Home Insulation Before & After Photos

This Duluth, MN home was drafty during winter months. The lack of insulation in the walls was causing pipes to freeze on the first level of their home. They contacted us specifically looking for solutions to make their home more efficient and reduce heating and cooling costs year-round.

Our Service Manager Jacod Nustad-Peluso went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the insulation project. After inspecting the property and conducting an energy audit, it was determined that blown-in insulation would be installed in the attic and the first floor walls.

DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg began this insulation job by removing some of the existing fiberglass batting. His crew then completely air sealed the space with ZypFoam, concentrating on gaps in the building material and spaces surrounding the attic ducts. 

They then used our TruSoft™ cellulose, covering the roof deck in 18-inches of soft, yet dense insulation. TruSoft™ has a higher R-value than fiberglass and other cellulose materials, perfect for use in our northern climate. Tru-Soft™ cellulose is extra dense and made from recycled newspaper. It's treated to be extremely resistant to heat and fire, making it a great companion for an attic space. 

This home is now properly equipped to handle warm Minnesota summers and freezing winters with new attic insulation.

Foreman Nicholas Woods II led a team in the installation of this project. Together, the team began by removing old batting insulation to expose cracks and holes in the home. They then used SprayFoam to air seal these areas and then added a thick, extra layer of SprayFoam to insulate and create a moisture barrier. Finally,  Cellulose insulation was blown in to the place to create an effective final insulation layer.
