Insulating a Rim Joist in Simsbury, CT

This homeowner in Simsbury, CT called us looking to get his attic insulation replaced. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, the homeowner expressed interest in insulating the basement as well.

We had the perfect solution for this customer! We utilized two-part expanding spray foam. We insulated the rim joist (the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the home). We spray this foam in the rim joist and over the sill plate. Insulating the rim joist in this way seals all air leaks -- filling in the cracks and gaps that are present there. This prevents outside air from getting into the home. The homeowner is now very happy, and he is much more comfortable in his home!
