Benefits of Basement Insulation

Basements can account for about 20% of a home’s total heat loss. This is mostly because of the large and uninsulated surface area both above and below ground level. Despite what you might think, ground is a poor insulator. The earth does not do a good job of absorbing heat below the topsoil level, and there’s a lot of air leaks in basement windows and foundation walls. Most basements have little or no insulation, which causes even more heat loss and drives up your heating bill and carbon emissions. For these reasons, completely insulating your basement from both inside and outside is very important to both residential and commercial construction.

Basement Insulation Cost

Please call for a free cost analysis for your basement insulation project. The first step in basement insulation is determining whether you need to insulate inside, outside, or both. Outside insulation depends on the construction build of your basement. Many basements that are on concrete or partial depth foundation walls have a crawl space or gap underneath the home that is a black hole for heat and energy.

Outdoor insulation involves excavating around your foundation, waterproofing any gaps or cracks, installing carefully coated and protected insulation, and then ensuring there’s proper drainage and cover for the remaining insulation to prevent mold or weather damage. Insulating from the outside is better longterm for your home, but is definitely the more expensive or impractical reason. Indoor insulation, while not quite as effective, can be accomplished much more efficiently and practically, making it easier for many homeowners to pursue. Indoor insulation requires an evaluation of energy loss, careful selection of insulation, and then air sealing and finishing the basement walls after reinstalling. Both options can be beneficial, so seek an expert opinion to give you some clarity on what’s best for your home.
