Home Insulation Before & After Photos

This Ely, MN homeowner had a basement space that was framed out but needed to be properly insulated. Uninsulated space underneath the main floor of the home can cause a host of issues, such as freezing pipes and uncomfortable living conditions. Looking for a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS.

A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate. After measuring energy loss in the basement, our expert recommended closed-cell spray foam to decrease heating and cooling costs. A DBS Foreman and their production crew applied 3-inches of spray foam along walls as well as the rim joists in the basement. 3-inches of our spray foam creates an R-value of 7 which is the recommended amount for our region. 

This home is overall more energy-efficient during all four seasons!

This Beaver Bay crawl space was vented which allowed the unconditioned air from the outdoors to freely enter under the home. In the winter these vents could be shut, but it was not providing an air tight seal necessary to block out the cold winter air. To fix this issue when we encapsulated the crawl space we filled the vent area with insulation and used spray foam insulation to seal the space and prevent air from leaking through. 

This home in Little Marais, MN was suffering from cold temperatures in the wintertime. Insufficient insulation was not providing what the home needed, so the homeowner turned to DBS for help. 

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer assisted this homeowner in a free, no-obligation estimate. After a careful inspection, it was decided that dense-pack insulation would be the best option. 

Foreman Nicholas Woods II led the installation of this project. The team drills hole on the outside of the home and blow the cellulose insulation into the sides of the home. This is an effective insulation strategy that will keep the home warm and livable. 

These homeowners can now relax in their healthy, warm homes.
