Before & After Photos

This homeowner contacted DBS to address ice dams and prevent further damage to their house in the future. When our Design Specialist went out to the property, they inspected the attic and recommended a hybrid system for living areas because the heat was irregular.

When our production crew went out to the property, they installed our Dr. Energy Saver insulation system in the attic - spray foam and TruSoft™ cellulose.

A homeowner from Princeton, MN reached out to DBS looking 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 provided the homeowner with a free quote for our Crawl Space Waterproofing Service. One of our crews installed our waterproofing products in the crawl space to thoroughly waterproof the area and give peace of mind for the homeowner.

Moisture issues were plaguing this crawl space in Anoka, MN. Tired of living with the musty smells throughout the home, the owner contacted DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate of encapsulating the space.

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo came up with a solution that would take care of the musty smells and even make the whole house warmer. Our crawl space encapsulation system seals and insulates with 3 layers of moisture and mold-resistant materials. 

Tyler Nacey led a crew to encapsulate the crawl space. They began by installing drainage matting against the dirt crawl space floor. From there, our TerraBlock™ crawl space insulation was installed, creating a radiant barrier. The last layer is CleanSpace®, a thick poly sheet that will prevent moisture and musty odors from developing and traveling through the rest of the home. 

A homeowner from Rosemount, MN reached out to DBS looking 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 free no-obligation estimate, our Design Specialist provided the homeowner with a free quote for our Crawl Space Encapsulation Service. Now the homeowner can relax with peace of mind!

This cabin in Hackensack, MN was struggling with its foundation. The shoreline is beginning to recede and as result, the foundation was sinking into the soil. Looking for a permanent stabilization solution to keep the lake home in the family, the owner reached out to DBS. 

Design Specialist James Miller went out to the cabin to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, James advised the owners that DBS had a stabilization solution called the SmartJack®System that would support the cabin. He also recommended DBS Crawl Space Encapsulation services to waterproof the area.

Foreman Evan LaFontaine led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they installed 3 SmartJack® supports and encapsulated the crawlspace in 3 layers. The first layer installed was a dimpled drainage matting to assist the flow of water beneath the insulation. Then they installed panels of TerraBlock™ foam insulation to protect the crawl space from frost. The last step in the encapsulation process was encasing the area in a layer of CleanSpace® water vapor barrier.

Now that the crawlspace has been permanently stabilized and encapsulated, the cabin owner will be able to get much more use out of their lake home retreat all year round without worry that it will sink into the lake.
