Insulation and Waterproofing to Control Mold and Moisture in Deer River, MN
This 1960's cabin in Deer River, MN had issues stemming from the structure's crawl space. It was prone to moisture and mold, causing odors in the rest of the cabin. They also had issues with pests living in the space. The owners recently purchased the property but noticed these problems immediately. In search of a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS.
DBS Sales Manager Royce Bunn was the Design Specialist for this project. He did a thorough inspection and crafted a proposal to totally encapsulate the space. First, our CleanSpace® high-performance moisture barrier was laid down on the dirt floor. A DBS Foreman and crew also installed a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier, connecting it to a SmartDrain®. From there, our crew installed both TerraBlock™ and Spray Foam insulation to completely seal the space.
