Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Duluth, MN was experiencing energy inefficiency due to a poorly insulated attic and unsealed rim joists. The garage ceiling was also lacking insulation, allowing cold air to creep in. Our team sealed the rim joists to prevent air leaks and installed TruSoft™ cellulose insulation throughout the attic for improved coverage. SilverGlo™ rigid foam panels were added to enhance thermal resistance and reflect heat back into the space. The result? A more comfortable, energy-efficient home ready for Minnesota’s changing seasons.

A DBS Foreman led the installation on this project with assistance from a crew. Together they first installed a layer of dimpled drainage matting to help regulate water flow underneath the layers of material. Next, they laid down panels of TerraBlock™ foam insulation for blocking frost. Finally, they sealed the space with CleanSpace® water vapor barrier. To finish the project, the crew sprayed closed-cell polyurethane spray foam insulation on the vertical walls of the crawlspace.

Now that the crawlspace has been properly encapsulated, the homeowner will be able to relax more comfortably in their warm, healthy home.
