These homeowners in Eveleth, MN reached out to DBS for help insulating the piping system in their home. During the winter multiple pipes were freezing which resulted in water damage and stress for the homeowner. They wanted a permanent home performance solution when they reached out to DBS.
A DBS Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home and performing infrared heat measuring tests it was concluded that the walls did not have proper insulation. DBS has a solution called dense-packed insulation which does not require drywall removal and dramatically increases the efficiency of the home. Small 1-inch ports are cut into the home and Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation is applied inside the walls. After the insulation is installed the holes are covered with siding and are completely hidden! This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew.
This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable with safe pipes all year round!
Homeowners of this 1980's home in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for help removing unwanted water from their basement. Water was consistently coming in through the basement foundation after rains.
A DBS Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home, we recommended installing CleanSpace®, a vapor barrier that will direct water into a a new WaterGuard® drainage system. This two products will lead water to the home's existing sump pump and out of the home.
A DBS Foreman and production crew successfully installed these products along the perimeter of the basement, creating a dry and comfortable home to put this homeowner at ease!
A homeowner in Duluth, MN had a dirt crawl space that was prone to wetness. It had failing insulation causing temperature and humidity fluctuations in the rest of their home. To learn more about what steps were needed to seal their crawl space, they reached out to us about our Dr. Energy Saver services.
A Design Specialist trained in energy-saving solutions, visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. It was recommended that a CleanSpace® vapor barrier be laid over drainage matting. These two products work together to direct water away from the crawl space, preventing moisture and the growth of mold. Additionally, TerraBlock™ insulation and closed-cell spray foam were suggested to fully seal and regulate temperature in the space.
The DBS Foreman and production crew installed these products resulting in a great improvement of this home's overall health.
