Insulating a Basement in Ludlow, MA

This homeowner in Ludlow, MA called us hoping that we would be able to make her home more comfortable - some rooms in her home were very cold. When our Home Comfort Specialist came to the home, he noted that the rim joist was unsealed and poorly insulated with just fiberglass batts. 

To help this homeowner, we had to first remove the inefficient insulation. This was bagged and put into our trucks for disposal at our warehouse.

After that, we used our closed cell expanding spray foam. We sprayed this evenly in each cavity in the rim joist and over the sill plate. (The rim joist is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house). This two-part spray foam expands to seal all cracks and gaps. It also has a high insulation value per inch of R7. 

Now, this homeowner has a warmer and more comfortable home!
