Basement Insulation Before & After Photos

FlexiSpan® crack repair is actually a three-part process that begins with the application of a flexible sealant along the full length of the crack. Next, a strip of flexible and porous foam is installed over the crack.

Finally, an impermeable membrane is adhered to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. This fail-safe treatment allows any future seepage of water through the crack to move invisibly down the wall and into the basement’s perimeter drainage system.

Unlike sealant or mortar-based crack repair, the FlexiSpan® system is not adversely affected by hydrostatic pressure or slight movement in the basement wall. It works under all conditions.

This homeowner in Windsor, CT wanted to reduce drafts and humidity in the basement.  Rim joists are often uninsulated which allows cold dry air to enter the home in the winter and warm humid air to enter in the summer.  Our team used our closed-cell polyurethane spray foam insulation to air seal and insulate the rim joist.  Our spray foam has an insulation value of R7 per inch.  The foam expands ensuring all cracks and gaps are sealed to prevent outside air from entering.  The homeowner will have warmer floors, their home will be more comfortable and easier to heat and cool.

This homeowner in East Hartford, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help her finish her basement. They had a partially finished basement that they wanted redone, which included demolishing the old basement. Before we were able to finish the basement, however, we first had to insulate it. 

After removing the fiberglass insulation they had in the home,  we re-insulated using two-part spray foam. This spray foam was applied in the rim joist, which is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. We also applied Foamax foam insulation board to the walls of the basement, providing more insulation. Now, this basement is more comfortable than ever, and the homeowner can begin the process of having the basement of their dreams! 

Basement windows inserts were installed and sealed air tight. 

This home owner in Southampton, MA called us out because of his basement. The problem was that he had so much humidity that his store bought dehumidifier could not keep up. To remedy this issue we proposed to insulate his walls and spray his rim joist. The first step in doing this is to put out our 4x8 panels of our foamax poly-iso board. While doing this it is imperative to make sure we seal in between ever piece so no convective air can travel through the cracks. This treatment will help stop the humidity from wicking through the concrete. To finish this job off, we sprayed the rim joist with our 2-part closed cell spray foam. By spraying the rim joist, we will stop cold air and humidity from entering this basement and causing the bad smelling odors. Now that this project is complete, this home owner will not have to deal with the unpleasant smells in his basement any more!
