In Cook, MN, a homeowner struggled with a damp crawl space, noticing unsettling problems getting worse due to high humidity and structural issues. In the 'before' photo, you'd see signs like sagging beams, which weren't exactly lifting anyone's spirits. We came to the rescue with our know-how and tools like SmartJack, CleanSpace, SaniDry Sedona, TerraBlock, and SmartSump systems.

A crawl space in Cook MN was causing some serious problems for these homeowners. After seeing our advertisements on local television, they decided to contact us in search of a permanent solution to the problem. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the encapsulation work. It was determined that multiple types of insulation would be used, as well as CleanSpace® vapor barrier and drainage matting to completely protect the space from moisture.

DBS Foreman Kevin Steffey and his production team installed TerraBlock™, Rim Joist, and Spray Foam insulations, as well as a SmartSump™ sump pump to keep the space free from water. 

This crawl space is now completely sealed, regulating temperature, and moisture levels for the entire home. 

Folks with a family cabin in Cook, MN want to keep their favorite retreat in tip-top shape for years to come. The cabin's dirt crawl space was retaining moisture, harboring some mold, and affecting air quality. They reached out to DBS about our crawl space encapsulation service.

Design Specialist Jacob Nustad-Peluso is an expert in energy-saving solutions and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. Foreman Joe Harris and his production crew installed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier on top of drainage matting in the dirt crawl space. Because this space was so prone to water, our team also installed a TripleSafe™ sump pump as well as a new external drainage line. 

This cabin now has a permanent solution to protect their cabin against moisture build-up in the crawl space.

This dirt crawl space was causing the home to lose energy at an alarming rate, creating cold floors and an uncomfortable environment. When this area became humid it also led to musty smells in the home. The homeowner did not want his visitors to be met with these odors as they came in the door, so he took action to make a change. In order to solve these problems, our specialists assessed the situation and prescribed a solution to permanently fix the issues experienced. The solution in this situation was to use our Clean Space matting to encapsulate the crawl space. This was paired with our silver glow foam board insulation and spray foam insulation to properly air seal the crawl space and create a comfortably insulated home. 

This homeowner in Mountain Iron, MN was unhappy with the quality of insulation in the attic of their home. They wanted to improve this problem, so they reached out to DBS for help.

A DBS Design Specialist assisted the owner with a free, no-obligation estimate. After a close, in-person inspection, our SprayFoam and cellulose insulation solutions were recommended.

Foreman Nicholas Woods led the installation of this project with help from a crew. The crew began by removing the old insulation and debris. SprayFoam is then used as the first layer of insulation because it also acts as an air sealant and a moisture barrier. Cellulose insulation is then blown into the space creating a lasting and effective solution.

This homeowner was very happy with the results and can now relax in their healthy home.
