Insulating a Basement in West Stockbridge, MA

This homeowner in West Stockbridge, MA reached out to us about his basement insulation. The fiberglass insulation he had was described by the homeowner as a "good home for mice", and he was concerned about it. He wanted to replace it with something more rigid. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he discussed different options with the homeowner.

We had the perfect solution for this customer! In this solution, we utilize two-part expanding spray foam. Once we remove the old insulation, we insulate 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. Now, this homeowner is much more comfortable in his home!
