This homeowner in Palmer, MA had reached out to us hoping that we would be able to insulate their basement for them. They wanted to finish their basement, but first needed the basement insulated so that it would be comfortable.

 

We first removed the fiberglass insulation from the rim joist in the basement. (The rim joist is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house). We then replaced it with two-part expanding spray foam. This closed-cell spray foam expands to seal all gaps and cracks in the rim joist. 

 

After that, we needed to insulate the walls. To do this, we used our Foamax™ foam insulation board. Foamax has flame retardant properties - meaning that they are able to leave it exposed while we craft the basement of their dreams!

 

Now, their basement is much more comfortable!

Palmer's Leading Spray Foam Insulation Contractor

Spray foam insulation is the best choice for insulation if you’re looking to increase your comfort & decrease your energy bills. Spray foam insulation is truly the best option for home insulation and here are a few reasons why. Spray Foam Insulation provides an air barrier due to its ability to fill gaps and cracks. It is also great at staying in the hard to reach areas because of its super-adhesive qualities. Spray foam insulation is also waterproof, unlike fiberglass and cellulose insulation. Water will not be able to pass through the foam which makes it an extremely durable and long-lasting product. Lastly, spray foam insulation is foolproof. Spray foam is sprayed as a liquid and then expands and hardens to fill voids and gaps. There is never any chance for an area to be missed or bypassed. Once cured, spray foam insulation will stay in place for decades to come and will never shift or settle like fiberglass. To ensure your home has the best insulation available and your energy bills are low, switch to spray foam insulation today!

Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation Include:

  • Spray foam works in all areas of the home
  • Has a greater R-value
  • Acts as an air sealant
  • Is waterproof
  • Leaves no gaps

Crawl space insulation will block air from entering into your crawl space and we also add additional insulation so the existing air won't circulate throughout your home.

Job Stories From Palmer, MA
Installing ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring in a Basement in Palmer, MA

This homeowner in Palmer, MA called us wanting to get his basement finished. They had one part of their basement that was completely unfinished, and one part that was finished previously but had to be ripped out due to a flood. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home to help this family design and plan their dream basement. One of the issues this homeowner had was the cold concrete floors in half of the basement and cold tile in the other. 

 

We were able to help this customer by replacing his flooring with our ThermalDry™ Elite Plank Flooring. ThermalDry™ is made of inorganic material, meaning that it will not mold or get water damage. It is also designed specifically for basements. It is insulated, meaning that your basement floor will be warmer. Plus, frankly, it is beautiful. This customer chose it in the color light gray, which looked amazing with the wall color and fit perfectly in their dream basement.

 

Now, this customer is overjoyed -- they have a beautiful new basement with the perfect floor! 

Insulating Poured Concrete Basement Walls in Palmer, MA

This homeowner in Palmer, MA originally called us hoping that we would be able to help them insulate their basement. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted the basement was very cold. Poured concrete basement walls are buried in the cool earth and are perpetually cold - about 17˚F cooler than we like the interior of our homes to be. In the winter the part of the foundation that sticks up above the ground is much colder than that. Heat moves from more to less. The dense concrete has a lot of mass and heat from our basement constantly flows into and through the wall by conduction. In the summer, warm humid air from outside hits the cold basement walls and condensation forms, supporting mold. Results - cold basement, cold floors above the basement, higher fuel bills, more difficult to heat the house. 

 

We had the perfect solution for this homeowner. We utilized our Foamax foam insulation board. Our Foamax polyisocyanurate (Polyiso) foam insulation board is installed on the basement walls with our proprietary Foam-Tite fasteners. But not just any foam - Foamax polyiso foam has the flame retardant properties to satisfy building codes to leave it exposed in a basement - unlike expanded or extruded polystyrene foam (EPS, XPS). In addition, the Foamax polyiso board has a foil facing to reflect heat so the insulation isn’t doing all the work by itself. Results - warmer, more comfortable basement, warmer floors above basement, less condensation in the summertime, lower fuel bills, house is easier to heat.
