Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Grand Rapids, MN was tired of negative impacts their dirt crawl space was having on the rest of their home. They noted temperature and humidity fluctuations, as well as water pooling beneath the home.  To learn more about what steps were needed to properly insluate the home, they reached out to us about our Dr. Energy Saver® services after learning about our company on local television.

A Design Specialist trained in energy-saving solutions visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. A DBS foreman and crew installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier over drainage matting in the dirt crawl space. These two products work together to keep moisture and pests at bay. Foam insulation as well as closed-cell spray foam were applied to fully seal and regulate temperature in the space. 

The homeowner was happy with the work done, resulting in a great improvement of this home's overall health.
