Transforming an Underutilized Crawl Space in Arden Hills with CleanSpace® and TerraBlock™ for Enhanced Storage and Value

Previously, our customer in Arden Hills, MN, struggled with their spacious but underutilized crawl space, plagued by unwanted mice activity. Their goal was twofold: to make the space usable for storage and to enhance their home's value. We addressed their concerns by installing our CleanSpace® solution, spray foam insulation, and TerraBlock™ bottom crawl space insulation. The transformation is evident in the photos; the after image shows a seamless, clean area ready for storage, free from pests. Our commitment provided a durable, clean environment, turning their crawl space challenges into home improvement successes.

Crawl Space Encapsulation and Insulation in Gordon, WI

After learning about DBS on local T.V., this Gordon, WI homeowner reached out regarding the dirt crawl space underneath their cabin style home. They were hoping for a more energy efficienct system that would also control moisture in the crawl space.

A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist visited the home and did a thorough inspection, providing an estimate for the cost. A CleanSpace® vapor barrier was recommended to eliminate moisture from entering this home. TerraBlock™ Crawl Space Floor Insulation paneling was combined with closed cell spray foam to seal off air leaks that allowed outdoor air to enter this home.

This dry and encapsulated crawl space is now providing a solid foundation for this home's overall energy health. 

Foundational Issues, Mold Growth, and Water Buildup Promote Unsafe Crawl Space For Home In Gordon, WI

The owner of this cabin in Gordon, WI was concerned about their health and safety as there was a serious moisture issue, creating the perfect environment for mold growth. Foundational issues were also a concern. The main support beams were weak and the columns supporting the beams were leaning after years of slowly sinking into the moist ground. The owner reached out to DBS in hopes of a solution.

A DBS Design Specialist went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. The Design Specialist determined that the moisture issue could be solved by installing DBS's UltraSump™ sump pump to help drain water. They also encouraged encapsulating the crawl space with CleanSpace® to promote a dry environment in the crawl space. The homeowners were advised that the SmartJack® System solution would be a great fix to their failing foundation.

Foreman Osia Williams led the installation for this project. With the help of his team, they successfully installed the UltraSump™, CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation, and 6 SmartJack® supports. The waterproofing solution that has been installed will help eliminate the buildup of water in the crawl space, preventing further mold growth, and the SmartJack® System ensures that the home is permanently stabilized and free from any further sinking or settling.

The owners are now able to relax comfortably and safely in their homes now that they know the air they are breathing is free of mold, and their foundation has been permanently stabilized.
