Spray Foam Insulation in Belvedere, SC

Spray Foam Insulation in Belvedere serves an established suburb next to North Augusta. Wikipedia describes Belvedere as a census-designated place in Aiken County, named from the Italian for "beautiful sight" for its views over the Savannah River. It covers 3.5 square miles and had 5,792 residents in 2010.

Typical homes

Belvedere's homes are mostly established single-family houses, many from the mid-20th century. Those homes often have thin attic insulation, ducts in the attic, and crawl spaces with sagging batts.

County permits

Because Belvedere is unincorporated, building permits go through Aiken County's planning department rather than a city.

Attic work

Sealing the ceiling and blowing loose fill deep is the most economical improvement for most homes here.

Crawl spaces

Humid summers pull moisture into vented crawl spaces. Encapsulation or subfloor foam stops the sagging-batt cycle.

Code

South Carolina has used the 2009 IECC statewide since 2013, and OpenEI lists Aiken County in Zone 3A.

Mid-century houses

Many Belvedere homes date from the middle of the 20th century, when a few inches of attic insulation was normal. Bringing those attics toward R-49, which DOE suggests for an uninsulated Zone 3 attic, usually means sealing the ceiling and blowing cellulose or fiberglass over what is there. Ductwork added later is often poorly sealed and lies on the attic floor; we point out problems before covering anything. Under the floor, older crawl spaces may have batts that have fallen or no insulation at all, and a vapor barrier is often missing. HomeGuide lists crawl space vapor barriers at $1,200 to $4,000 and attic insulation jobs at $1,000 to $2,700 nationally. We put each piece on its own line so you can phase the work.
