Harris County — Highway 90 / San Jacinto River East
Why Highlands Needs Spray Foam for Highlands and the San Jacinto Corridor
Highlands sits along Highway 90 East in east Harris County, positioned between the San Jacinto River to the west and the Galveston Bay watershed to the south. Residential neighborhoods along Main Street, Wallisville Road, and the communities bordering the San Jacinto River floodplain experience some of the most persistent ground moisture conditions in Harris County — the combination of river bottomland soils, tidal backflow influence from Galveston Bay, and the industrial emissions from the nearby Ship Channel corridor creates a genuinely demanding insulation environment. Most homes in Highlands date to the 1950s through 1980s and have original insulation that has absorbed moisture, settled, and in many cases never been air sealed.
Harvey's impact on the San Jacinto River corridor was severe in Highlands — the community experienced significant flooding, and the post-Harvey renovation cycle that followed created demand for comprehensive home upgrades including spray foam as part of flood-resilient rebuilding strategies. Closed cell spray foam on crawl spaces and rim joists is a key component of flood-resilient construction because it does not absorb or retain moisture the way fiberglass does, and it maintains its R-value even after water exposure. We handle both the residential retrofit and the occasional light industrial and warehouse work along the Highway 90 East corridor.

Common Questions from Highlands Homeowners
Highlands Spray Foam FAQ
Questions specific to Highlands neighborhoods, building types, and local conditions. For our full library visit the FAQ page.
My Highlands home was affected by Harvey flooding. What is the right insulation approach post-flood?
Post-flood homes in Highlands should have all flood-affected insulation removed, substrate surfaces HEPA cleaned, and moisture readings taken to confirm drying is complete before new insulation is applied. Closed cell spray foam is the correct replacement specification for crawl spaces and rim joists in flood-zone homes because it does not absorb or retain moisture and will not be permanently damaged by future flood events.
Does San Jacinto River proximity affect insulation choices in Highlands?
Yes — San Jacinto River bottomland soils keep ground moisture consistently elevated throughout Highlands regardless of season. Combined with the tidal backflow influence from Galveston Bay, this makes crawl space vapor control through closed cell foam a genuine requirement rather than an optional upgrade for Highlands homes.
Do you serve all Highlands neighborhoods including communities along Wallisville Road?
Yes — we serve all Highlands ZIP codes including 77562 and cover all residential communities throughout east Harris County along Highway 90 between Baytown and Crosby.
My 1960s Highlands home has original insulation and shows moisture staining in the attic. What causes that?
Moisture staining in attics is caused by humid outdoor air entering through unsealed bypasses and condensing on cooler surfaces. The correct fix is air sealing every bypass first, then applying spray foam. Simply adding more insulation on top of moisture-stained material will not resolve the underlying moisture pathway.
How long does a Highlands residential project take?
Most single-family homes finish in one day. Post-flood homes requiring removal of damaged material, or homes with combined attic and crawl space scope, typically take two days.
Is financing available?
Yes — 0% interest for 12 months through Wells Fargo Home Projects for qualifying purchases, subject to credit approval.
