This home owner in Southampton, MA called us out because of his basement. The problem was that he had so much humidity that his store bought dehumidifier could not keep up. To remedy this issue we proposed to insulate his walls and spray his rim joist. The first step in doing this is to put out our 4x8 panels of our foamax poly-iso board. While doing this it is imperative to make sure we seal in between ever piece so no convective air can travel through the cracks. This treatment will help stop the humidity from wicking through the concrete. To finish this job off, we sprayed the rim joist with our 2-part closed cell spray foam. By spraying the rim joist, we will stop cold air and humidity from entering this basement and causing the bad smelling odors. Now that this project is complete, this home owner will not have to deal with the unpleasant smells in his basement any more!
