Basement Insulation Services in Denver, CO
Maximize Comfort, Energy Savings & Livable Space Below Ground
Turn That Cold Basement Into Warm, Usable Space
In Denver, basements aren’t just storage areas—they’re a major part of your home’s livable square footage. But if your basement feels damp, drafty, or uninviting, the space becomes unusable.
Most of the time when we get calls for basement insulation, it's because there was some sort of flooding which ruined the old insulation. Once everything is dried out and ready, we can replace the old insulation with new so that the finishing work can be done.
At PIKA Insulation, we specialize in basement insulation that transforms cold, uncomfortable basements into warm, energy-efficient, and moisture-controlled spaces. Whether you're planning a full renovation or just want to stop losing heat through your foundation, we’ll design the perfect insulation system for your home.
Finished vs. Unfinished Basement Insulation
For Finished Basements
If you're remodeling or already have a finished basement, we can insulate behind drywall or during renovation to:
● Make the space more comfortable
● Lower overall energy use
● Block outside noise
● Qualify for energy efficiency rebates
We coordinate with your contractor or handle the full project ourselves depending on your goals.
For Unfinished Basements
Even if you’re not planning to finish your basement, insulation can:
● Prevent energy loss through walls and floors
● Stop pipes from freezing in cold snaps
● Make upper floors warmer and easier to heat
Many Denver homeowners insulate unfinished basements just to improve whole-home comfort—and the energy savings add up fast.
Attic Insulation – Your First Line of Defense Against Energy Loss
Your attic is responsible for the majority of your home's heat loss. We install high-performance attic insulation that:
Improves your R-value to meet or exceed Denver climate recommendations
- Prevents warm air from escaping during winter months
- Keeps your home cooler in the summer
- Lowers heating and cooling bills significantly
A properly insulated attic can cut your energy use by up to 20% annually—and we make sure it’s done right the first time.

Our Basement Insulation Services Include:
At PIKA Insulation, we take a comprehensive approach to basement comfort. That means more than just stuffing insulation between studs—it means creating a thermal and moisture barrier designed for Denver’s climate.
Full Basement Inspection & Energy Evaluation
Before we recommend a solution, we:
● Check for existing insulation and signs of moisture damage
● Evaluate the condition of basement walls and floors
● Measure insulation R-values
● Identify air leaks, cold spots, and ventilation issues
From there, we’ll build a tailored plan to insulate your basement efficiently and safely.
Moisture Protection Comes Standard
In Denver’s freeze-thaw cycle, basements are vulnerable to condensation, especially on exterior walls. That’s why every insulation system we install includes moisture considerations:
● Vapor barriers where needed
● Proper wall assembly to prevent trapped moisture
● Sealing rim joists and foundation gaps
● Recommendations for dehumidification or ventilation
Insulating without addressing moisture is a recipe for mold—we make sure you’re protected.
Insulation Options for Basements
We offer several high-performance materials, depending on the construction of your basement and how you plan to use the space.
- Rigid Foam Insulation
Rigid foam boards provide high R-value in a thin layer and resist moisture, making them ideal for basement walls and foundations where space and dampness are concerns. - Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam expands to seal cracks and gaps, creating an air and moisture barrier while delivering excellent insulation performance for basement walls and rim joists. - Fiberglass or Batt Insulation
Fiberglass batts are a cost-effective solution for finished basement walls, helping regulate temperature and improve comfort when properly paired with air and moisture control.
Additional Basement Insulation Solutions
We offer a complete line of supporting services to ensure your insulation lasts and performs at its best.
1. Air Sealing
Before insulation is installed, we seal:
● Rim joists
● Wall penetrations
● Floor gaps
● Duct and plumbing entries
This stops air leakage and prevents drafts from creeping into your living space.
2. Soundproofing Insulation
For basement media rooms, home offices, or guest suites, we offer insulation designed to reduce sound transmission between floors and rooms—so you can enjoy peace and quiet throughout the house.
