Spray Foam Insulation in Highlands, TX

WHY HIGHLANDS NEEDS SPRAY FOAM FOR HIGHLANDS AND THE SAN JACINTO CORRIDOR

Highlands sits along Highway 90 East in east Harris County, positioned between the San Jacinto River to the west and the Galveston Bay watershed to the south. Residential neighborhoods along Main Street, Wallisville Road, and the communities bordering the San Jacinto River floodplain experience some of the most persistent ground moisture conditions in Harris County — the combination of river bottomland soils, tidal backflow influence from Galveston Bay, and the industrial emissions from the nearby Ship Channel corridor creates a genuinely demanding insulation environment. Most homes in Highlands date to the 1950s through 1980s and have original insulation that has absorbed moisture, settled, and in many cases never been air sealed.

Harvey's impact on the San Jacinto River corridor was severe in Highlands — the community experienced significant flooding, and the post-Harvey renovation cycle that followed created demand for comprehensive home upgrades including spray foam as part of flood-resilient rebuilding strategies. Closed cell spray foam on crawl spaces and rim joists is a key component of flood-resilient construction because it does not absorb or retain moisture the way fiberglass does, and it maintains its R-value even after water exposure. We handle both the residential retrofit and the occasional light industrial and warehouse work along the Highway 90 East corridor.
