Ranch Country on the North Concho

Spray Foam Insulation in Water Valley is about ranch homes and outbuildings that face a wide temperature swing. Water Valley sits on U.S. Highway 87 about 22 miles northwest of San Angelo. Its climate table on Wikipedia lists a July average high of 97.0F, a record high of 114F, and a record low of -7F.

English settlers and an irrigation ditch

Captain William Turner arrived around 1878 and established the Whitbarrow Ranch. Two men named Phelin and Glynn dammed the North Concho and dug an irrigation ditch, which opened the area to settlers, most of them English immigrants. The community took the name Water Valley in 1889. The stone house at Whitbarrow later served as a rest home for soldiers during World War II.

What houses here need

Older ranch houses often have thick stone or masonry walls with frame additions, small attics, and porches that were enclosed into rooms. Each part needs its own approach. Frame additions and enclosed porches are usually the coldest rooms in winter and the hottest in summer. Sealing and insulating those spaces, plus bringing the main attic up to depth, typically does more than anything else.

Steel buildings

Barns and equipment sheds out here see the full range: summer heat on the steel and condensation after a cold night. Closed-cell foam on the roof panels addresses both.

Targets

Tom Green County is Climate Zone 3B. For attics we usually aim for R-38 to R-49, matching the 2015 code table and ENERGY STAR guidance.

Schools and community

Water Valley High School has an FFA chapter, and barns and pens for livestock are a familiar sight on rural properties. Barns and pens that hold animals have different needs than a shop: ventilation matters, and foam needs protection where animals can reach it. We talk through how the building is used before recommending anything.

Pier-and-beam floors

Some older homes in the area sit on piers instead of a slab. The floor over a vented crawl space can be cold in winter, and the gaps around plumbing and the band joist let air in. Closed-cell foam under the floor, along the band, and around plumbing penetrations seals and insulates in one step. ENERGY STAR suggests R-19 for floors in existing Zone 3 homes.

Water Valley Questions

Our enclosed porch is the hottest room. Can it be fixed?

Usually. Enclosed porches often have little insulation in the ceiling and floor. We check what can be reached and price the options.

Can you insulate a stone ranch house?

The stone walls themselves are hard to insulate, but the attic, frame additions and air leaks usually make the biggest difference.

Do you insulate hay barns?

Yes. Foam on the roof stops condensation dripping on feed.

Is foam safe in a barn with animals?

Foam that animals can chew or rub against should be covered or kept out of reach. We plan for that before spraying.
