Spray Foam Insulation in Moody, AL

Spray Foam Insulation in Moody is mostly work on newer homes in St. Clair County. Moody was founded in 1907 and named for local businessman Epps Moody, incorporated in 1962 and had only 504 residents in 1970. By 2020 it had 13,170. Point2Homes' summary of 2019-2023 Census survey data shows 38.7% of homes built from 2000 to 2009, 13.7% in the 1990s and 14.3% from 2010 to 2019, for a median year built of 2002.

Houses from the 2000s

The common Moody home has its HVAC in the attic, a mix of flat and vaulted ceilings, and often a bonus room. Houses from the 2000s were built before Alabama's 2016 code update, which, according to Alabama Power's code comparison, made a blower door test under 5 air changes per hour mandatory. That means air sealing was often skipped. After about 20 years, the attic insulation has settled, the ductwork has loosened at the joints and the original air handler is getting old.

Choosing between sealing and encapsulating

If your HVAC system is due for replacement, it is a good time to consider attic encapsulation: foam on the roof deck so the new equipment and ducts sit inside the insulated shell. If the system is newer, air sealing the attic floor and adding blown-in insulation to the Department of Energy's recommended depth for Zone 3 is usually enough. We price both when either would work.

The 1970s and 1980s homes

About 13.8% of Moody's homes are from the 1970s and 8.1% from the 1980s. These usually have thinner attic insulation, older ducts and sometimes crawl spaces, so blown-in top-ups and crawl space work come up more often.

Garages, shops and outbuildings

Moody sits along Interstate 20 and US 411, and many homes outside the town center have room for detached garages, workshops and metal buildings. Closed-cell spray foam on steel panels insulates and stops condensation dripping in winter, and foam in a framed shop makes it far easier to heat and cool.

Housing units

The 2020 census counted 5,550 housing units in Moody, with 5.6% vacant and a homeowner vacancy rate of 1.5%.
