CASE STUDY
CRAWLSPACE WATERPROOFING IN HACKENSACK, MN
A homeowner in Hackensack, MN, preparing their property for retirement wanted to improve energy efficiency, lower heating costs, and keep unwanted pests out of their home. DBS installed a CleanSpace® encapsulation system to create a cleaner, drier, and more protected crawl space.
This homeowner in Hackensack, MN, was prepping their property for retirement to achieve year-round use. They sought to boost their home’s efficiency, reduce heating costs, and safeguard against unwelcome wildlife visitors, eyeing their crawl space as the focal point for these improvements. Upon contacting our friendly Customer Care team, we rapidly scheduled a comprehensive home inspection. Our System Design Specialist visited the home, unearthed the underlying issues compromising crawl space integrity, and proposed a top-notch solution – installation of our CleanSpace® product. CleanSpace® is specifically designed to encapsulate crawl spaces, serving as a barrier against moisture, pests, and energy loss. The process embarked with our adept production team meticulously preparing the area, ensuring a smooth CleanSpace® installation. Throughout the process, we held close to the heart – our commitment to cause minimal disruption while delivering an unmatched customer experience. Once installed, the CleanSpace® liner utterly transformed the crawl space into a clean, dry, and efficiently insulated area. The homeowner noticed immediate changes – reduced energy bills and the comforting absence of pesky critters making their way into the house. An efficiently secured space that caters to the home’s structural integrity and increases its overall value. By the project’s completion, it was clear we didn’t just meet the initial goals but also reinforced the homeowner’s confidence in their home’s preparedness for their retirement years. It was another testament to how DBS stands out in delivering both reliable solutions and memorable experiences to our clients.
Crawl Spaces: you won’t believe what we find under homes!
Moisture & Mold in Minnesota Crawl Spaces Can Damage Your Home Fast
Across Duluth, St. Louis County, St. Cloud, Stearns County, Sherburne County, Benton County, Brainerd, Baxter, Crow Wing County, and Cass County, vented crawl spaces are built to struggle with snowmelt, damp soil, summer humidity, and freeze-thaw cycles. When warm, humid air meets cooler surfaces underground, condensation forms, and mold follows. That mold doesn’t stay put.
Damp Minnesota Crawl Spaces Attract Pests, Rodents, and Wood-Damaging Insects
Moisture-damaged wood doesn’t just rot, it attracts pests that cause their own wave of destruction. From lake-area cabins in Cass and Crow Wing County to year-round homes in Duluth, St. Cloud, Elk River, and Sauk Rapids, dark and damp crawl spaces can become ideal conditions for rodents, carpenter ants, and wood-damaging insects.
Your Minnesota Crawl Space Could Be Costing You 25–40% More on Energy Bills
An unencapsulated crawl space is one of the biggest sources of energy loss in a Minnesota home. Whether it’s subzero winter air in Duluth and Brainerd or summer humidity in St. Cloud and Sherburne County, your HVAC system pays the price, and so do you.
