A DBS Design Specialist visited the home and conducted a free, no-obligation estimate in order to find the perfect solutions for this home's needs. After a careful inspection, the Design Specialist provided a quote and recommended encapsulation, just as the owner was wanting!

Foreman Evan LaFontaine led the installation of this project, along with a team.

The barrier will keep the space dry and clean, making it the perfect storage area. Finally, the team used SprayFoam to insulate the space and air seal any unwanted cracks and holes.

The owners of this home in Superior, WI experienced issues with cold floors and a drafty home due to improper insulation of their crawl space. They reached out to DBS after seeing an ad for crawl space insulation while perusing the newspaper. 

Design Specialist Henry Junbauer went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. A thorough inspection led Henry to conclude that properly insulating the crawl space walls would provide the homeowners with a more comfortable home and cheaper energy bills.
