Insulation for the Todd County Seat

Spray Foam Insulation in Elkton covers the county seat of Todd County and the farmland around it. The town was founded by Major John Gray, established by the state assembly in 1820, and incorporated in 1843. It was named for an elk herd that used a nearby stream and salt lick.

Hot, humid summers

Elkton has a humid subtropical climate, with hot, humid summers and mild to cool winters. That combination makes the crawl space a key part of any insulation plan. Vented crawl spaces pull in damp summer air, which condenses on ducts and framing. Encapsulation keeps it out.

Housing

The 2020 census counted 957 housing units in Elkton, 14.5% of them vacant, and a population of 2,056. Many homes are older, built around the courthouse square and along the main roads into town.

Farms and outbuildings

Todd County is farm country, and properties near Elkton often have steel equipment buildings and barns. Closed-cell foam on the steel stops condensation and holds heat in shops.

What we recommend most

For older Elkton homes: crawl space sealed or floor insulated, rim joist foamed, attic sealed and brought up to depth. For shops and barns: foam on the steel where condensation or heating is the concern.

Around the courthouse square

Homes near the square and along the roads leading out of town were built over a long stretch of time, and many have been added onto. Additions often sit on a different foundation from the original house, with their own crawl space or slab and their own attic. We treat each section separately: one may need encapsulation while another only needs its floor insulated. The quote lists each section so nothing gets missed.
