DBS Before & After Photos

Before our team arrived in Hurley, WI, the homeowner struggled with chilly interior spaces, largely due to under-insulated crawl spaces—a common issue in colder climates. Rather than opting for a temporary fix, they chose a comprehensive solution to fully address the problem. As shown in our photos, we revitalized their cold, uninviting crawl space by installing Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation. We tackled every area, from the challenging rim joists to the expansive spaces in need of dense insulation. Our expertise not only enhanced their home’s comfort but also promised lasting energy efficiency and warmth. The transformation led to a cozier, more energy-efficient home, perfectly reflecting our commitment to providing remarkable and reliable improvements for living spaces.

This home in Mercer, WI was first built in 1907. After owning this property since the 1990's, they've always noticed significant inssues with temperature and humidity levels i nthe home. After recently seeing mice in the home's crawl space, they homeowner reached out to us about our Dr. Energy Saver® service for crawl space encapsulation. 

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his prodution crew place a drainage layer and vapor barrier in the crawl space. This will prevent moisture as well as pests from entering the home via the crawl space.

Keeping your crawl space dry can also significantly reduce long-term damage to the wooden building material supporting the structure. From there, they applied closed-cell spray foam insulation to the rim joists where the crawl space was releasing cold air into the main level of the home. 

The owner was happy with the work done, and how it resulted in a great improvement of this home's overall health. 

In Mercer, WI, a homeowner aimed to transform their cabin into a year-round retreat, requiring a dry basement for storage. As shown in the initial photos, leakage was a significant obstacle. We addressed this by implementing our WaterGuard® drainage system and SingleSafe™ Sump Pump, visible in later images. For added protection, we utilized IceGuard® to manage any freezing issues. To ensure structural integrity, we installed the PowerBrace™ and SmartJack® systems. This comprehensive solution ensures durability and reliability throughout the year.

The owner of this 1907 home in Mercer, WI reached out to us looking for an insulation solution for their crawl space. They also wanted a way to keep rodents out from underneath their home as well.

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer went out to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate appointment for the homeowner. After taking several measurements and photos, Henry created a quote for our Crawl Space Encapsulation service.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed drainage matting along the ground to help the flow of water, then they installed TerraBlock® foam frost barrier panels and a layer of CleanSpace® water vapor barrier to complete the 3-layer process. The crew also sprayed polyurethane insulation along the vertical walls in the crawl space to air-seal the space.

Now that the crawl space has been thoroughly insulated, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.
