Spray Foam Insulation in Kiln, MS

Spray foam insulation in Kiln often means more than a house. Locals call it "the Kiln," with the n silent, and the name comes from the tar kilns that once supplied naval stores for ships out of New Orleans. Today it is a rural, spread-out community of about 2,200 people along the Jourdan River and its bayous, with larger lots, shops, barns and equipment sheds alongside the houses.

Shops and barns

Metal buildings are a big part of what we insulate in Kiln. A bare steel shop gets hot in summer and drips when humid air meets cold panels. Closed-cell foam sprayed on the roof and walls keeps the inside cooler and dry, and it also locks down loose seams and closes gaps at the eaves.

Homes near the river

The Jourdan River and Bayous Coco, Talla and La Terre border and run through the community. Katrina pushed at least 30 feet of floodwater into parts of the Kiln, and low ground along the river flooded first. Houses that were rebuilt or repaired near the water may be raised; we insulate those floors from below with closed-cell foam. Crawl space homes on damp ground benefit from encapsulation.

Growth since the 1990s

Kiln grew from about 1,262 people in 1990 to 2,040 in 2000, a jump of roughly 62%, as casino jobs came to the coast. Homes from that era are now 25 to 35 years old, which is about when attic insulation has settled and ducts start leaking. Sealing and topping up the attic is often the best first step.
