Spray Foam Insulation in Hopkinsville, KY

Spray Foam Insulation in Hopkinsville covers a city of about 31,000 people and the farm country around it. Hopkinsville was laid out in the late 1790s as the seat of Christian County, named for Samuel Hopkins in 1804, and incorporated in 1853. The 2020 census counted 14,369 housing units in the city, 9.5% of them vacant.

Black Patch tobacco country

The city grew as a center of the Black Patch, the dark tobacco region of western Kentucky and Tennessee. In 1907 the conflict between tobacco growers and buyers boiled over when masked Night Riders seized the police station. That farm economy still shapes the area: Christian County is the second largest county in Kentucky by area, and its farms grow corn, wheat, soybeans and tobacco. Many rural properties pair a house with barns and steel sheds.

Climate in numbers

Wikipedia's climate table for Hopkinsville shows a January daily mean of 35.5F, average July highs near 88F, 51.76 inches of precipitation a year, and record lows down to -22F. The humid summers are hard on crawl spaces; the cold snaps find every leak at the rim joist and attic.

Storm history

What we see most

Crawl spaces with fallen batts, attics with a few inches of old fiberglass, and rim joists that were never sealed. A sealed crawl space, foam at the rim, and attic sealing with blown-in to depth is the most common plan.
