Spray Foam Insulation in Lecompton, KS

Spray Foam Insulation in Lecompton serves one of the most historic small towns in Kansas. Lecompton was founded in 1854 on a bluff on the south bank of the Kansas River, served as the territorial capital from 1855 to 1861, and was the Douglas County seat until 1858. In 1857 the Lecompton Constitution was drafted in Constitution Hall. Today it is small: the 2020 census counted 588 residents, 247 households and 265 housing units.

Older homes

With a long history and little new construction, most homes here are older. Rim joist foam, attic sealing and dense-pack walls are the usual projects.

Farms and acreage

The township around Lecompton is rural, with pole barns, machine sheds and shops. Closed-cell foam on steel keeps heat in and stops condensation.

River bluff exposure

Homes on the bluff catch wind off the river valley, which pushes air through every gap. Air sealing matters as much as R-value.

Code targets

Douglas County is in climate zone 4A; ENERGY STAR recommends R-60 for an attic with no insulation and R-19 for floors over unheated space.

Typical quote

Rim joist foam, attic sealing and blown-in to R-49, and dense-pack walls where the cavities are empty, each priced separately.

Small population, older stock

Lecompton had 408 residents in 1900 and 588 in 2020, so it has changed little in a century. Most houses have been through many winters on whatever insulation they started with, and the rim joist and attic are usually the first places we find heat escaping.
