Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Faced with a musty aroma taking over their cozy cabin in Remer, MN, this homeowner turned to DBS for help. The before photo captures the crawlspace of the cabin, where the musty smell became an unwelcome guest. As you can see in the photo, we introduced a breath of fresh air with our CleanSpace technology and SilverGlow insulation. Together, these solutions not only banished the mustiness but also paved the way for a rejuvenated and efficiently insulated crawl space. 

A homeowner from Palisade, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their cold crawl space. One of our Design Specialists provided the homeowner with a free no-obligation estimate for our spray foam insulation service. One of our crews installed our polyurethane spray foam along the walls of the crawl space to keep it warmer in the winter. Now the homeowner can relax with peace of mind

The owner of this cabin in Palisade, MN decided to reach out to DBS after seeing an ad online for our Crawl Space Encapsulation Service.

Design Specialist Austin Burley went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Austin provided education on our Crawl Space Encapsulation Service to our customer and generated a free quote customized to their cabin's needs.

Foreman Evan LaFontaine led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed dimpled drainage matting to assist water flow in the crawl space. On top of that, they installed panels of TerraBlock™ insulation to provide a proper frost barrier and finished the encapsulation process by installing CleanSpace® water vapor barrier. To finish the insulation aspect of the project, the crew sprayed the vertical walls with our closed-cell polyurethane spray foam insulation.

Now that the crawl space has been properly insulated and waterproofed, the cabin owner will be able to enjoy warmer living spaces without having to pay higher heating bills!

This family cabin in Palisade, MN was recently purchased. In order to make it a space for the whole family to enjoy, the new owners would like to expand the floorplan. Because the cabin has some issues with settling, they would like to level and support the structure before adding on.

DBS Design Specialist James Miller visited the home for a free, no-obligation estimate. After diagnosing the structural issues, James created a plan using our SmartJack and helical pier system. 

DBS Foreman Trevor Ingle and his crew completed this stabilization project. 6 SmartJack® adjustable beams were installed beneath the cabin to support the floor joists in the crawl space. To raise and level the cabin foundation, our crew drove 12 helical piers into the ground around the perimeter. Once these piers reach stable soil, the weight of the cabin is transferred to the strata layer far beneath the ground's surface. 

This cabin is now structurally sound and the family can move on with their plans to expand and renovate this Northwoods retreat!

Before relocating to McGrath, MN, a concerned homeowner reached out to us about the excessive moisture in their crawl space, fearing it would worsen over time. As shown in the "before" photo, the space clearly required professional intervention. By installing our SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier and sealing the area with CleanSpace® liner and DoubleSafe™, as seen in the "after" photo, we converted the moisture-prone area into a dry, efficient space. This solution not only addressed the immediate concern but also provided long-term protection, ensuring the home’s health and comfort. Our dedication to exceptional customer service was evident in both the problem-solving and the lasting peace of mind we delivered.
