A Town Built Around Canal Locks
Spray Foam Insulation in Lockport covers a small town with a long history. Lockport was founded in 1835 at the point where a canal linking Bayou Terrebonne to New Orleans met Bayou Lafourche. The canal was finished in 1847, and locks were completed three years later. The town covers just 0.6 square miles and had 2,490 residents in 2020.
Fire and storm history
In 1916, a fire destroyed much of Lockport's business district and several homes. The water tower built afterward stood on Main Street until Hurricane Betsy destroyed it in 1965. The town has rebuilt more than once, so its homes span many decades.
Older homes
Older Lockport houses often have shallow attics with little insulation and raised wood floors. Air moves freely through both. Sealing the attic floor and blowing it to depth, then closed-cell foam under the floor, cuts drafts and humidity.
Code targets
Louisiana's code summary lists R-38 ceilings for new homes in climate zone 2. For an existing attic with 3 to 4 inches, the Department of Energy suggests adding R-38 to R-49.
Termites
The Formosan termite is the most destructive insect in Louisiana, according to LSU AgCenter. We keep inspection gaps where foam meets piers and foundation walls.
Working in tight spaces
Old houses on small lots often have low crawl spaces and cramped attics. That makes the work slower, and we price it honestly after seeing the access. In a tight attic, blown-in over a sealed ceiling is often the only practical option; under a low floor, closed-cell foam is applied from wherever we can reach.
