What's included
What our foam board insulation service includes
Every job includes the walkthrough, the thermal scan, the panels, the air sealing, and the cleanup. We do not sub out the cutting and sealing. If your wall needs a vapor barrier or a different panel thickness, we handle that too and tell you why before we start.
Thermal scan and moisture check
We scan your Clinton walls with a thermal imaging camera and check for moisture with a moisture meter. You see exactly where the cold spots are and which walls need foam board first. This takes about 45 minutes and is included in every job.
XPS or polyiso panels
We bring the right panel for the wall. XPS for basements and rim joists where moisture is a factor, polyiso for exterior walls where you want more R-value per inch. Panels are cut to your framing, not forced into place.
Air sealing at every seam
Every seam, corner, and penetration gets sealed with insulation tape or spray foam. This is the step that turns a stack of panels into an air barrier. We do not skip it, and we do not rush it.
Vapor barrier where needed
In Clinton basements and crawl spaces, we install a vapor barrier on the warm side of the foam board when the wall assembly calls for it. That keeps moisture out of the cavity and protects the R-value you paid for.
Cleanup and verification
We clean up the dust and scraps, re-scan the walls to confirm the cold spots are gone, and walk you through what we did. You get the before and after thermal images and a simple maintenance checklist.
Service overview
What Foam Board Insulation in Clinton actually does
Foam Board Insulation in Clinton is a rigid panel product, usually XPS or polyiso, that gets cut to fit between studs, over rim joists, or against basement walls. Unlike fiberglass batts, it does not sag or lose R-value when it gets damp. We score it with a utility knife, snap it to size, and seal the edges with insulation tape so air cannot slip around the panel. In a Clinton home, that means fewer drafts at the outlets, warmer floors, and a furnace that cycles less.
Most Clinton homes built before 2000 have fiberglass batts in the walls that have settled or been compressed by old wiring. That leaves gaps where cold air pours in during a Davis County January. Rigid foam insulation Clinton panels close those gaps and add continuous R-value across the studs, not just between them. If you have been searching foam board insulation near me Clinton and getting thin answers, we walk the house, find the worst air leaks with a thermal imaging camera, and tell you exactly where panels will pay off first.
How we workWe verify the cause, compare realistic options, and confirm the repair before we leave.
The service timeline
How our foam board installation works
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Walkthrough and thermal scan
We start with a full walkthrough of your Clinton home, using a thermal imaging camera and a moisture meter to find the cold spots and any hidden moisture. You get a plain-English rundown of where the air is leaking and which walls will benefit most from foam board. This takes about 45 minutes.
Measure and cut panels
We measure each bay and cut XPS or polyiso foam board to fit with a utility knife and straightedge. Panels go in tight, with no gaps wider than a quarter inch. We wear respirators and protective suits when cutting, and we clean up the dust before moving to the next room.
Seal every seam
Every seam, corner, and penetration gets sealed with insulation tape or spray foam from a spray foam gun. This is the step that makes foam board work. An unsealed panel is just a stiff board. A sealed panel is an air barrier. We do not skip it.
Add vapor barrier where needed
In Clinton basements and crawl spaces, we install a vapor barrier on the warm side of the foam board when the wall assembly calls for it. That keeps moisture out of the wall cavity and protects the R-value you just paid for. We follow Utah code and R-value standards for our climate zone.
Verify and walk you through
Before we pack up, we re-scan the walls with the thermal camera to confirm the cold spots are gone. We show you the before and after images, explain what we did, and leave you with a simple maintenance checklist. If anything looks off, we fix it before we leave.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use on every job
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Thermal imaging camera
We use it to find cold spots and air leaks before we cut a single panel, and again after the job to confirm the walls are sealed. You see the before and after images.
Moisture meter
We check wall cavities and basement walls for hidden moisture. If a wall is wet, foam board alone will not fix it. We find the source first.
