This homeowner in Pittsfield, MA called us originally for a mold removal problem. But when our Home Comfort Specialist arrived in the home, he noticed that the basement had insufficient insulation. Insufficient or nonexistent insulation can cause issues with condensation forming -- which can cause a mold issue.
We first had to remove the insufficient insulation in the rim joist. The "rim joist" is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house.
We then were able to insulate the rim joist using our two part expanding spray foam. This fills all the cracks and gaps. Now, the home will be more comfortable!
