DBS Before & After Photos

This Trego, WI homeowner was having issues with the existing insulation in their home. They wanted to create more comfortable conditions in their home year-round, as well as save on energy bills. 

Our Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist Jacob Nustad-Peluso went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the insulation project. After inspecting the property and conducting an energy audit, it was determined that spray foam insulation and blown-in insulation in the attic were necessary to effectively insulate the space.

DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg begain this insulation job by removing the existing fiberglass batting. His crew then completely air sealed the space with ZypFoam, concentrating on gaps in the building material and spaces surrounding the attic ducts. 

From there, they applied 1 inch of spray foam to the roof deck. They then used our TruSoft™ cellulose, covering the roof deck in 18-inches of soft, yet dense insulation. TruSoft™ has a higher R-value than fiberglass and other cellulose materials, perfect for use in our northern climate. Tru-Soft™ cellulose is extra dense and made from recycled news paper. It's treated to be extremely resistant to heat and fire, making it a great companion for an attic space. 

This home is now properly equipped to handle warm Wisconsin summers and freezing winters with new attic insulation.

A homeowner from Trego, WI reached out to DBS looking for help with their bouncy floors. One of our Design Specialists provided the homeowner with a free no-obligation estimate after a thorough inspection of the foundation. One of our crews installed our SmartJack® basement jacks to provide permanent stability to the home, eliminating bouncy floor problems for the homeowner.

In Trego, WI, a homeowner grew increasingly concerned that their garage—used for bunk beds and storage—was slowly sinking into a sandy hillside. The concrete floor had noticeably settled, posing safety risks and structural concerns. Our team at DBS Repair addressed the issue by injecting our PolyLevel® system beneath the slabs to lift and stabilize the floor. To finish the job, we applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant to close cracks and protect against future water intrusion and soil washout. The result? A secure, level garage floor and peace of mind for the homeowner.

This customer called in because of his poorly built foundation, which was causing his basement to leak. A lot of times wet basements come from cracks in the foundation. If you notice any water coming in through cracks or any other way into your basement, you need interior waterproofing like this customer did. 

The attic of this home had only eight inches of insulation installed which was inadequate to maintain the heat that was created inside the home. On top of this, the attic hatch was not properly insulated and was allowing conditioned air from inside the home to enter the attic and escape the home. Our specialist informed this homeowner of the benefits of blow-in insulation at specific depths. The homeowner decided on the depth of blow-in insulation that they were comfortable with and our production crew set out to make their dream a reality. From the photos it looks like this area of the attic was filled with an average of around 20 inches of insulation. This insulation provides a much better barrier between the cold attic and the living space below. With the addition of rigid foam board insulation installed over the hatch this attic is much more insulated and air sealed from the home below.
