Home Insulation Before & After Photos

This Duluth, MN home had issues with holding a comfortable temperature during the winter months. The warm air that was escaping the attic was creating ice damming issues that the homeowner considered a big issue. Looking for a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS about our energy saving services.

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 proper air sealing and rigid foam insulation were necessary to effectively seal the space.

DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his crew first sealed the gaps in building material and spaces surrounding the attic ducts with ZypFoam™. They then laid down TerraBlock™, our foam insulation that is infused with graphite for a higher R-value. 

Sealing the attic was key to prevent warm air from escaping the home, and improving the overall energy health of the space. 

This Holyoke, MN home was built in the year 2000. They contacted us specifically looking for solutions to preventing ice dams in their home.  

Our Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer 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 spray foam insulation and blown-in insulation in the attic were necessary to effectively insulate the space.

DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg begain this insulation job by removing 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. 

From there, they applied 1 inch of spray foam to the roof deck. 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 news paper. 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.

These homeowners in Esko, MN reached out to DBS for help insulating their attic. They installed air ducts but they were not properly sealed and as a result, this attic was leaking energy. 

Design Specialist, Hunter Riley went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Closed-cell spray foam was recommended to seal off rim joists, air ducts, and insulate the roof deck. Foreman Jason Foster and his production crew worked hard and installed the insulation. 

This home is now more healthy, safe, and more energy-efficient!

This Duluth, MN homeowner was tired of rising heating bills in the wintertime. Not to mention the attic had issues with mice, making conditions uncomfortable for the homeowner. Via an employee referral, this homeowner decided to contact DBS for a solution to this issue. 

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited this home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate. Upon inspection, Rich found a few areas where the home was losing heat. One of the main areas that needed to be addressed was the attic insulation, as it was old and lacking the proper depth to achieve the desired R-value.

A DBS production crew removed the existing attic insulation and applied blown-in insulation to the proper depth for a strong R-value standard.
