BASEMENT INSULATION
WORK DONE ON SHORT NOTICE
“Thank you for getting my basement done on such short notice. The energy audit went very good and I am glad that I got bonus points for air sealing. Before insulation, we had 10 to 15-degree difference in the temperature. After the insulation job, I notice a very slight temperature difference between upstairs and downstairs, hardly noticeable”.

THE BENEFITS OF BASEMENT INSULATION
If you're on the fence about basement insulation, we invite you to consider the following benefits that installing it can offer:
-
Reduction of energy consumption: When you insulate your basement, you install a protective cover protecting your home from temperature fluctuations. This prevention of outside air from coming in and vice versa reduces the stress on your heating and cooling machinery, reducing your energy consumption and costs.
-
Prevention of moisture accumulation: Basements tend to accumulate moisture, which has given rise to the term 'weeping walls.' With adequate basement insulation, you can prevent condensation, which will protect your basement from water damage and the growth of fungi and mould.
-
Enhancement of comfort: As we've mentioned above, basement insulation prevents the loss of inside air. This quality dramatically enhances the comfort inside your property, with even temperatures all year round.
-
Prevention of frozen pipes: In the winter, water pipes in the basement are prone to freezing, causing numerous plumbing issues. Basement insulation prevents this phenomenon, saving you money on costly repairs.

FAQs
The following are some commonly asked questions about our basement insulation in Gravenhurst and the whole central Ontario region:
WHAT IS SPRAY FOAM INSULATION AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
We've mentioned earlier that installing spray foam insulation is one of the most effective ways to seal your basement. We use a gun to spray this type of insulation in place. It's an incredibly versatile type of insulation that we can blow into walls, concrete slabs, under floors, and more. Its ability to fit into even the smallest nooks makes it highly efficient. Once we spray it into the desired area, it expands up to 30-60 times its liquid value. By expanding, this type of insulation prevents air leakage, which means that it stops the warm air from inside your home from escaping. Similarly, it creates a shield against outside air and hinders it from coming in. With this process, spray foam insulation works with your heating and cooling equipment to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
WHY DO I NEED BASEMENT INSULATION?
Your basement is one of the critical areas of air leakage. You could have the most efficient insulation enveloping other parts of your property, but an uninsulated basement will always lead to air leakage. Air leakage will stress your heating and cooling equipment, cause structural damage to your property and lead to the growth of fungi, mould and mildew.
HOW MUCH WILL MY BASEMENT INSULATION COST?
When it comes to the cost of basement insulation, there is no set standard. The cost of the basement insulation depends on the size of your basement, the areas requiring insulation, and more. If you'd like to get a quote from our team to get a better idea, don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
