Insulating a Basement in Worthington, MA

This homeowner in Worthingtonb, MA reached out to us because she was interested in basement waterproofing, even though she did not have active water at the time. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he found that the homeowner was actually concerned about the humidity and moisture in her basement, as well as the mold and musty odor. They were also having comfort issues in the home. 

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. Combined with our other solutions (including a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier), this homeowner is much more comfortable in her home!
