Cold Air Seeping into Minneapolis, MN Home Stopped with Spray Foam Insulation

This Minneapolis, MN homeowner was experiencing cold air seeping into the bottom of their home, which pushes the warm air out of the top of the home. The owner needed a permanent fix, so they turned to DBS for a solution. 

Design specialist Henrik Makitalo assisted this homeowner with a free no-obligation estimate to help their home. Following the inspection, Henrik suggested the owners insulate the top area of their home in order to stop the cold air from seeping in and keep the warm air from escaping. 

Foreman Raeshawn Pelfrey led the installation of this solution, along with a team. The team installed closed-cell spray polyurethane foam to insulate the home. This spray foam effectively seals off air infiltration while creating a moisture barrier. Along with the insulation benefits, this spray foam also adds strength to the framing and sheathing of the structure.

This homeowner can now relax knowing the warm air they want is staying where they need it. 

Minneapolis, MN Crawl Space Insulation Increases Comfort and Home Value

Homeowners in Minneapolis, MN wanted to encapsulate their crawlspace to improve comfort in the wintertime. They are preparing to sell the home and want to fix the energy issues and provide a healthy, safe, and comfortable home for a prospective owner in the future. Their cold, drafty floors were a result of an under-insulated crawlspace. Looking for a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS to schedule a free, no-obligation estimate.

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer is a Design Specialist for our Dr. Energy Saver® service. He visited the home to provide a thorough inspection and solution for the home. He designed a plan that included removing the old insulation and installing our full encapsulation system; first drainage matting, next crawlspace insulation, and finally, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier.

Foreman Zach Jorenby led the install of this crawl space encapsulation project. DBS Insulation Foreman Nick Woods II completed the spray foam portion of the crawl space. 

Homeowners Reduce Energy Use with New Attic Insulation in Minneapolis, MN

Homeowners in Minneapolis, MN wanted to increase their overall comfort and save energy. They knew their attic insulation wasn't efficient and called DBS to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. 

DBS Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home and provided an estimate for the attic re-insulation project. He designed a custom plan that involved removing the existing insulation, air sealing the attic, and adding new cellulose insulation. 

DBS Foreman Nick Woods II led the install of this attic insulation project. After removing the insulation, the crew applied closed-cell spray foam to the attic deck, sealing gaps, cracks, and holes. From there, they installed TruSoft cellulose. This lightweight, yet dense insulation is made from recycled newspapers and coated with a non-toxic formula that is resistant to pests and fire. 

After a successful attic insulation like this one, the homeowners should expect increased comfort and reduced energy bills.
