Insulating a Basement with Foamax Insulation Board in Great Barrington, MA

This homeowner in Great Barrington, MA called us after he had a large-scale basement mold issue remediated. The remediators had ripped out most of the walls, as well as the insulation. As a result, he was looking to get his basement insulated so that he could get it re-finished.

 

We were able to help this customer. We utilized our Foamax polyisocyanurate board alongside two-part spray foam to insulate the basement. Before we were able to utilize these, however, we had to remove the rest of the paneling. Our crew tore out the remaining parts of the finished basement. This ensured that we were insulating the basement properly, as well as leaving the homeowner room to re-finish the basement after the insulation was finished. Once the home was down to the cinderblock walls, we were able to go in and begin to insulate. The Foamax polyiso board was able to fasten directly over the existing cinderblock walls. After they were installed, we were able to insulate the rim joist with two-part expanding spray foam. This was sprayed in the rim joist and over the sill plate, preventing air leaks. Now, this homeowner is able to re-finish his basement, and it will be comfortable for years to come! 

Replacing Old Insulation Under Home in Stockbridge, MA

These homeowners in Stockbridge, MA had sagging old fiberglass insulation under their home and knew it had to go.

We removed the fiberglass, which was not providing much insulation value at all and letting cold air creep its way into the home, before getting started on the new insulation. We installed our SilverGlo graphite infused foam which has a radiant barrier to reflect heat and made sure to seal all the seams.

Stopping Severe Drafts and Moisture in Stockbridge, MA

These homeowners in Stockbridge, MA were having a serious problem with their crawlspace! They have pipes running through the crawlspace and needed to have an industrial heater down there to keep the pipes from freezing in the winter. A dehumidifier was needed constantly as the crawlspace was very damp. They were also hoping to get easier access to the crawlspace, which you can learn more about here!

We first removed fiberglass insulation that had been secured to the ceiling with a sort of chicken wire that was not helping the situation. After clearing everything up, we insulated the walls with our SilverGlo insulation foam board. We then put down a plastic matting, floor insulation, and finally a vapor barrier on the floor of the crawlspace, sealed securely with fasteners and special tape.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this crawlspace is far safer for the home above as well as the utilities running through it.

Installing RockWool Batting in the Ceiling of a Basement in Stockbridge, MA

This homeowner in Stockbridge, MA reached out to us hoping we would be able to help her with her home. She had a humidity problem and needed it checked out to prevent her mold problem from reoccurring. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home and found that she had no insulation in her basement whatsoever. When he was at the home, she mentioned that the basement could get quite loud, and she was hoping to try and muffle the sound for the people on the first floor of the home. 

 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. We utilized our RockWool batting, which both insulates the basement and dampens the sound transmission between floors. After we spray foamed the rim joist to insulate the basement, we got to work with the RockWool. We first had to add metal insulation support rods so that we could hold the insulation up effectively. After that, we added our RockWool insulation. This insulation is a fireproof mineral fiber. Now, the homeowner is excited to have a temperature-controlled basement, and they hear less basement noise when they are in the main living space!
