Insulating a Basement with Open Cell Spray Foam in Williamstown, MA

This homeowner in Williamstown, MA called us stating that her home was losing a lot of heat. They had a stone foundation and it was not insulated. Heat moves from more to less - out of a building in winter, and into a building in summer, meaning they needed a barrier. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home and proposed a solution for this customer. This solution was to install open cell spray foam with an additional thermal barrier to maximize the comfort level this homeowner needed.

This open-cell spray foam was sprayed on to the stone walls with special equipment. The foam expands in place where it was sprayed, and air cannot pass through it - stopping air flow through all of the holes and cracks in the stone walls. We then added an additional spray on "intumescent" coating, which provides fire protection and is a thermal barrier. 

Now, this home is more comfortable than ever, and no longer will have heat loss problems!
