Basement Insulation in Southampton, Roslyn, Roslyn Heights & Great Neck

Basements throughout New York are often underinsulated. This is especially true in older homes that were built prior to the adoption of enhanced building codes. Throughout the area, many homeowners lose thousands of dollars each year due to heat loss through the slab, basement walls and crawl spaces. For most homeowners, improving the basement insulation can lead to a dramatic reduction of monthly heating bills and a significant increase in comfort. At Rocket Insulation, our team will help you determine the best way of sealing your basement to create a firm barrier between your home and the elements outside.

Types of Insulation That Can Go in a Basement

There are many types of insulation that are commonly used on basements in the region. These include rigid mineral wool boards, high-density polystyrene and polyurethane/polyisocyanurate boards. Many homeowners also use spray foam insulation, which creates a firm barrier against both air and moisture. It is also highly resistant to mold/mildew, which helps protect the indoor air quality within your home.
