Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

We insulated the walls of this Duluth, MN crawl space using our SilverGlo® rigid board insulation. You can see the original walls lacked air sealing and insulation, which needed immediate fixing. Just as a precautionary measure, we also added drainage matting to the floor should any water enter the crawl space. This matting will direct water to and through your drain pipes.

If they look anything like our rim joists did here at the office, you are spending unnecessary money to keep your house comfortable! This is the before and after of our crawlspace rim joists here in our office in Duluth, Mn. It has made a noticeable difference this summer! 

We fixed up the nasty crawlspace and encapsulated it with CleanSpace, making it bright and beautiful. 

Before diving into the comfort of their Duluth, MN home, one homeowner faced a daunting challenge: a crawl space that threatened their peace of mind. As evident in the before photo, this hidden area was in dire need of repair. Spotting the distress, we stepped in with a twofold solution – our CleanSpace® technology to seal and protect, paired with the SaniDry™ Sedona for unbeatable moisture control. Notice in the after photo how transformed the space is - secure, dry, and unrecognizable from its former self. We not only restored the foundation but also the homeowner's peace of mind, delivering on our promise of a superior customer experience and enduring results.

The new owners of this Duluth, MN home were experiencing issues with cold floors and were dreading high energy bills in the wintertime. They had only been living there for a few weeks when they decided to remove the faulty insulation and make a call to DBS in hopes of finding a more energy-efficient solution

Design Specialist Austin Burley visited the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the owners. After a thorough inspection, Austin recommended the 3-layer Crawl Space Encapsulation service offered by DBS.

Foreman Nick Woods led the installation of this project with the help of a crew. First, a layer of dimpled drainage matting was laid down to aid the flow of water. A layer of TerraBlock™ insulation was installed over the matting to block cold air from leaking up into the crawl space from the ground. The previous two layers were sealed with a layer of CleanSpace® to complete the encapsulation process and waterproof the space. The vertical walls in the crawl space were covered with SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation to prevent frost build-up. Finally, they air-sealed the remaining leak points in the crawl space with ZypFoam™ to prevent air from escaping to the first level as well as air entering from outside. 

Now that the installation of the 3-layer crawl space encapsulation system is complete, the owners will experience warmer floors and lower energy bills without ever needing to replace any doors or windows!
