Musty, Cold Crawl Space in Duluth, MN Solved with SprayFoam Insulation

These homeowners in Duluth, MN noticed a musty smell coming from their crawl space, as well as cold floors in the winter months. They wanted to address these problems, so they trusted DBS with their home's needs.

Design Specialist Austin Burley assisted the homeowners with a free, no-obligation estimate in order to find the right solution for their homes. After a careful inspection, Austin provided a quote and recommended using SprayFoam to insulate their crawl space. 

Foreman Evan LaFontaine led the installation of this project along with a team. Together, the team used Dr. Energy Saver's SprayFoam to insulate the area. SprayFoam is a very efficient insulator and is able to air seal any holes or cracks that are allowing unwanted airflow in or out of the space. It is also moisture resistant, making sure the space will stay dry and free of the musty smell. Finally, the team installed the CleanSpace® vapor barrier on the floor of the crawl space to transform it into a clean, dry storage area for the homeowners.

These homeowners can now enjoy their home year-round and do not have to worry about moisture causing problems.
