Why Should You Insulate Your Basement?

A well-insulated basement has several advantages which eventually increase the value of your property, including: 

• Making your house energy-efficient 
  Insulating your basements with the right materials can significantly enhance the energy efficiency of your home by saving on heating and cooling costs.
   

• Preventing freezing of water pipes
  Insulated basements and crawl spaces, where cold water pipes are installed, can help keep these pipes from freezing in extremely cold weather.
   

• Controlling indoor moisture
  If you have a well-insulated basement, humidity won’t build up that easily inside the house.

Types of Basement Insulation

There are many options for basement insulation that you can consider while planning. Here are some of the best choices that you can go for: 

• Spray foam insulation
  If you are not limited by budget constraints, spray foam is the best option out there. It is environmentally friendly, very easy to install, and is helpful in insulating hard-to-reach areas and the floor of the basement, sealing out air and moisture, and helping to reduce energy costs.
   

• Batt and blown insulation
  Fibreglass batt insulation, which is typically used in basement ceilings, crawl spaces, open spaces and attics, is made of ultra-fine fibres that combine sand and recycled glass. Some of the more eco-friendly batt insulation materials are made of less flammable cotton and wool. This is also known as blanket insulation.
   

Meanwhile, blown-in insulation methods use a blowing machine to cover spaces with loose-fill fibreglass, cellulose, rock wool and other materials.

​

Drill and fill insulation is a related method in which such material is injected into the wall.

Tips for Basement Insulation

Here are a few things to remember while insulating your basements: 

• Before you start, make sure there is no water entering your basement via any cracks or crevices. The space must be completely dry.
   

• When the insulation is installed, always cover it with drywall or some other surface.
   

• Make sure that there are no gaps or holes close to the foundation wall.
