Basement Insulation
Toronto Tapers is proud to provide quality basement insulation services to our customers in Toronto and the GTA region. And in tough climates like the one in Toronto, attic insulation and basement insulation are the key components of maintaining proper temperature balance.
Because it is placed below ground, the basement is extremely vulnerable to moisture and mold. In fact, most cases of severe mold growth start in the basement. Luckily, preventing such scenarios isn’t hard at all. To avoid mold and moisture, you need to improve efficiency, moisture-resistance, and ventilation.
And to do so, you just need to hire the right insulation company for the job. At Toronto Tapers we have years of experience and tons of satisfied customers in our resume. We know firsthand how basement insulation is an integral part of the overall home insulation system. Whether with spray foam, blown in, or batts, we will properly insulate your basement in no time.

Why Do You Need professional Taping?
Drywall taping is an integral part of finishing a wall system. Not only does it make your wall look good, it ensures a smooth and clean surface for paint to be applied. It also stops smoke and fumes from penetrating your wall and reinforces your drywall joints to prevent cracking.
When drywall taping is not completed properly, it can lead to potential problems while also conveying a lack of workmanship. These problems are almost always paired with the an aesthetically unpleasing finish that becomes difficult to correct. These potential deficiencies can delay other trades and subsequently delay your schedule.
Inside vs Outside Insulation
Before you start learning about materials, it’s good to know the 2 basic options for basement insulation. Depending on the type and condition of the foundation of your commercial or residential structure, inside or outside insulation can be used.
Inside basement insulation can be installed at any time of year, regardless of weather. It is also cost-effective and provides a practical insulation solution for those not looking to engage in the extensive construction process involved in outside insulation.
Concrete foundations, found in almost all houses build since the 1920s, can be insulated from the inside or outside. Older rubble, brick, or stone foundations often need to be insulated from the outside, as they are not as moisture or heat resistant as concrete.
Outside basement insulation has its own set of benefits, as well as complications. As mentioned, it requires an excavation of the soil around the foundation. However, the outside wall is often more continuous than inside walls, which makes it easier to properly insulate. Additionally, if it is an old build being insulated, the exterior wall can be repaired as it is insulated. As all the work takes place outside the structure, the interior goings on are not interrupted. It also prevents frost from penetrating the foundation.
