Waterproof Polyurethane Spray Foam Installed Over Rim Joists to Solve Cold Basement Issue in Cloquet, MN Home

The owners of this home in Cloquet, MN had issues with mold in their attic. They wanted a solution to properly air-seal their attic for energy efficiency so they reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist Austin Burley conducted a free no-obligation estimate for the owners. After a thorough inspection, Austin recommended that the owners consider installing insulation products offered by DBS to promote a healthier space.

Foreman Nick Woods II led the installation of this project with help from a team. Together they stripped the attic of the old fiber-glass batting insulation that had crumbled from water damage over the years. After removing all of the old insulation, they sealed all of the air leaks in the attic with a waterproof polyurethane spray foam. Then 17 inches of Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation was blown into the attic. Cellulose insulation is a more energy-efficient alternative to fiber-glass insulation. It is made from recycled material treated with a borate solution to repel pests and acts as a fire-retardant.

Now that the home has been properly insulated, the owners will experience a warmer climate in their living spaces. Proper insulation helps retain heat in the right areas of your home and will decrease energy bills without having to replace any doors or windows!
