Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Milaca, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their drafty home. Their main concern was there crawlspace insulation and waterproofing. The homeowner was struggling to sleep at night thinking about the state of their home. One of our Design Specialists went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner.

After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist provided the homeowner with a free no-obligation estimate for our Crawl Space Encapsulation Service. One of our crews installed our crawl space products in the crawl space to thoroughly insulate and waterproof the space. Now the homeowner can relax with peace of mind!

The owner of this home in Merrifield, MN discovered mold in their crawlspace. They wanted to get ahead of dealing with freezing pipes during the winter, so the homeowner contacted DBS.

Design Specialist Austin Burley went out to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issue. After a thorough inspection, Austin recommended the Crawl Space Encapsulation service by DBS.

Foreman Raeshawn Pelfrey led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they stripped the crawl space of the old insulation. The first layer of crawl space encapsulation involves installing a layer of dimpled drainage matting to assist the flow of water underneath. Then a layer of TerraBlock™ foam insulation is installed as a barrier against frost. Finally, the previous layers are encased in a layer of CleanSpace® water vapor barrier. The crew also air-sealed the space with a polyurethane spray foam that expands into crevices as it is applied.

The crawl space has been thoroughly encapsulated and the homeowner will be able to relax more comfortably as their home retains cool air in the summer and warm air in the winter. They will also be happy to see lower energy bills as winter progresses.

This homeowner in Saint Paul, MN, was concerned about keeping their crawlspace clean and insulated. Enter our CleanSpace© solution, visible in the transformations captured in these photos. Before, the crawl space seemed unsure and unwelcoming, but after a free, no-obligation inspection with Design Specialist Justin, our team, led by Foreman Cobi, got to work. They wrapped the area in CleanSpace©, providing a durable layer that assures the walls won't budge during her future home expansions, and SprayFoam©, a quality insulation. This project was a testament to our commitment to delivering long-lasting solutions, and ensuring peace of mind for years to come.

This homeowner in Saint Paul, MN wanted to address the insulation problem in their basement. The space was continuously too hot or too cold depending on the season, making it unusable.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo assisted the owner by conducting a free, no-obligation estimate. After a careful inspection, Henrik recommended the installation of SprayFoam insulation. 

Foreman Brain Whiting led the installation of this project with help from a team. First, the team used the SprayFoam insulation to air seal any cracks or holes in the walls that may be allowing unwanted airflow to enter or exit the home. After air sealing, they installed the insulation across the entirety of the wall to create the insulation barrier, as well as a moisture barrier.

This homeowner can now relax in their temperature appropriate home. 

The owners of this home in Saint Paul, MN experienced issues with keeping their house warm. They would raise the heat but all they got in return was high energy bills. Looking for a solution, the owners contacted DBS.

Design Specialist Austin Burley went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the owners. After evaluation, he suggested the owners have insulation dense-packed into their cathedral-style ceilings to help insulate their roof.

Foreman Nick Woods II led the installation for this project with help from his crew. Together they drilled holes in each bay of the ceiling to dense-pack blown-in Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation as the space in between the ceiling and roof was inaccessible. Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation is more efficient than fiber-glass because it retains heat better and is also treated in a borate solution to prevent pests and acts as a fire-retardant. To finish the job the team sealed off each injection site with ZypFoam™ to completely air seal the space.

Now that the home has been properly insulated, the homeowners can relax comfortably as they experience lower energy bills and a warmer household.
