Spray Foam Insulation in Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee

Spray foam for Soddy-Daisy homes

Soddy-Daisy is a city of about 13,000 people in northern Hamilton County, formed in 1969 when the communities of Soddy and Daisy merged with the developed areas along US 27. It sits between Walden Ridge and Chickamauga Lake, and the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant is here. Poe’s Tavern, built in 1819, was Hamilton County’s first courthouse; a replica stands near the original site.

Homes and buildings

Soddy-Daisy has a little of everything: older homes from its coal-mining and mill past, mid-century ranches, lake homes along Chickamauga Lake, and newer subdivisions. Many properties have metal shops, pole barns and detached garages.

Common needs

• **Lake homes.** Damp air off the lake adds moisture to crawls and basements. Many lake homes have walkout basements with leaky rim joists.
• **Metal shops and pole barns.** Condensation drips from metal roofs on cool nights.
• **Older homes.** Thin attic insulation and leaky crawls.
• **Newer two-story homes.** Hot bonus rooms and attic ductwork.

Where foam helps

For lake homes with walkout basements, closed-cell foam on the rim joist is a cost-effective first step that cuts drafts and moisture. For metal shops, closed-cell foam on the panels stops condensation and adds insulation. For older homes, attic air sealing with foam plus blown insulation tackles leaks at a reasonable cost. For newer homes with ductwork in the attic, a foamed roof deck keeps the ducts inside the conditioned space.

Moisture near the lake

Before foam goes on any basement or crawl wall, the wall must be dry. Homes near the lake can have high groundwater and damp walls. We check for water and tell you if drainage or waterproofing should come first. See crawl space spray foam.

Send your Soddy-Daisy ZIP, what you want insulated, and photos. For metal buildings, the size and roof type help. Neighbors in Hixson have their own page.

Nuclear plant shift workers

Sequoyah and other large employers run shifts around the clock. We can schedule assessments and installs at times that fit your schedule and plan the cure time so the house is ready when you get home.

Older mining-era homes

Homes from Soddy-Daisy’s coal and mill years often have small attics and little or no wall insulation. Air sealing the attic floor and rim joists makes a big difference.

We also serve Sale Creek, Sequoyah-area homes and the communities up US 27 toward Dayton. Send your ZIP and we will confirm coverage. For metal buildings, let us know the roof type, the size, and whether the building is heated, so we can recommend the right thickness of foam.

Lake homes used only part of the year also benefit, because a tighter house holds steadier humidity while you are away.
