This homeowner in Marlborough, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her basement. She had issues with her home, specifically, she had musty smells and cold floors.
This basement had no insulation. Therefore, the customer was hoping for insulation in the rim joist. The rim joist is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house.
Luckily, we had the perfect solution for this customer. We insulated the basement with two-part closed cell spray foam. This spray foam expands and fills all cracks and gaps in the rim joist and over the sill plate. Now, this home will be much more comfortable, and there are no more air leaks in the basement!
This homeowner wanted to lower fuel bills and humidity in their basement. We installed our "one of a kind" Basement to Beautiful panels. These unique panels are made from our SilverGlo foam insulation which protects from fluctuating temperatures and change in season - making your home comfortable. We also installed our SaniDry Basement Air System, which is a high performance dehumidification system that keeps basements dry, helps prevent mold and lessens humidity upstairs!
Old moldy insulation was removed in a homeowner's basement and replaced with Foamax insulation boards on the walls and Thermal Dry Plank Flooring. This basement insulation and installation helped with making the basement moisture-resistant and preventive for future mold growth and more energy efficient.
This homeowner in Longmeadow, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him with water that was in his basement. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he identified multiple things in addition to the water that the homeowner stated they wanted help fixing. One of these things was the fact that the basement did not have any insulation in it.
We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, we spray foam the rim joist in the basement in order to seal and insulate it. The "rim joist" is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the home. Two part expanding spray foam is installed on the rim joist and over the sill plate to seal all air leaks from the outside and insulate this important area of the home. Our spray foam has a high insulation value per inch of R7, and because it expands, it seals all cracks and gaps and joints where air from the outside enters the home. Results - warmer floors, less drafts, more comfortable rooms, the house is easier to heat and costs less to heat, less summertime condensation on cold basement surfaces.
This homeowner in South Hadley, MA had called and complained about having cold floors. One of the things we always look out for is the rim joist in the basement. In this case, like most other homes, the rim joist was not insulated. It was letting in cold and dry air in in the winter and hot humid air in in the summer.
To fix this problem we have to First remove any old fiberglass batting. Then we spray our 2 part expanding spray foam to seal up all gaps and penetrations. Now we have stop the convection and conduction loss that was causing this homeowner problems.
Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home will be far more comfortable!
