Spray Foam Insulation in Rincon, GA

Spray foam insulation in Rincon serves one of the fastest-changing parts of the Savannah area. Rincon, in southeast Effingham County, had 10,934 residents in 2020, up from 8,836 in 2010, and Effingham County as a whole grew from 52,250 to 64,769 people over the same decade. Newer subdivisions now sit alongside older houses near the original rail depot.

A railroad town

Rincon grew after a rail line from the Carolinas to Savannah came through in the 1890s. Farmers and sawmill operators who once hauled cotton and lumber to Savannah could ship from the Rincon depot instead. The town was incorporated in 1927, went inactive, and was reincorporated around the end of 1954; it had 1,057 people in 1960. Around 1939, power lines from the Savannah Electric and Power Company reached the area.

Higher ground, still humid

At about 72 feet, Rincon sits well above the coastal islands, and flood vents are less of a concern than on the coast. Humidity is not. Effingham County is in Climate Zone 2A along with Chatham, and vented crawl spaces under older homes collect moisture all summer.

Newer homes

In Rincon's newer neighborhoods, the common complaints are a hot upstairs, a bonus room over the garage and ductwork in the attic. We look at the attic floor depth, the kneewalls and the duct runs, then price sealing plus blown-in alongside roof deck foam so you can compare.

Shops and outbuildings

Larger lots outside town often include a metal shop or garage. Closed-cell foam on the steel stops condensation and makes the building easier to cool.

What we suggest for older homes

For houses from the mid-20th century, the order is usually: fix any water under the house, pull fallen batts, seal and insulate the floor or the crawl space, then seal and top up the attic toward R-49. Get a free estimate
