Servicing Michigan's Lower Peninsula & Greater Toledo
Most homes in Michigan have insufficient or no insulation in their rim joist, causing cold outside air to enter the home around the foundation area easily.
Open cell spray foam expands 100 times to fill all the cracks and crevices in the rim joist. With a total air seal that other insulation materials can’t hold a stick to, spray foam in the rim joist is one of the most cost-efficient ways for homeowners to take control of the comfort and energy efficiency in their home and basement.
Preventing air leaks around your home’s foundation area in the rim joist increases your home’s energy efficiency and savings on monthly energy bills.
The air seal created by spray foam insulation is key in creating a basement that doesn’t experience huge temperature swings and remains comfortable.
With less cold air coming in from the outside, floors are more comfortable, and drafts around the foundation are greatly reduced.
If there is currently old fiberglass insulation in the rim joist, a crew will remove the old insulation and dispose of it, so you don’t have to mess with it. They will then ensure any furniture or storage bins are cleared away from the basement walls. If necessary, the crew will then place plastic over the windows and any shelves and storage to ensure they don’t get overspray on them.
If we are also insulating your crawl space, the rim joist is included in that scope of work as well.
