Before & After

Exposed Rim Joists Causing Cold Floors & Drafty Rooms in Spring Lake, NJ

This homeowner in Spring Lake, New Jersey was experiencing cold floors and drafty rooms on the first floor. After inspecting the basement, we found the rim joists were exposed and not properly insulated. By properly spray foaming the rim joists, we can seal these areas and stop outside air from leaking in through the bottom of the home. When cold air enters through the rim joists, it often leads to cold floors and uncomfortable drafts in the rooms above. Properly sealing and insulating the rim joists helps improve comfort, boost energy efficiency, and lowers energy bills.
