When Northern Illinois winters roll in, your basement can become a source of drafts, dampness, and sky-high energy bills. Inspecting your basement insulation before the first freeze is one of the smartest moves you can make. Koala Insulation of Northern Illinois helps homeowners stay warm, dry, and energy-efficient all season long.
