Superior, WI Crawl Space Foundation Leaks Cold Air in The Winter, Polyurethane Spray Foam Provides Proper Insulation

The owners of this home in Superior, WI experienced issues with cold floors and a drafty home due to improper insulation of their crawl space. They reached out to DBS after seeing an ad for crawl space insulation while perusing the newspaper. 

Design Specialist Henry Junbauer went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. A thorough inspection led Henry to conclude that properly insulating the crawl space walls would provide the homeowners with a more comfortable home and cheaper energy bills.
