Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This Minneapolis, MN homeowner was experiencing cold air seeping into the bottom of their home, which pushes the warm air out of the top of the home. The owner needed a permanent fix, so they turned to DBS for a solution. 

Design specialist Henrik Makitalo assisted this homeowner with a free no-obligation estimate to help their home. Following the inspection, Henrik suggested the owners insulate the top area of their home in order to stop the cold air from seeping in and keep the warm air from escaping. 

Foreman Raeshawn Pelfrey led the installation of this solution, along with a team. The team installed closed-cell spray polyurethane foam to insulate the home. This spray foam effectively seals off air infiltration while creating a moisture barrier. Along with the insulation benefits, this spray foam also adds strength to the framing and sheathing of the structure.

This homeowner can now relax knowing the warm air they want is staying where they need it. 

The owner of this home in Fridley, MN had a recommendation to encapsulate their crawlspace to mitigate radon radiation and help warm the living space floors. They also had issues with pests. Looking for a solution, they reached out to DBS.

A Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, the Design Specialist generated a free quote for our Crawlspace Encapsulation Service.

A DBS Foreman led the installation on this project with assistance from a crew. Together they first installed a layer of dimpled drainage matting to help regulate water flow underneath the layers of material. Next, they laid down panels of TerraBlock™ foam insulation for blocking frost. Finally, they sealed the space with CleanSpace® water vapor barrier. To finish the project, the crew sprayed closed-cell polyurethane spray foam insulation on the vertical walls of the crawlspace.

Now that the crawlspace has been properly encapsulated, the homeowner will be able to relax more comfortably in their warm, healthy home.

The owner of this home in Minneapolis, MN noticed several cracks throughout their home near doors, windows, and other areas of the home. The main beam in the basement was also bowing downwards (see image below). Looking for a solution to their foundation problems, they reached out to DBS.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After the inspection, they generated a free quote for our SmartJack®  System to solve the foundation issues.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 3 SmartJack® supports in the basement in order to level the flooring above.

Now that the home has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind as the SmartJack® System should prevent further cracking from occurring throughout the home.

Before reaching out to us, this homeowner in Robbinsdale, MN, was grappling with a damp and musty crawlspace that was negatively affecting their home environment. As you can see in the before photo, the area was in dire need of encapsulation. After a free, no-obligation inspection was scheduled by our Appointment Center, Design Specialist Nick went out to take a look. Understanding the importance of a dry and healthy crawlspace, our production team, led by Foreman Tate, stepped in and installed our CleanSpace© system. Notice in the after photo how the space has been completely transformed - it's now clean, dry, and protected against future moisture problems. 

This homeowner contacted DBS after enduring a daily routine to bring their space heater upstairs just so they could warm the upstairs addition. They wanted proper insulation to alleviate this issue and finally have a warmer upstairs level.

Our Design Specialist visited the property and recommended a solution that involves a full installation of the attic.

When Kornell Green, our Foreman, and the crew went to the property, they installed 5 XL can light covers, air sealed and insulated the access points, baffles, and floors using our spray foam insulation. Once the spray foam insulation was complete, Kornell and the team secured the installation further by using our TruSoft Cellulose. Once the project was complete, the homeowner was very happy with the final result!
