History

Unadilla was incorporated in 1891; its name comes from an Iroquois word meaning council place. An F2 tornado hit the outskirts on December 31, 2006.

Farm country

The area is agricultural, with farmhouses, shops and barns. Closed-cell foam on steel buildings and crawl space work in older homes are the main jobs.

Small-job minimums

Many foam installers carry a minimum charge, HomeGuide cites $1,000 to $2,000 or more. In smaller towns like Unadilla, combining the attic, crawl space and any shop work on one visit usually makes the most sense.

What older Unadilla homes need

The oldest homes in Unadilla date to the early 1900s, built with no insulation in the walls and open space under the floor. Later houses from the 1970s through the 1990s have some insulation but little air sealing. For the older homes, dense-pack cellulose in the walls, sealing and insulating the attic and dealing with the crawl space make the biggest difference. For the newer ones, sealing the ceiling, topping up the attic and replacing any wet batts under the floor are usually enough. Dooly County's long, hot growing season means summer cooling is the main concern, so the attic is often the first priority in a dry house.
