Spray Foam Insulation in Hermleigh, TX

Spray Foam Insulation in Hermleigh means farm homes and the buildings around them. Hermleigh sits on U.S. Route 84 in Scurry County. Its townsite was surveyed in 1907 on land donated by R.C. Herm and Harry W. Harlin, and the name is a compromise after postal officials rejected Hermlin as too close to Hamlin. The Santa Fe Railroad arrived in 1911, making the town a shipping point for ranching and cotton.

A small community

The 2020 census counted 383 residents. In 2000, the community had 183 housing units and 151 households. Most homes are older farmhouses and modest houses in town, many with additions. We often find attics with thin, settled insulation and ceilings with no air sealing.

Storms

An EF2 tornado struck the northwest side of town on May 1, 2022. Homes repaired after a storm sometimes got new roofs or drywall but kept old, damaged insulation. If your house was repaired after that storm, it is worth checking what is in the attic.

Farm buildings

Steel barns and equipment buildings are common. Foam on the roof stops condensation drip and cuts heat.

Climate zone

Scurry County is Climate Zone 3B per OpenEI. The 2015 code table Texas uses lists R-38 for ceilings and R-19 for floors in Zone 3.

Odd history

Hermleigh was briefly renamed Foch in the late 1910s, after the French general, and switched back. It was also home to a record-setting pig named Bud that sold for $56,000 in 1983.

Older farmhouses

Many homes around Hermleigh are farmhouses with additions built over the decades. Each addition often has its own small attic or a low-slope roof with almost no space above the ceiling. For those, blown-in through a small access point or dense-pack can reach places a person cannot. We check every roof section during the visit.

Wind and dust

Hermleigh sits in open country between Snyder and Roscoe, and windy days bring dust. A sealed ceiling keeps it out of the house.
