Wall Cavity Spray Foam in Independence
On new builds, our Cincinnati installers spray walls before drywall. For retrofits, the same crews drill, fill, and patch, bringing 1960s-1990s Cincinnati homes from R-11 fiberglass to R-21 closed-cell foam. Eliminates drafts, cold spots, and winter condensation. Independence sits within our service area for Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, with same-week scheduling typical for routine jobs.

Wall Cavity Spray Foam for Independence's Kenton County suburban single-family housing
Wall Cavity Spray Foam 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. In Independence specifically, the service 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.
Independence is mid-century to modern Kenton County single-family with the standard Climate Zone 4A retrofit profile. Many older homes have settled cellulose attics and uninsulated rim joists. That housing profile shapes our typical scope for wall cavity spray foam in Independence. We run drill-and-fill through drywall access patches into stud cavities with original R-11 fiberglass, adding both R-value and the air-seal that fiberglass alone cannot provide.
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 Independence routes through the Kenton County KY building department, and Climate Zone 4A R-value targets apply across the entire Cincinnati metro including both sides of the river.
