If you’re working in Ontario you’ve seen how fast homes are being built these days. It’s great for business, but with speed often comes shortcuts. One of the biggest? Basement wrap instead of proper insulation.

Basement Wrap Leads To:
Moisture & Mold: Basement wraps might look like a cheap fix, but they trap moisture. This can lead to mold, which is bad for the home and a nightmare for your reputation.
Radon Gas: Wraps don’t seal up those cracks in the foundation, letting radon gas slip in. Good insulation helps seal those cracks and block Radon.
High Bills: Wraps don’t do much for thermal insulation, which means colder homes in the winter and warmer homes in the summer plus higher energy bills year round.
At Soundseals Insulation, we get the job done fast and we don’t cut corners. We use spray foam for that perfect airtight seal. We make sure basements stay dry, cozy, and energy-efficient.
