Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Two Harbors, MN had been experiencing uncomfortable conditions in their home for years. An unsealed crawl space beneath the home was pooling with water, causing humid air to enter the home in the summer months and cold air during winter months. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for a total crawl space encapsulation. After the inspection, he recommended a CleanSpace® vapor barrier as well as sump pump in the space.

DBS Production Manager Kevin Steffey was the foreman on the job. He and his production crew excavated a layer of soil in the crawl space before installing our encapsulation system. This consisted of drainage matting, CleanSpace® vapor barrier, and a SmartSump™ sump pump. This crawl space drainage system is specially designed for crawl spaces. It has a lower profile than other pump packages, making installation in tight quarters easier.

A homeowner in Two Harbors, MN was experiencing water leakage within the basement of their home. The only defense against this was an od sump pump installed in the pit, but it was not enough to hold back the unwanted water. After reaching out to DBS, a Design SPecialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the waterproofing improvement. It was decided that the basement would need anew sump pump, as wel as CleanSpace® and WaterGuard® installed to provide maximum efficiency. The results turned out great, and the homeowner can now be more comfortable with their improved basement system. 

A homeowner in Two Harbors, MN reached out to DBS regarding the crawl space of their home. Crawl spaces with exposed earth are prone to fluctuating humidity, creating moisture and mold issues. This was concerning for the owner, as it can cause damage to the home and foundation as well as raise health issues. 

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the crawl space encapsulation service. It was determined that the crawl space would need to have CleanSpace® installed to act as a vapor barrier for the area. The DBS Foreman and crew laid the vapor barrier throughout the space to prevent any further moisture issues.

These homeowners in Two Harbors, MN were experiencing multiple problems in their home's crawl space. Moisture was creating a musty smell, animals were getting in, and the space was cold, which in turn caused the home to be cold as well.

Design Specialist Zach Guilliams assisted the homeowners in a free, no-obligation estimate in order to find the perfect solution for their home. After a careful inspection, Zach suggested the homeowners encapsulate their crawl space to diminish the issues they were experiencing.

Foreman Raeshawn Pelfrey led the installation of this project along with a team. The team started by installing draining matting to help standing pools of the water drain out effectively. This was accompanied by our SmartDrain® System that will remove the water from the crawl space. The team then installed CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier to create a dry, clean finish. SprayFoam insulation will also be installed on the walls in order to keep the space warm and provide an extra moisture barrier.

Once the crew installs the SprayFoam insulation on the walls, this crawl space will be in pristine condition for the homeowners.
