Spray Foam Insulation Before & After Photos

An improperly finished crawl space can impact your entire home. Insufficient insulation and moisture can contribute to your heating and cooling system working harder during the year. This will result in higher energy bills, reduced life span on the equipment and more resources require to be consumed.

Insulation that is falling down or not complete will not do the job you paid for. Let Advanced Basement Systems come in and give you a FREE assessment.

This home in Amherstburg, ON needed some insulation!  We installed closed-cell spray foam insulation at R18 (about 3" thick) on the perimeter walls. 
Since this basement will not be finished with drywall, it is recommended that a thermal barrier paint is applied over the foam. 
The white-finish you see on the foam is the thermal barrier paint, which we are certified to install, with an airless spray unit.
Great job Tim and Jeremy! 

Before

The home owner built a new detached garage and wanted the entire structure insulated.

After

Advanced Basement Systems applied a 3”, 2lb closed-cell spray foam on the walls and attic decking to provide proper air/vapour barrier and high R-value insulation.

Problem:  Cold floors, high utility bills and a musty smell throughout the home prompted this homeowner to contact us for help.  

Solution: Our team of crawl space specialists removed the old, wet and ineffective fiberglass and rigid insulation, and sealed off the crawl space against the heat/cold cycle which effects the crawl space air (and makes the home smell musty due to mould and mildew growth). Our installers finished off the job with Spray Foam Insulation.

Spray foam insulation is one of the newest and most-advanced types of insulation available. More and more home and business owners are choosing to have spray foam insulation installed because of its unique properties.

Unlike fiberglass and other “fluffy” insulation materials, Spray Polyurethane Foam can’t be damaged by moisture. Once installed, spray foam won’t ever fall out of place or lose its R-value because of compression like fiberglass can.

This homeowner will now enjoy improved comfort and lower utility bills!

Before

An area in a home that can be overlooked for complete insulation coverage is the header on top of the basement walls. When it is not properly sealed with spray foam insulation, moisture can seep in and hot conditioned air can seep out.

After

Advanced Basement Systems applied 3” of 2lb closed-cell spray foam which adds R-18 insulation and a continuous vapour barrier to the header through the basement. When using Spray foam in an area that contains a combustion burning appliance (HVAC/Water Heater), a thermal barrier is required by code. In this case that was met with a paint-based coating called DC 315 applied over the spray foam.
