Basement insulation
Basement insulation is crucial to regulating the temperature inside the basement and preventing outside elements such as air and moisture from entering. In the winter, an uninsulated basement can increase energy consumption by 30 percent, resulting in higher utility bills and significant heat loss. To keep the house warm and cozy, furnaces also need to work harder and for longer periods of time. Another problem associated with uninsulated or under-insulated basements and crawl spaces is frozen pipes. If your pipes freeze, they pose a threat to your home in the event of rupture. This can do a lot of damage and be very expensive to fix. A home with moisture and mildew is an ideal breeding ground for mould and bacteria, which can pose a serious health risk to its occupants. Mould can be extremely dangerous to respiratory health. Sealing all the air leaks and cracks in a basement prevents moisture from entering and results in a mould-free basement with excellent air quality.

Unfinished basements
Would you like to use the basement as a living space?
There are two options for homeowners with unfinished basements.
Homeowners can choose to insulate the ceiling and walls or just the ceiling on its own.
Creating a finished basement that is usable as a living space would require you to insulate the walls and ceiling. If you are not planning to use your basement as a usable living space, insulating just the ceiling is enough. This will seal and separate the basement from the rest of the house and you can close off all the heating and cooling vents. You will save money on your energy and utility bills with either option. Our certified insulation experts will answer all your questions and will guide you through the entire process.

Crawl space insulation
Energy efficiency throughout a home or building can only be achieved if all areas of the building are sufficiently insulated to their maximum R-Value (resistance value).
Crawl spaces are often overlooked and not associated with a building's thermal envelope. Just because crawl spaces are out of sight does not mean they should be out of mind. A home's crawl space is usually the first place to be under-insulated or have flawed, old, expired insulation.
Crawl spaces that are under-insulated or not insulated are the root cause of energy lost and higher utility bills. Crawl spaces that are not properly insulated can also lead to frozen pipes which can lead to a whole lot of other problems such as pipe rupture and flooding. We will inspect your crawl space and determine what the existing insulation material is. We will inspect it for mould and flaws and determine whether it needs to be replaced or topped off and detailed. We always work with our clients in every step of the process. We also keep in mind what the clients budget is and come up with the best plan that works for your budget and your home so you can enjoy perfect air quality for years to come all while saving money on your utility bills.
