Home Insulation Before & After Photos

International Falls, MN is almost as far north as you can get in Minnesota; so it's COLD! These homeowners reached out to DBS for help with making their home more energy efficient to curb high heating costs in the winter.

A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the property and conducting an energy audit it was determined that closed cell spray foam, combined with highly dense cellulose would offer the best solution for the temperature regulation problem.

This home is now has insulation with high R-value keeping their space healthy, safe, and comfortable! 

This homeowner in International Falls, MN was having problems with ice dams forming on their house. She wanted this resolved in order to create a healthier home, so she worked with DBS to find the perfect solution.

Design Specialist Austin Burley conducted a free no-obligation estimate for this project. After inspection, Austin recommended insulating the attic space of the home with Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation. 

Foreman Raeshawn Pelfrey led the team in this installation. The team started by removing what was left over of the old batt insulation for the homeowner. They then used Tru-Soft™ blown cellulose insulation to cover the entirety of the attic space. This insulation is dense and effective at keeping unwanted air out of these enclosed spaces.  Now that the attic is more effectively insulation, it will stay warmer in the cold months and stay cool in the hot months. 

This homeowner can now relax more comfortably in their home, all year round, without worrying about ice dams creating problems for their home.

The owner of this cabin in Stone Lake, WI was unable to use it during winter because of improper insulation. Looking for an energy-efficient solution, they reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist Austin Burley went to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, Austin let the cabin owners know about the insulation solutions offered by DBS. He advised them that they would benefit from having both the attic and crawl space properly insulated.

Foreman Raeshawn Pelfrey led the installation of the crawl space encapsulation on the cabin. With the help of a crew, they removed all of the faulty insulation from underneath the structure. First, a layer of dimpled drainage matting was laid over the ground in the crawl space. Next, panels of TerraBlock™ foam insulation were installed over the drainage matting to prevent frost. Finally, CleanSpace®, a thick white poly vapor barrier, was installed to complete the encapsulation of the crawl space. The crew also sprayed waterproof polyurethane foam to air-seal the walls of the foundation ensuring the space is as energy-efficient as possible.

 Now that the home has been thoroughly insulated, the cabin owners will be able to comfortably use their cabin all year long.

The owner of this cabin in Stone Lake, WI was having issues keeping it warm in the wintertime. They were unable to use the cabin in the winter and looking for a solution, they reached out to DBS.

Foreman Nicholas Woods II led the installation for this project with help from a crew. Together they encapsulated the crawlspace with 3 layers of insulation. The first layer installed was drainage matting to assist the flow of water. On top of the matting, panels of TerraBlock™ foam insulation were installed to protect the space against frost. Finally, a layer of CleanSpace® was applied to complete the encapsulation process. In the attic, the crew removed all of the old batting insulation and sprayed polyurethane foam inside the knee walls of the attic to complete the air sealing process. They also blew in 17 inches of Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation to properly insulate the attic floor.
