Trusted Radon Testing & Mitigation Company in Glastonbury, CT

This homeowner in Glastonbury, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his unfinished basement. He wanted to remove the insulation from his basement ceiling and place insulation on the basement walls instead. He was considering finishing his basement, and wanted to be prepared if he did go that route.

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, we install our Foamax polyisocyanurate (Polyiso) foam insulation board on the basement walls. Foamax polyiso foam has the flame retardant properties to satisfy building codes to leave it exposed in a basement. This means that if he does not want to finish the basement in the future, he still has all of the insulation value, as well as attractive basement walls!

This homeowner in Glastonbury, CT called us hoping to talk about his insulation. A pest control company recommended that he remove and replace his attic insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that the home was in need of both basement and attic insulation, based off of the issues that the homeowner was experiencing. In the basement, he was having a humidity issue. In a basement, the “rim joist” is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. The joints and gaps between all the framing members allow for a lot of air leakage into the house. The rim joist is seldom insulated and never air sealed. Basement ceiling insulation, especially fiberglass batts, doesn’t stop the flow of cold air into the home. Results - cold floors, drafty, uncomfortable rooms, cold basement/lower level, higher heating and cooling bills and more condensation in the basement or crawl space in the summer.

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, we spray foam the rim joist in the basement in order to seal and insulate it. Two part expanding spray foam is installed on the rim joist and over the sill plate to seal all air leaks from the outside and insulate this important area of the home. Our spray foam has a high insulation value per inch of R7, and because it expands, it seals all cracks and gaps and joints where air from the outside enters the home. Results - warmer floors, less drafts, more comfortable rooms, the house is easier to heat and costs less to heat, less summertime condensation on cold basement surfaces.
