Spray Foam Insulation in Twin Lake, MI

Spray Foam Insulation in Twin Lake covers a community built around water.

About 16% of the area is water.

Cottages becoming full-time homes

The 2020 census counted 904 housing units in Twin Lake, 12.7% vacant, suggesting a mix of full-time homes and seasonal cottages. Many cottages built for summer have been converted for year-round use. That usually means insulating floors or crawl spaces, sealing ceilings and adding wall insulation where possible.

Moisture by the water

Homes on the water see more humidity. Crawl spaces and basements near lakes stay damp. Closed-cell foam on walls and rim joists, and a ground liner in crawl spaces, help keep moisture out of the house.

Converted cottage checklist

When a cottage becomes a full-time home, we look at five things: the floor or crawl space, the rim, the walls, the ceiling or roofline, and any plumbing that runs through cold spaces. Pipes in an unheated crawl space need protection once the house is lived in all winter. Sealing and insulating the crawl space walls keeps that space warmer.
