Superior Basement Flooring with DRIcore Technology
At Sennott Contractors, we understand that moisture is the number one enemy of basement renovations. That’s why we use DRIcore subfloor membrane systems in our basement finishing projects.
The DRIcore Advantage:
- Moisture Protection: The patented air-gap technology creates a thermal break between your cold concrete floor and finished flooring, preventing moisture buildup and potential mold issues.
- Warmer Floors: DRIcore raises your floor temperature by up to 5.6°F, making your basement feel cozier and more comfortable year-round.
- Faster Installation: This innovative system allows us to complete your project more efficiently than traditional methods.
- Mold & Mildew Resistance: The engineered design prevents the growth of harmful mold and mildew that can damage your investment and affect indoor air quality.
- Cushioned Comfort: Enjoy a more comfortable walking surface that’s easier on your joints than concrete.
- Long-Term Protection: DRIcore provides lasting protection for your finished flooring investment, whether you choose carpet, laminate, engineered hardwood, or luxury vinyl.
We’re proud to offer this premium subfloor solution as part of our commitment to building basements that remain beautiful, comfortable, and problem-free for years to come.
Professional Basement Insulation Services
Proper insulation is critical to creating a comfortable, energy-efficient basement living space. At Sennott Contractors, we provide comprehensive basement insulation solutions that keep your space warm, dry, and comfortable year-round.
Our Insulation Approach:
- Comprehensive Assessment: We evaluate your basement’s unique characteristics and moisture conditions to determine the optimal insulation strategy.
- 2″ Rigid Foam Board Insulation: We use premium 2″ extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam board insulation for basement walls, providing numerous benefits:
- High R-value of R-10 for excellent thermal performance
- Moisture-resistant properties that prevent condensation on foundation walls
- Creates an effective thermal barrier between cold concrete and your living space
- Maintains its insulating properties over time, unlike fiberglass that can absorb moisture
- Provides a flat, even surface for attaching drywall or other wall finishes
- Helps maintain consistent temperatures throughout your basement
- Rim Joist Sealing: We pay special attention to rim joists—a major source of heat loss and potential moisture problems in basements.
- Thermal Break Solutions: We implement proper thermal breaks to prevent heat transfer between your foundation walls and interior finished spaces.
- Sound Attenuation: Our insulation strategies include sound-dampening techniques to create a quieter, more peaceful basement environment.
- Code Compliance: All our insulation work meets or exceeds local building codes for basement spaces.
- Energy Savings: Our professional insulation services can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs while making your basement comfortable in all seasons.
By properly insulating your basement with high-quality 2″ foam board, we create a foundation for comfort that will serve you well for decades to come, while protecting your investment from moisture issues and temperature fluctuations.
