Basement Spray Foam Insulation for Kansas City Homes

Many new homes, as well as older homes, do not have any insulation in the basement walls or rim/band joist areas. Since basements are typically below-grade, the majority of builders often do not think they need to insulate basements. However, when it comes to your home insulation, basement insulation is incredibly important. At KC Spray Foam & Coatings, LLC, our expert spray foam insulation technicians understand how essential proper basement insulation is in keeping your entire home efficient and comfortable. We are proud to provide our residential customers with quality basement spray foam insulation services.

The Importance of Basement Insulation

One of the most cost-effective ways to improve your home’s energy efficiency is to add sufficient basement insulation. During the winter, the ground freezes 3-4 feet below the surface. Basement walls can protrude out of the ground 1-2 feet above the ground level. Therefore, up to 6 feet of your home’s exterior basement walls can be exposed to temperatures below 32 degrees. This cold air is conducted through concrete basement walls, making your home cold and forcing your furnace to work much harder, costing you more money.

Additionally, mold in the basement is a common issue for homeowners throughout the greater Kansas City area. Heavy rainfall or snow can seep through the ground and into any cracks in your foundation. If not properly insulated, this buildup of moisture can cause harmful mold and mildew to grow in your basement.

Why Use Spray Foam Insulation in Your Basement?

Due to common issues of mold and moisture intrusion in basements, spray foam insulation is an excellent choice for basement insulation.

Closed cell spray foam insulation works exceptionally well on concrete, block, or rock walls in basements. Having the highest R-Value and being moisture-resistant, closed cell spray foam insulation can handle damp areas such as basements, making it a perfect choice for your basement insulation
