Insulating Cold Basement Walls in East Longmeadow, MA

This East Longmeadow, MA customer reached out to Fogarty's Home Services to have a part of her basement finished for additional living space in her home. Before we can finish walls in a basement, we must properly insulate them. Poured concrete basement walls are are perpetually cold - about 17°F cooler than we like the interior of our homes to be. The dense concrete has a lot of mass and heat from the basement constantly flows into and through the wall by conduction and they can never be heated up.  Fogarty's Home Services fixed this problem by installing our Foamax™ insulation board on the basement walls. The Foamax™ polyiso board has a foil facing to reflect heat so the insulation isn't doing all the work by itself. Now our happy homeowner will have a warmer, more comfortable basement, warmer floors above the basement, less condensation in the summertime, and lower energy bills. In addition, her walls are now prepped for basement finishing.
