Spray Foam Insulation in East Bay Township, MI

Spray Foam Insulation in East Bay Township covers houses along the East Arm of Grand Traverse Bay, homes around inland lakes and newer subdivisions. The township was organized in January 1867 and named for the East Arm, at whose head it lies. It had 11,589 residents at the 2020 census, up 8.7% from 10,663 in 2010, making it the second most populous township in northern Michigan after Garfield.

Lakes and the river

The Boardman River flows through the south of the township, and lakes such as Arbutus Lake and Spider Lake lie inside it. Forest Lakes is a resort community in the south, and Traverse City State Park sits on East Bay in the northwest. Homes around those lakes often started as cottages and have crawl spaces, additions and attics that were never sealed.

Pine Grove

Pine Grove, a suburb near Traverse City, was identified in 2020 as having PFAS contamination. That is a water quality issue, not an insulation one, but it is a reminder that homes here deal with different conditions from neighborhood to neighborhood.

What we usually do

For lake homes and cottages, we seal and insulate crawl spaces and rims first, then attics. Newer subdivision homes usually need rim joist foam, attic hatch sealing and bonus-room floors. Older bayside houses need the full list.

Zone 6

Grand Traverse County is in Climate Zone 6A, so attic targets are R-60 for an empty attic or R-49 added over existing insulation.
