Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Hermantown, MN was facing problems with ice dams forming and mold growing in the attic. The old batting insulation was no longer working, so wanting a permanent fix, the homeowner trusted DBS to find the perfect solution.

Design Specialist Austin Burley assisted this homeowner in a free, no-obligation estimate to find the most effective solution for their home. After careful inspection it was decided that both Dr. Energy Saver SprayFoam and TruSoft™ cellulose insulation would be the best option.

Foreman Nicholas Woods II lead a team in the installation of this project. Together, the team began the insulation process by removing the old insulation and air sealing any cracks that were leading to air leaks in the space. After air sealing, SprayFoam insulation was used to create a moisture resistant barrier and to avoid air seepage. Finally, TruSoft™ cellulose insulation was placed as a final layer to ensure complete and effective insulation of the attic.

This homeowner can now relax in the happy, healthy, and warm home.

A DBS Design Specialist went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowners. The Design Specialist recommended the insulation solutions provided by DBS. 

Foreman Nick Woods II led the installation of this project. With help from a crew, they covered the ground and walls in the crawl space with a layer of CleanSpace®. CleanSpace® is a thick white poly sheet vapor barrier to prevent moisture from reaching the inside. Then the crew air-sealed the space with a polyurethane spray foam to ensure no hot air in the summer or cold air in the winter could find its way in.
