Old Homes on Two Sides of a County Line
Spray foam insulation in Plymouth works the same on both sides of Base Line Road, the main street that divides Richland and Huron counties. Wikipedia notes the village was the home of the Plymouth Locomotive Works, a builder of industrial locomotives, and it was named after Plymouth Rock. The census counted 794 housing units in 2010 and 1,707 residents in 2020.
Dual county
Because Plymouth lies in two counties, permits and inspections depend on which side of the line your house is on. Both Richland and Huron counties are in Ohio's Climate Zone 5A, so the insulation targets do not change.
Typical homes
Older frame houses with empty walls, attics with a few inches of fill, and rim joists open to cold air. Attic sealing, blown-in and rim joist foam are the usual first steps.
Farm country
The area north and west is flat farmland with barns and shops, and foam on steel buildings is a common request.
Older village houses
Most of Plymouth's homes are older frame houses on narrow lots along Broadway and the side streets off Base Line Road. Typical problems are a cold first floor, frost on the inside of windows and a drafty stairway. The fixes are the same as elsewhere in the region: seal the rim and attic, then fill empty walls, priced space by space so you can plan the work.
