Wall Cavity Spray Foam in Florence
On new builds, walls get sprayed before drywall goes up. For retrofits, the crew drills, fills, and patches, bringing 1960s-1990s Cincinnati homes from R-11 fiberglass to R-21 closed-cell foam. Eliminates drafts, cold spots, and winter condensation. Florence sits within our service area for Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, with same-week scheduling typical for routine jobs.

Wall Cavity Spray Foam for Florence's Boone County suburban mix housing
In Florence, Wall Cavity Spray Foam is most impactful in pre-1950 homes with empty plaster wall cavities or settled fiberglass, and in 1950s-1970s drywall homes with original R-11 batts that have lost their air-seal. The install is drill-and-fill closed-cell foam through 1.5-inch access holes in each stud cavity, applied to the wall plane, the second-largest thermal surface after the attic.
Florence splits into two retrofit generations: 1960s-1980s block-basement neighborhoods that have never been touched since their original build, and I-71/75 corridor subdivisions built after 1995 to a tighter energy code. The older stock generally needs the full package (attic, walls, and rim joist), while the newer subdivisions usually just need rim-joist and crawl-space attention, since their walls and attic already meet a modern baseline. That housing profile shapes our typical scope for wall cavity spray foam in Florence. We size drill-and-fill scope to the era and cavity condition identified at the in-home assessment.
Boone County wall-cavity work is limited scope on the newer end: the mixed-era suburban housing in Florence and Burlington and the newer construction around the CVG airport corridor generally already have effective stock wall insulation, so drill-and-fill is assessed home by home after thermal imaging identifies an actual heat-loss surface.
Pre-1995 wall assemblies typically have no air barrier; drill-and-fill closed-cell adds both R-19 to R-21 in a 2x4 cavity and the integrated air seal that fiberglass cannot provide. Permitting in Florence routes through the Boone County KY building department, and Climate Zone 4A R-value targets apply across the entire Cincinnati metro including both sides of the river.
