Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Ely, MN reached out to DBS for help with their damp crawl space. One of our Design Specialists went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate appointment. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist gave the homeowner a free quote for our Crawl Space Encapsulation Service. One of our crews installed our crawl space products to thoroughly waterproof and insulate the space, giving peace of mind to the homeowner. 

The owners of this 1980s Ely, MN home experienced issues with sagging floors and freezing pipes because of their crawl space. After viewing an insulation ad for DBS on a local television station, the owner reached out in hopes of finding a solution. 

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, Henry informed the owners about DBS systems that would solve their problems.

Foreman Nick Woods II led the installation for this project with help from a crew. Together they installed SmartJack®supports to level the sagging floors and encapsulated the crawl space for better energy efficiency. In the crawl space, they laid down a water vapor barrier to waterproof the space. Then the crew air-sealed the crawl space with a waterproof polyurethane spray foam to thoroughly insulate the area. 

Now that the issues in the crawl space have been corrected, the owners can relax comfortably in their home without worrying about high energy bills or floors caving in.

The owners of this cabin in Ely, MN experienced issues with mold damage. There was a musty smell throughout the home and the owners replaced their flooring thinking that was the root of the issue. In hopes of finding a solution, they reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer went to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowners. After a thorough inspection, Henry educated the owners on the 3-layer Crawl Space Encapsulation service offered by DBS.

Nick Woods II led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they cleaned out the old falling insulation and laid down a layer of drainage matting to assist the flow of water underneath the insulation. Panels of TerraBlock™ insulation were installed over the drainage matting to help with the conservation of heat in the winter and cool air in the summer. The last layer in the 3-step encapsulation process is installing a vapor barrier made of a thick, white poly material called CleanSpace®. The vertical walls in the crawl space were sprayed with a waterproof polyurethane spray foam to air-seal the space. 

The owners should notice that their cabin is much warmer in the wintertime and that the mysterious musty smell has been resolved. They will be much happier spending time in their cabin knowing that their space is promoting a healthy and more comfortable environment.

The crawl space of this cabin in Ely, MN was experiencing lots of ice dams in the winter as the snow melted off the front side. They decided to call DBS in hopes of finding an energy-efficient solution.

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer went to the cabin to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, Henry determined that their crawlspace was retaining a lot of heat that should have been blown into the living spaces of the home. He recommended that the owners consider spray foam insulation to solve their problem.

Foreman Nick Woods II led the installation of this project with a team. Together they cleared the old insulation from the concrete block foundation and layered the vertical walls with waterproof polyurethane spray foam. The spray foam will provide insulation for the crawl space as it expands as it is installed completely air-sealing the space.

Henry recommended that the homeowners eventually have insulation dense-packed into their roofing to keep even more heat inside of the cabin, but with the crawlspace insulation, they will notice how much warmer it is already. Now the owners will be more comfortable in their cabin for longer periods during the year.
