Crawl Space Encapsulation Service by DBS Helps Mitigate Radon, Pests, and Cold Flooring

The owner of this home in Fridley, MN had a recommendation to encapsulate their crawlspace to mitigate radon radiation and help warm the living space floors. They also had issues with pests. Looking for a solution, they reached out to DBS.

A Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, the Design Specialist generated a free quote for our Crawlspace Encapsulation Service.

A DBS Foreman led the installation on this project with assistance from a crew. Together they first installed a layer of dimpled drainage matting to help regulate water flow underneath the layers of material. Next, they laid down panels of TerraBlock™ foam insulation for blocking frost. Finally, they sealed the space with CleanSpace® water vapor barrier. To finish the project, the crew sprayed closed-cell polyurethane spray foam insulation on the vertical walls of the crawlspace.

Now that the crawlspace has been properly encapsulated, the homeowner will be able to relax more comfortably in their warm, healthy home.
