Home Insulation Before & After Photos

This Luck, WI home had been in the family for generations. They were a few structural issues in the dirt crawl space that were causing concern, namely some shifting support beams as well as wet conditions in the space. Wanting to protect the home as much as possible against moisture and fluctuating weather year-round, they reached out to DBS about our crawl space encapsulation and support service.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo is an expert in energy-saving solutions and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. Foreman Zach Jorenby lead installation of 6 SmartJack® supports to raise the sinking home supports.  Nick Woods II and his production crew installed closed-cell spray foam to better regulate temperature in the space. 

The homeowner was happy with the work done, and now has a solid solution to protect their home against foundation shifting and low winter time temperatures.

This cabin in Canyon, MN was only used during the summer months. The owners were planning to transition to living there year-round, but knew they would need to winterize the cabin. Looking for a permanent solution to make their home more comfortable year-round, they reached out to DBS for a permanent solution.

Our Service Manager Jacob Nustad-Peluso was the Design Specialist for this project. He visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate, inspecting the cabin's attic and crawl space. After inspecting the property and conducting an energy audit, it was determined that air sealing and blown-in insulation were necessary to effectively winterize the cabin.

DBS Foreman Nick Woods II and his crew performed the work crawl space air sealing and installed attic insulation. Our production crew first removed the existing fiberglass insulation and sealed the gaps in building material and spaces surrounding the attic ducts with a layer of closed-cell spray foam. From there, they blew-in a heavy layer of our TruSoft™ cellulose into the space. TruSoft™ has a higher R-value than fiberglass and other cellulose materials and will work wonders to protect the space. 

For the crawl space, our team removed debris, and applied a MoldX2 Botanical™ to the moldy wooden support beams. From there, they used SilverGlo™ insulation on the crawl space foundation walls, and spray foam to seal the rim joists.

Sealing and insulating the crawl space and attic was key to prevent warm air from escaping the home, and improves the overall energy-efficiency and health of the space. 

This International Falls home was built in the early 2000s. Although the crawl space was fit with fiberglass batting, it wasn't enough to prevent the sump pump and pipes from freezing during the winter months.

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to provide a thorough inspection of the crawl space. He provided a free estimate for a new insulation plan including our closed-cell spray foam. The homeowners decided to move forward with the plan and our Dr. Energy Saver Team got to work!

Nick Woods II and his crew began by removing the existing fiberglass batting. From there, they applied closed cell spray foam to the vertical crawl space walls. Our foam insulation expands as it's applied, air sealing and insulating. 

The homeowners were happy with the work done and now have an insulated crawl space to protect their home from cold winter temperatures. 

The owner of this home in Kettle River, MN noticed issues extending from their sagging crawl space so they reached out to DBS looking for a solution.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Henrik generated a quote for our SmartJack® System.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 11  SmartJack® supports and the main steel beam to provide permanent stabilization to the home.

Now that the home has been properly stabilized, the homeowner can relax more comfortably in their safe environment.

Homeowners in Virginia built this new garage on their property that they were in the process of finishing. In order to enjoy that space year-round, they knew they needed a permanent solution to keep it comfortable.

Our Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the insulation work. Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew installed 3 inches of closed-cell spray foam to seal and insulate the structure. Spray foam expands after its applied, reaching tight spaces and filling gaps where air could escape.

Both the garage level and room above it are now completely sealed and insulated. These homeowners can now enjoy a comfortable garage space year-round!
