The before photo captures the crawlspace of the cabin, where the musty smell became an unwelcome guest. As you can see in the photo, we introduced a breath of fresh air with our CleanSpace technology and SilverGlow insulation. Together, these solutions not only banished the mustiness but also paved the way for a rejuvenated and efficiently insulated crawl space. 

Before relocating to McGrath, MN, a concerned homeowner reached out to us about the excessive moisture in their crawl space, fearing it would worsen over time. As shown in the "before" photo, the space clearly required professional intervention. By installing our SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier and sealing the area with CleanSpace® liner and DoubleSafe™, as seen in the "after" photo, we converted the moisture-prone area into a dry, efficient space.

Our dedication to exceptional customer service was evident in both the problem-solving and the lasting peace of mind we delivered.

DBS received a call that a home in Deer River, MN looking to reduce the mold and mold odors in their home. The home had trouble with water and humidity, prior to calling us. The moisture created unwanted mold and mildew smells. DBS went to the home and quickly created a solution, our Design specialist, Royce Bunn, created a proposal to install a dehumidifying system and a CleanSpace® high-performance moisture barrier. We added some insulation and a drainage system to make sure the basement maintains a waterproof atmosphere, preventing mold in the future.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After the inspection, the Design Specialist generated a quote for our CleanSpace® and SilverGlo® insulation.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this job with assistance from a crew. Together they installed a CleanSpace® water vapor barrier along the vertical walls in the crawl space. The crew also installed SilverGlo® rigid foam insulation panels along the walls in order to provide a layer of insulation to the space.
