Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Superior, WI wanted to encapsulate their crawl space in order to transform it into a storage area. However, first, they need to address moisture and cold air issues.

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home and conducted a free, no-obligation estimate in order to find the perfect solutions for this home's needs. After a careful inspection, the Design Specialist provided a quote and recommended encapsulation, just as the owner was wanting!

Foreman Evan LaFontaine led the installation of this project, along with a team. Together, the team removed the old batting insulation, installed drainage matting to help get rid of water intrusion, and installed the CleanSpace® water vapor barrier. The barrier will keep the space dry and clean, making it the perfect storage area. Finally, the team used SprayFoam to insulate the space and air seal any unwanted cracks and holes. 

This homeowner can now relax in their comfortable, clutter-free home. 

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.

Foreman Raeshawn Pelfrey led the installation of this project and with the help of a team they successfully applied a layer of closed-cell polyurethane spray foam to the interior walls of the crawl space. This specific foam expands into small crevices to completely air-seal the space. Moisture will soak its way through fiberglass and cellulose insulation, but polyurethane spray foam stops it cold.

Now that the block walls in their crawl space have been properly sealed, the owners of this home will experience warmer floors and a comfier home. As the owners tough out their first winter on the north shore, they will also notice lower energy bills.
