DBS Foreman Kevin Steffey and his production crew cleaned and prepped the space before installing CleanSpace® waterproofing material in the crawlspace, along with 8 PowerBraces™.  The job was completed with spray foam insulation around the crawl space perimeter by Foreman Jason Foster and his crew.

This family can now enjoy their properly supported and insulated cabin for many years to come!

These homeowners in Ely, MN reached out to DBS for help encapsulating their crawl space. They had uncontrolled moisture in the space which turned into mold. Heat loss and outdoor air entering the crawl space carried musty odors throughout the entire home. 

Design Specialist, Hunter Riley went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Hunter determined that a complete waterproofing solution was needed for moisture control.

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.
