Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

In Aurora, MN, a homeowner was dealing with sagging floors and seeking better air quality throughout their home. Our inspection pointed to the crawlspace as the source of these issues. As shown in the "before" photo, the problem was apparent. Our solution? Installing the SmartJack® system, an effective method for lifting and stabilizing floors, combined with a full crawlspace encapsulation. The "after" photo highlights the remarkable transformation—a sturdy, stabilized foundation that not only improves floor integrity but also enhances the overall air quality within the home.

New homeowners in Aurora, MN wanted to protect their home from the extreme temperature fluctuations in our region. Their vented crawl space allowed for outside air to enter their home, creating humid conditions in the summer and cold drafts in the winter. Interested in our crawl space encapsulation system, they contacted DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate.

Production Manager Steve Lafontaine visited the home and completed a thorough inspection of the dirt crawl space. He proposed our full encapsulation system for the space, as well as a crawl space sump pump to keep water up and out of the home. 

Our Dr. Energy Saver® Austin Sande Foreman led this crawl space encapsulation project. Our crew began by removing the existing plastic in the crawl space and prepping the dirt floor for sealing. From there, they installed our three-layer system: drainage matting to capture moisture, TerraBlock™ crawl space insulation, and our CleanSpace® vapor barrier to prevent any moisture from creating condensation and wet humid air in the space.

This home is guaranteed to see an improvement in year-round comfort with a DBS crawl space encapsulation system.

Homeowners of an 1890's home in Deer River, MN had a dirt crawl space that was prone to wetness. It had failing insulation causing temperature and humidity fluctuations in the rest of their home, as well as cold floors during winter months. To learn more about what steps were needed to seal their crawl space, they reached out to us about our Dr. Energy Saver services. 

A Design Specialist trained in energy-saving solutions, visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. It was recommended that a CleanSpace® vapor barrier be laid over drainage matting. These two products work together to direct water away from the crawl space into a new SuperSump® Premier Pump System. To further prevent moisture and the growth of mold, TerraBlock™ insulation and closed-cell spray foam were installed to fully seal and regulate temperature in the space. 

The DBS Foreman and production crew installed these products resulting in a great improvement of this home's overall health.
