Best Basement Insulation in Albany NY
You may not spend much time in your basement, but typical basements lose a significant amount of heat and can greatly affect the comfort, energy efficiency, and health of your home. Most basements are constructed of brick, concrete, and rubble, none of which are good insulating materials. Insulating walls that are above the earth grade can stabilize the temperature of your basement and cut your energy costs, as well as prevent moisture problems, insect infestation and dangerous radon infiltration.

Maximize your home's comfort and energy efficiency.
True Building Performance contractors insulate basements with smooth foundation walls with sheets of foam board fastened directly to the wall surface. In homes with irregular foundation wall surfaces closed cell spray foam insulation is the best option. With a combination of insulation and air sealing, we bring your basement inside the conditioned space of your home to increase overall comfort and energy efficiency throughout your entire home.
Rim Joists: Air sealing and insulating the rim joist of your basement or crawlspace also makes a substantial difference in stabilizing the temperature and increasing the comfort of your home. The rim joist is a common weak spot in the boundary between you and the environment outside. By sealing and insulating this area, we shut down air infiltrating your home and reduce a phenomenon known as the stack effect.
If you are looking to increase your home’s energy efficiency, there is no better time than now to start on your basement insulation project! As always, we stand behind our promise of reliable, quality service – guaranteed – to each and every one of our customers.
