Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Holyoke, MN was never too concerned about the quality of his crawl space. Once he learned about the effects of a poor crawl space, he decided to do something about it. After doing some research, he found DBS and reached out to them to set up an appointment to have a system design specialist come evaluate his home. Following a brief friendly phone conversation with the office staff, an appointment was set to have DBS’ home comfort specialist make a trip out to the home for a free no obligation estimate. The specialist did a thorough inspection of the home and explained to the homeowner the best possible solution. First, the crawl space should be cleaned and the old insulation should be removed before the new installation could begin. To best insulate the space, SilverGlo™ high-performance graphite insulation should be installed on the crawl space walls. Then, each rim joist should be spray foamed throughout the entire crawl space which would further eliminate any cool drafts from entering the home. This top of the line solution would leave the homeowner with a clean, warm and dry crawl space. After the specialist and homeowner came to a comfortable price agreement, a date was set to have the production crew professionally complete the installation. This great solution left the home with a higher level of energy efficiency and a clean dry crawl space.

DBS received a call from a client in in Holyoke that needed their crawl space looked at for a foundation issue. We sent Design Specialist, Henrick Makitalo, to the home to see what the problem was. Henrik saw that the home needed our spray foam service in their crawl space around the walls of the home. This spray foam insulation in the crawl space, vents, and installation of a new crawl space door to correct the insulation and prevent cold air from coming up and into the house.

The before photo shows the crawl space before the poly foam insulation was added to the walls to keep the home warm, DBS also added a new crawl space door to keep the home warm.
