Spray Foam Insulation in Springettsbury Township, PA

Spray Foam Insulation in Springettsbury Township covers the large suburb east and northeast of York. The township had 27,058 residents in 2020 and 10,265 housing units in 2010 across 16.7 square miles. It hosts the York Galleria and a large Harley-Davidson plant.

Streetcar suburb to subdivisions

East York was first developed in the township in 1903, and in 1904 a trolley began running hourly along East Market Street, later part of the Lincoln Highway and now Route 462. A Caterpillar plant operated here from 1953 into the 1990s. Neighborhoods from those decades range from early 1900s houses in East York to postwar ranches and later subdivisions.

What we see

Early 1900s houses need attic sealing, rim foam and dense-pack walls. Postwar ranches and split-levels need the attic sealed and topped up and the rim foamed. Newer homes need bonus rooms, knee walls and recessed lights sealed.

Code target

York County is in Climate Zone 4A, where Pennsylvania's code lists R-49 for ceilings and ENERGY STAR recommends R-60 for an existing attic with no insulation.

What a visit looks like

We check the attic depth in several places, look for gaps around the chimney, plumbing and recessed lights, and check how bath fans are vented. In the basement we look at the rim joist and foundation walls for moisture. In split-levels we check each attic section and each rim level, since a missed section is often where the cold comes from. The written quote lists each area separately with its own price, so you can choose the order of work. Homes along the older trolley-era streets of East York often also need the open framing at the wall tops blocked and the walls filled.

Rentals and older twins

The older parts of the township near the city line include twins and small apartment buildings. For landlords, sealing attic hatches, insulating roof spaces and foaming exposed rims between tenants cuts heating complaints. We price each unit separately so the work can be scheduled as units turn over.
