Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

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.

Introducing a SaniDry™ Sedona for dry, clean air and utilizing TerraBlock™ and CleanSpace® technologies, we successfully transformed a troublesome area into a comfortable foundation, all while preserving the home's structural integrity, especially crucial near delicate bathroom tile work. Clearly, the outcome demonstrates a significant improvement in living conditions, highlighting our commitment to delivering reliable, lasting solutions with exceptional customer care.

Homeowners in International Falls, MN were have issues with their foundation. This was leading to a host of moisture issues in the basement. While our team was installing a wall support system, they also waterproofed the exterior of the home. 

Our Commercial Representative Casey Healy was the foreman on this project. He and his production crew had to excavate soil on the outside of the home to correct the bowing walls. Once that was achieved, our team applied SentrySeal® to the foundation wall as well as SilverGlo™ insulation. These two products will work together to insulate and protect the home from excess moisture.
