Basement Spray Foam Insulation in Glenview, IL 60025
Project Overview
Project Goal: Convert a cold, damp basement into a comfortable, energy-efficient living area by installing high-performance insulation that addresses thermal bridging and moisture intrusion.
Location: Glenview, IL 60025
Challenges
- Year-Round Comfort: The main goal was to help the basement stay at a steady, comfortable temperature so the family could enjoy the extra living space in both the heat of summer and the cold of winter.
- Keeping it Dry: Since the basement had bare concrete walls, we needed a way to block out humidity and keep the surfaces dry to ensure a healthy environment for years to come.
- Stopping Drafts: We focused on sealing up the small gaps around the foundation and rim joists to stop outside air from leaking in and to help the home's heating and cooling system run more efficiently.
Solution Provided
Green Attic Insulation delivered a permanent weatherization solution tailored to Glenview's climate, using advanced spray foam to create a complete thermal envelope:
✓ Rim Joist Air Sealing: Our team expertly applied spray foam to the rim joist areas to create a permanent seal at the top of the basement wall, successfully blocking outside drafts and securing the most common areas for air leaks.
✓ Foundation Wall Insulation: We transformed the basement walls by installing a premium, continuous layer of 2-3 inch closed-cell spray foam. This high-performance upgrade creates a seamless thermal blanket that provides much better protection and efficiency than standard insulation.
✓ Integrated Moisture Barrier: By using advanced closed-cell foam, we created a reliable water-resistant shield that protects the basement from ground moisture and keeps the concrete foundation surfaces dry.
