Make Sure That Basement is "Buttoned Up" in Dudley, MA

Challenge

Your Basement is COLD. Your floors are always COLD. Your house is COLD. You don't want to spend an arm and a leg heating your home, but something has got to give!

Did you know?

The Rim Joist, or the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house is seldom insulated and NEVER air sealed. The joint and gaps between all the framing members allow for a lot of air leakage into the house. An improperly air sealed Rim Joist can also lead to excessive moisture in your home, especially and often times in your basement primarily.

Solution

Our Solution:

Sometimes, just air sealing and insulating that Rim Joist with spray foam can Improve the Energy Efficiency of your entire home! Two-part, expanding spray foam is installed on the Rim Joist and over the Sill Plate to seal all the air leaks from the outside and insulate the important area of your home.

Results:  

WARMER floors. More COMFORTABLE rooms. Less MOISTURE. LOWER ENERGY BILLS!
