Union Grove sits on the north edge of Racine County, where full basements and rim joists meet a long Wisconsin heating season and cold lake wind that finds every gap in the envelope. If your home was built before 1980, your basement rim joist is almost certainly uninsulated and leaking conditioned air into the crawl space and rim cavity all winter long. Kenosha Spray Foam Insulation has been sealing and insulating the basements, attics and walls of Union Grove homeowners since 2015.
The village core and the farmsteads around it share the same building challenge: full basements with exposed rim joists, thin or missing attic insulation, and heating bills that climb every year because cold air leaks out through the rim, and lake-driven infiltration finds its way in at the sill plate. We call Union Grove regularly to seal rim joists and band joists, replace failed insulation in attics, and inject foam into the closed walls of older homes. Our fully insured crews know the local building code and the Union Grove permit process.
Spray Foam Insulation in Union Grove (53182)
Union Grove's housing stock splits between the older village homes on full basements with balloon framing and tall rim joists, and the mid-century farmstead and ranch homes scattered across the township with the same full-basement foundations and uninsulated rim cavities. Both types lose heat the same way: air leaks out through the rim joist and band joist where the sill plate sits on the foundation, and in winter, that gap is a direct path from your heated basement or living space into the cold rim cavity. In a Racine County heating season, that costs you real money every month. Attics in Union Grove range from thin blown-in insulation laid over original wood sheathing to bare rafters with nothing at all. Many homes have damp insulation in the attic or crawl space because moisture is being driven outward through the roof or walls toward the cold side during the heating season. Before we spray foam, we identify where that moisture is coming from. If the substrate is wet or contaminated, we fix the moisture first or we walk away. That is not negotiable.
Our team has served Union Grove and the surrounding Kenosha area since 2015. We handle attic foam, closed cell and open cell spray, wall injection into the cavities of older homes, rim joist and band joist sealing, crawl space foam, and removal and replacement of insulation that has failed or is in the way. We provide written estimates that specify R-value and thickness so you know exactly what you are paying for.

How a Job Works in Union Grove
We start with a free on-site assessment. You tell us what rooms are cold, where you see condensation or damp insulation, and what your heating bills look like. We walk the attic, basement and crawl spaces, measure the areas to be sprayed, check for moisture or contamination, and talk through whether open cell or closed cell foam makes sense for your use. Open cell is lighter, cheaper, and breathable; closed cell is denser, more expensive, and a vapor barrier. For a rim joist in Union Grove, closed cell is usually the right call because it seals air leaks and resists moisture. For an attic, it depends on your roof assembly and your local code. We explain the difference and recommend honestly.
On the day of the work, our crew sets up containment, turns on mechanical ventilation to manage vapors during cure, and sprays to the thickness and R-value specified in your estimate. If insulation has to come out first, we remove it, haul it away, and then spray. The work itself takes a few hours to a full day depending on the area. You and your family will need to stay out of the sprayed space for twenty-four to forty-eight hours while the foam cures. We tell you exactly how long before the space is safe to re-enter.
When the work is done, we clean up, remove all equipment and containment, and walk through the finished job with you. You own the space clean and ready to use.
Spray foam pricing in Union Grove depends on the area to be covered, the thickness and R-value you need, whether you choose open cell or closed cell, and what has to be removed or repaired first. A rim joist and band joist seal typically runs from $650 and up depending on the linear footage and whether the cavity is clear or has old insulation in it. An attic foam job in a Union Grove ranch or farmhouse generally starts around $1.50 per square foot for open cell and moves up from there for closed cell or higher R-values. Wall injection into the cavities of an older home runs from $2 per square foot. A crawl space starts around $2,500. If you need insulation removed and replaced, plan on $2,800 and up depending on what comes out and what goes in. The most important cost factors are the square footage, the R-value and thickness specified in code for your location and use, and whether we are starting from bare substrate or removing failed insulation first.
