Wet Basement? Closed Cell Foam Is The Answer!
If you have experienced a basement leak and need to replace your insulation. Closed cell spray foam is your best option. Our company specializes in replacing old insulation with new energy efficient closed cell spray foam insulation.
As we all know, this year has been an extremely wet year for St. Louis and the entire state of Missouri. As a result, many of us are experiencing wet basements or major basement leaks. If this has happened to you please read why now is the time to replace your old insulation with new closed cell spray foam.
Unlike traditional fiberglass insulation, closed cell spray foam does not wick moisture. This means it will not generate or inhabit mold or mildew. If it gets wet, it simply dries out. So replacing your insulation if your basement does leak again, will not be a concern. Moisture resistance is not the only benefit to closed cell foam… It’s the best performing insulation on the market today!
Closed cell foam has an r-value of 6.9 per inch and completely air seals all cracks and voids by penetrating, expanding and sealing them off from the elements. Closed cell foam adheres directly to basement foundation walls and can be installed at depths as little as 1″. In fact, 1″ of closed cell foam will stop roughly 90% of the energy attempting to pass through it. At 2″ closed cell foam stops over 95% of the energy attempting to pass through it. So as you can see, closed cell spray foam insulation is the perfect product for insulating your basement foundation walls!
