Basement Insulation

Did you know approximately 20% of heat is lost via the basement?

Your basement is more than just a storage space or additional recreational space hidden beneath your property. Like in an attic, basement insulation affects the energy efficiency of your property and indoor comfort.

Do You Need New Basement Insulation?

It’s not hard for basement insulation to slip your mind, so it’s essential to be aware of the indicators that your property is losing heat. If you suspect that the basement in your insulation isn’t performing as it should be, contact the EcoStar Insulation team. 

Signs Your Basement Insulation Needs Attention:

• Drafts: Do you notice cold walls, floors, or inconsistent temperatures, especially on the main floor of your property or in the basement itself? 
• Odours: Basement leaks, flooding, or even a build-up of condensation makes some insulation materials susceptible to mould and mildew, which inhibits the insulation performance and causes musty odours to fill the property. 
• High Heating Bills: If your heating bill is unexpectedly high, your furnace may be working overtime to compensate for heat loss due to poor basement insulation. 
• HVAC Maintenance & Repairs: Do you find your air conditioning unit or furnace is making more noise and running for more extended periods of time? Your basement insulation may be the cause.

When there’s an issue with your basement insulation, don’t hesitate. Call EcoStar Insulation.

Industry professionals opt for Spray Foam Insulation when installing basement insulation. Easy to install and lasts a lifetime, spray foam insulation revolutionizes energy-efficiency at home.

Basement Insulation Services

Homeowners will encounter claims of "the best" product and installer when researching basement insulation in Toronto. In reality, EcoStar Insulation stands out from its competition by leading building professionals for performance, longevity, and the capability to address multiple basement challenges with one product.

Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation

• Creates a sealed thermal blanket that expands into every gap.
• Acts as an insulator, air barrier, and vapour barrier all in one
• Prevents moisture buildup, which is one of the biggest problems in unfinished and finished basements.
• Provides high R-value per inch for improved comfort and energy efficiency.
• Strengthens structural integrity where it's applied.

Spray foam installation is a specialty application that requires specialized equipment and trained installers, making the choice of the right company just as important as the selection of the right material.

Our Basement Insulation Process

EcoStar Insulation follows a proven, building-science-backed workflow to ensure that your basement stays dry, comfortable, and energy-efficient.

1. On-Site Assessment & Moisture Check

We begin by examining the basement for drafts, cold spots, moisture risks, and ventilation issues. This helps us determine exactly where spray foam will deliver the highest impact.

2. Customized Insulation Plan

Depending on the size, layout, and condition of the basement, we recommend the right spray foam product and thickness to maximize R-value and durability.

3. Preparation & Protection

Our team protects all surfaces, prepares the workspace, and ensures safe containment before installation so that the application is controlled and precise.

4. Spray Foam Application by Professionals

Our certified installers apply the spray foam throughout the space evenly using specialized spray equipment. This product expands and hardens, creating a continuous, airtight, and moisture-resistant seal.

5. Code-Compliant Finishing

All work is done to Ontario Building Code standards and manufacturer's specifications to ensure proper ventilation, safety, and long-term performance.

6. Final Walkthrough & Post-Installation Support

We review the completed work with the homeowner after installation, confirm performance expectations, and provide ongoing support should any questions come up.

In Toronto, EcoStar Insulation installs numerous brand name spray foam products. Ideal for basement insulation, these products satisfy the strict standards of the National Building Code of Canada, as well as the Canadian Construction Material Centre. Around the industry, Spray Foam Insulation is considered the best product for the job, delivering maximum energy efficiency and home comfort throughout the entire home. No other product compares with SFI, and no other installation will deliver the long-term performance.

When it comes to basement insulation, the SFI application does it all with one install – it seals a given space totally airtight – it provides very high R-Values per installed inch – and it enhances structural strength wherever installed. And while SFI is regarded as a premium installation, the substantial energy savings in winter and summer will serve to “pay down” the original project cost. All things considered, this is one of the most cost effective approaches for homeowners who are seriously planning their basement insulation.

What Contributes to Poorly Performing Basement Insulation

In ideal conditions, most basement insulation will last anywhere from 20-30 years. But when most properties are inherited or occupied by their new owners, the insulation in the basement is often already well into that lifespan. 

The other significant factor in the condition of basement insulation is water intrusion. Basements are prone to flooding, leaks, and sewage backups as a result of foundation cracks and pipes. When some insulation materials become wet, they lose their ability to perform and even become attractive to pests and mould, which eat away at the material and further impact their energy efficiency capabilities. 

Protect your residential or commercial property from water damage with Spray Foam Insulation. High-quality spray foam is engineered to prevent air leaks and water leaks. The exceptional insulation material has an expected lifespan of 80 to 100 years.
