De Soto Homes and Buildings
Spray Foam Insulation in De Soto serves a river town in the middle of a big change. The 9,080-acre Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant closed in 1993, De Soto annexed the full 17-square-mile property by October 2022, and in July 2022 Panasonic announced a planned $4 billion EV battery plant on the northern part of the site. New housing and businesses follow growth like that.
River history
De Soto sits on the Kansas River. During the Great Flood of 1951 the river crested at De Soto at 42.3 feet, the highest reading on the river in that flood. Homes near the river can have damp basements, and closed-cell foam, which does not absorb water, is the right choice below grade.
Homes
Older homes in town need attic depth, sealing and rim foam. Newer homes need help in bonus rooms and around fixtures.
Shops and outbuildings
Rural lots around De Soto have pole barns and shops. Closed-cell foam on steel stops condensation and holds heat.
Industrial employers
Employers include Engineered Air, Huhtamaki, Merck Animal Health and Rehrig Pacific. Small commercial and light-industrial buildings can be insulated with foam on walls and roofs.
