An Older River Town
Spray Foam Insulation in Rockport serves the Spencer County seat and the southernmost city in Indiana. Rockport sits on the Ohio River, linked to Owensboro by the William H. Natcher Bridge on U.S. 231. Its population peaked at 2,882 in 1900; the 2020 census counted 1,984 residents and 987 housing units.
Old houses
A town whose peak came in 1900 has a lot of older houses. Those homes often have little wall insulation, shallow attics and old foundations. Sealing the attic, adding loose fill, foaming the rim joist and dense-packing walls where wiring allows usually help most.
River industry
The Rockport Generating Station, a coal plant scheduled to close by 2028, and Cleveland-Cliffs Rockport Works sit on the river nearby. Lincoln Pioneer Village, built in 1934-35 in Rockport City Park, is on the National Register.
What a visit covers
We check the attic, basement or crawl space, and any outbuildings, then write a quote with each area priced separately.
Costs
HomeGuide lists dense-pack cellulose at $1.60 to $4.20 per square foot and rim joist foam at $2,000 to $2,500 nationally. The written estimate is your price.
Higher and lower ground
Rockport's older homes range from houses near the river to those on higher ground. Houses on lower ground are more likely to have damp basements, which need drainage or sealing work before insulation. On higher ground, basements are usually drier and closed-cell foam on the walls and rim joist is a straightforward job.
