Spray Foam Insulation in Lititz, PA

Spray Foam Insulation in Lititz deals with some very old houses and many newer ones. Members of the Moravian Church founded Lititz in 1756, and for about a century only Moravians could live there; until 1855, only congregation members could own houses. Brethren's House, built in 1759, served as a Continental Army hospital during the Revolution. The older streets near the church still hold houses from those early decades.

Older houses

Historic stone and brick houses need to dry through their walls. We focus on air sealing and insulating the attic and the rim joist and avoid trapping moisture against old masonry. Where there are framed additions, we insulate those fully.

Newer homes

Outside the historic core, newer homes have basements with long rim joists and attics that can use more depth. Those two areas give the most comfort for the money.

Climate

Lititz has a hot-summer humid continental climate, with average monthly temperatures from 30.1°F in January to 74.7°F in July, and sits in hardiness zone 6b. That is colder in winter than the river towns of southeastern Pennsylvania, and Lancaster County is in the state's central Zone 5 group for energy code.

Housing

The 2000 census counted 3,827 housing units in the borough. Many surrounding homes are in Warwick Township, and we work in both.

Before you buy or sell

Inspections on older Lititz homes often flag thin attic insulation, bath fans venting into the attic, and damp basements. We can look at just the items an inspector raised and give a written price for each.
