Across the River in Kentucky
Spray Foam Insulation in Henderson covers a river city just ten miles south of Evansville. Henderson began on bluffs above the Ohio River called Red Banks for their reddish clay soil, got a post office in 1801 and incorporated in 1840. In the 1800s Henderson County was reported to be the world's largest producer of dark tobacco, and downtown filled with warehouses and stemmeries. The city had 29,781 residents in 2020.
Older homes downtown
Henderson's older neighborhoods hold houses from its tobacco-boom years and the early 1900s. Those homes often have plaster walls, empty cavities and basements or crawl spaces with old foundations. Sealing the attic and rim joist and dense-packing walls where wiring allows are the usual first steps.
Housing count
The 2020 census counted 13,190 housing units in Henderson, 9.3% vacant.
Kentucky rules
Henderson is in Kentucky, which has its own residential building code. For remodels or work that needs a permit, check with Henderson's building office about current insulation requirements.
Costs
HomeGuide lists rim joist foam at $2,000 to $2,500 and a blown-in attic at $900 to $3,600 nationally. The written estimate after our visit is the price.
On the bluff
Much of old Henderson sits on a bluff above the river, which is why the 1937 flood spared it compared with other river cities. Higher ground usually means drier basements, but older stone and brick foundations can still wick moisture. We look at each basement before recommending foam on the walls, and the rim joist is almost always worth sealing.
