Foundation Inspection and Moisture Control
- Our assessment identifies potential water sources, such as foundation cracks or poor drainage, before insulation is applied.
- We recommend solutions for interior water management to ensure the long-term performance of the insulation system.
Insulating Interior Basement Walls
- Closed-cell spray foam provides an all-in-one vapor barrier and high R-value insulation perfect for concrete walls.
- Alternatively, rigid foam boards are installed against the foundation walls, with seams taped to create a continuous air and vapor barrier.
- We ensure proper installation of fire-retardant coverings over foam insulation as required by local building codes.
Sealing the Rim Joist and Sill Plate
- The rim joist area at the top of the foundation is one of the largest sources of air leakage in a home.
- We use spray foam or carefully cut foam blocks to seal this critical area completely.
- This step prevents cold air from entering the floor system and creating cold floors on the first level of your home.
