A Small Town Built on Limestone
Spray Foam Insulation in Foreman serves a small city in the southwest corner of Arkansas. Foreman was once called Rocky Comfort and briefly served as the Little River County seat from 1902 until a 1906 election moved it to Ashdown. Limestone formations near town support the Foreman Cement plant, built in 1956 and rebuilt in 2010.
Housing
Foreman had 977 residents and 552 households in 2020; the 2000 census counted 566 housing units. Many homes are older, with crawl spaces and thin attic insulation.
Historic homes
The New Rocky Comfort House in Foreman is on the National Register of Historic Places. Older homes like it often have wood framing, raised floors and attics that were never sealed. We work from the attic and underneath so the house keeps its character.
Humidity
Like the rest of southwest Arkansas, Foreman has humid summers and plenty of rain. Damp crawl spaces and humid attics are the usual sources of discomfort.
Outbuildings
Shops and barns on rural lots around Foreman get closed-cell foam on the steel to stop drip and cut heat.
Arkansas code
Little River County is Climate Zone 3A. Arkansas's 2009-based code lists R-30 ceilings, R-13 walls and R-13 or R-5 continuous on crawl space walls in Zone 3. ENERGY STAR suggests R-49 for a bare existing attic.
Dust and air sealing
Dust that gets into a house usually comes through the same gaps that leak air: the attic floor, around plumbing and wiring, and at the bottoms of walls. Sealing those gaps keeps the house cleaner as well as cooler.
Schools
Foreman High School serves grades 7 through 12 and Foreman Elementary serves kindergarten through sixth. Families with kids at home all day in summer feel the difference a sealed and insulated attic makes.
Older homes
With a population that has held near 1,000, many homes in Foreman are older. Those usually need the attic sealed and the insulation brought to depth, and the crawl space addressed if the house has one.
