Spray Foam Insulation in Cumby, TX

Spray Foam Insulation in Cumby is mostly about older houses in town and steel buildings on the farms around it. Cumby sits in western Hopkins County where Interstate 30 crosses at Exit 110, about 14 miles west of Sulphur Springs and 65 miles east of downtown Dallas. The 2020 census counted 679 residents and 311 housing units, with a homeowner vacancy rate of just 0.5%, so most homes here are lived in year-round by owners who plan to stay.

A long history under different names

The community was known as Black Jack Grove as early as 1848. The post office briefly went by Theodocias in the late 1850s before changing back, and the town took the name Cumby in 1896, after Confederate veteran Robert H. Cumby. Houses in a town that old come in every age, and many have been added onto over the decades. Additions are where we often find insulation gaps: the attic over a back room with no insulation at all, a wall where old and new framing meet, or a floor over a crawl space under one wing and a slab under another.

On the divide

Cumby sits on a watershed divide. The north side drains toward the South Sulphur River and the Red River, and the south side toward Lake Fork Creek and the Sabine. For us, what matters is how water moves around a house. Low spots that hold water near a pier-and-beam house make the crawl space damper, and we check that before recommending floor foam or a sealed crawl space.

Farm buildings

The country around Cumby is pasture and hay ground with metal barns and shops. A steel building that sweats on cool mornings can be fixed with a coat of closed-cell foam on the inside of the panels. A shop you heat and cool for work needs more. We write the spec to match the use.
