof decks because it seals, insulates and does not soak up water.
Is foam safe if the house floods again?
Closed-cell foam handles wetting better than batts, but any flooded house needs to be dried and checked.
