Before & After Photos

A Duluth homeowner had been dealing with severe and recurring ice dams each winter, prompting them to contact DBS for a permanent way to minimize these issues. The attic exhibited little to no insulation levels, hence the ice dams, and was completely inefficient and uncomfortable. Overseeing his crew in the insulation installation was Nick Woods, one of our foremen. The team started by strategically placing baffles to establish a continuous airflow and uphold proper venting. Then, a combination of closed-cell polyurethane and TruSoft cellulose blown-in foam was applied to the attic floor. To enhance energy efficiency, a layer of SilverGlo was incorporated along the attic deck, and the chimney was effectively wrapped. The process was finished by air-sealing and insulating the attic access point. With these insulation measures, along with the additional work undertaken, the homeowner can ensure that the home's ice dam issues will be significantly diminished.

This homeowner in Duluth, MN had concerns about ice dams and vermiculite being asbestos. With four kids and plans to reside in the home long-term, ensuring safety and structural integrity was paramount.

Our Appointment Center promptly set up a free, no obligation inspection with Design Specialist Heidi. During the inspection, vermiculite was found uncovered and signs of moisture spreading in the attic, with a back bedroom exhibiting discoloration on the ceiling. To address these issues, a hybrid system with baffles was recommended, coupled with preemptive measures like MoldX© treatment post-removal. Production team, led by Foreman Wade installed the system with baffles and MoldX©, ensuring a comprehensive solution for their home's well-being.

This homeowner in Lutsen, MN reached out to DBS with a crawl space project. The owner had noticed mold and mildew on the underside of her flooring and became concerned with the exposed dirt in the crawlspace. 

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer assisted this homeowner in a free no-obligation estimate. After inspection, it was decided that encapsulating the crawl space with SprayFoam insulation would be the most effective solution.

Foreman Nicholas Woods led this installation process, along with a partner. The crawl space had old, deteriorating insulation that was failing to help the home, so it was removed before the DBS installation. Using SprayFoam, the team encapsulated the area. SprayFoam insulation is very resistant to moisture and mold damage, making it the best option for this homes crawl space. 

Wit their new, dry, and warm crawlspace, this homeowner can now relax knowing their home is healthy.
