Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Duluth, 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.

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

Our production crew first removed debris and prepped the space by 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.

The homeowners now have peace of mind that their sealed crawl space will restore overall health to their home. 

Homeowners in Blaine, MN had lived in their home for 2 years when they realized there were issues in the crawl space. Plumbing issues and poor drainage caused water to collect and musty, moldy conditions ensued. Looking for an expert opinion on the best action for their home, they called DBS! 

Henry Jungbauer is a Design Specialist for the DBS Dr. Energy Saver service. As an expert in crawl spaces and attics, he was able to diagnose the home's issues.

This system will mitigate moisture and protect the home from cold conditions in the winter.

A building in Rice Lake, WI was experiencing issues with leaking water and it was worrying for the owner, due to the damages that can occur from this. In need of a solution, they reached out to DBS for assistance. After thorough inspection, it was concluded that the wall was the main concern for leaking water, and CleanSpace® wall poly would need to be installed. This is an ideal product for an efficient waterproofing system. Along with the CleanSpace®, the building also had WaterGuard® installed at the bottom of the wall to catch any unwanted water along the concrete flooring, as seen in the attached photo.