Utility knife and straightedge
Every panel is scored and snapped to fit your framing. Clean cuts mean tight seams, and tight seams mean the air barrier actually works.
Spray foam gun
We use it to seal the gaps that tape cannot reach, like rim joist corners and around plumbing penetrations. Great Stuff and similar foams fill the odd shapes.
Insulation tape
We tape every seam between panels. This is the step that turns a stack of boards into a continuous air barrier. We do not skip it.
Respirator and protective suit
Cutting foam board makes dust. We wear proper protection while cutting and clean up before we leave, so your house is not covered in foam dust.
Use cases
When Clinton homeowners call us for foam board
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Rim joist sealed in a Lakeview home
A Lakeview homeowner had cold floors all winter and drafts at every outlet on the main floor. The rim joist was bare, with air moving freely between the basement and the living space. → We cut XPS foam board to fit tight against the rim joist, sealed the edges with spray foam, and taped the seams. The thermal scan showed the cold spots gone. The homeowner reported warmer floors within a day.
Metal building dried out in Clinton Industrial Park
A metal shop building sweated all winter and lost heat through the walls and ceiling. Condensation dripped onto stored equipment and the space was uncomfortable to work in. → We installed foam board with taped seams on the walls and ceiling, creating a thermal break against the metal. Condensation dropped sharply and the building now holds heat well enough to work in comfortably.
Problems we solve
Problems foam board insulation solves in Clinton
Most Clinton insulation problems come down to air movement and moisture. Foam board handles both better than fiberglass in walls, basements, and rim joists. Here is what we fix most often.
Cold floors and drafty rooms all winter
We find the air leaks with a thermal camera and seal them with foam board and spray foam. The rim joist and basement wall are usually the worst offenders. Once those are sealed, your floors warm up and your furnace stops cycling constantly.
Damp basement with sagging fiberglass
We remove the wet batts, install closed-cell XPS foam board against the wall, seal the seams, and add a vapor barrier where the assembly calls for it. The basement stays dry and the insulation keeps working.
High energy bills from poor R-value
We add foam board insulation in Clinton Utah to give you continuous R-value across the studs, not just between them. That cuts thermal bridging and lowers your heating load. We follow Utah R-value standards for our climate zone.
Frozen pipes in a cold snap
We insulate the rim joist and any exposed pipes with foam board and seal the air paths that let cold in. If you have had a freeze before, tell us and we will detail those walls first.
Pricing process
What foam board insulation costs in Clinton
$400 - $3,200 depending on scope
Square footage
The bigger the wall area, the more panels and labor. A single rim joist is a half-day job. A full basement takes one to two days. We measure on site and price by the actual area.
Panel thickness and type
One-inch XPS costs less than two-inch polyiso. Thicker panels mean more R-value and more material cost. We recommend the thickness that meets Utah R-value standards for your wall assembly, not the cheapest option.
Wall condition
If the old insulation is wet, moldy, or pest-damaged, it has to come out first. Removal and disposal add cost. We tell you upfront if removal is needed so there are no surprises.
How much does foam board insulation cost in Clinton UT?
Most Clinton foam board jobs run $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot installed, depending on panel thickness and whether we are doing walls, rim joists, or a full basement. A typical 1,000-square-foot basement lands between $1,800 and $3,200. We give you a written price before we start, and it does not change unless you add scope.
What is the best rigid foam insulation for Clinton Utah?
For Clinton basements and rim joists, closed-cell XPS is the best rigid foam insulation because it handles moisture and holds R-value around R-5 per inch. For exterior walls where you want more R-value per inch, polyiso gives you R-6 to R-6.5. We match the panel to the wall assembly and the moisture profile of your house.
Can foam board insulation be used in Clinton basements?
Yes, and it is one of the best places to use it. Clinton basements see temperature swings and occasional damp, which is exactly where fiberglass fails. We install XPS foam board against the basement wall, seal the seams, and add a vapor barrier on the warm side when the assembly calls for it. Your basement stays warmer and drier.
