Flooding and Cold Air in Two Harbors, MN Home Fixed with Encapsulation

These homeowners in Two Harbors, MN were experiencing multiple problems in their home's crawl space. Moisture was creating a musty smell, animals were getting in, and the space was cold, which in turn caused the home to be cold as well. They needed a professional and permanent solution, so they trusted DBS with the project.

Design Specialist Zach Guilliams assisted the homeowners in a free, no-obligation estimate in order to find the perfect solution for their home. After a careful inspection, Zach suggested the homeowners encapsulate their crawl space to diminish the issues they were experiencing.

Foreman Raeshawn Pelfrey led the installation of this project along with a team. The team started by installing draining matting to help standing pools of the water drain out effectively. This was accompanied by our SmartDrain® System that will remove the water from the crawl space. The team then installed CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier to create a dry, clean finish. SprayFoam insulation will also be installed on the walls in order to keep the space warm and provide an extra moisture barrier.

Once the crew installs the SprayFoam insulation on the walls, this crawl space will be in pristine condition for the homeowners.
