Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation and Waterproofing for Wet Crawl Space in Siren, WI

This homeowner in South Range, WI was experiencing uncomfortable conditions in their home for years. After meeting us at the Duluth Home Show, the decided to tackle their unsealed crawl space. Water was pooling in the space 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 bit of supplemental support to address some sinking, as well as CleanSpace® vapor barrier as well as sump pump in the space to tackle the water issues. DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg used our TerraBlock™ foam insulation to insulate the walls and rim joists, and finished the job by sealing everything in a layer of closed-cell spray foam. These two insulations will work together to keep moisture and cold air from penetrating the rest of the home. From there, Foreman Taylor Allen and his crew completed the crawl space encapsulation. The team installed 3 SmartJack® support beams to address the sinking ceiling. They then put down a drainage matting, followed by our ultra durable CleanSpace® vapor barrier, and a Triple Safe™ sump pump. This crawl space drainage system is specially designed for crawl spaces and was connected to two discharge lines that will carry the water up and out of the home.
