Basement Insulation Installation
At Greenlink Energy Solutions, we believe that a fully insulated home is the key to achieving energy efficiency and comfort. We specifically design our basement insulation installation services to counteract the common issues homeowners face with unfinished or poorly insulated basements. We focus on creating a moisture-resistant barrier that protects your living space from dampness, mold, and mildew, ensuring a healthier environment for you and your family.
A comfortable home & low energy costs starts from the ground up
The basement is an important part of the home to look at, as many houses have basement insulation in the form of fiberglass batts installed between basement ceiling joists. But this insulation does nothing to make your basement more comfortable and energy-efficient. The other limitation of fiberglass insulation is that it can’t stop air leakage that causes comfort, energy, and moisture problems.
At Greenlink Energy Solutions, we provide residents in the Rockford, IL, and Madison, WI, areas with basement insulation installation services to ensure this very important part of the home is thoroughly protected.

The Greenlink Process to Basement Insulation Installation
Using our 360° holistic approach to building science, our staff addresses these areas of this location of the home with this professional insulation service.
There are several terms in the building science industry to describe the foundational perimeter of a structure. You’ll often hear “rim joist” or “band joist” to describe the area where your exterior basement walls meet the outside. This is a common area for air penetration, which can lead to cold floors and temperatures in the winter and warm temperatures in the summer. Moisture damage and pest infestation can also occur in poorly insulated basements.
As experienced insulation contractors, we understand that sometimes not everything’s about being hot or cold. Sometimes you simply want some peace and quiet, or maybe just a private space for your hobbies. Certain types of basement insulation are perfect for sound abatement. The joists of basement ceilings are a perfect place to insulate if you’d like to create a sound-resistant environment for your loved ones.
