Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

We had a customer call in about a home he had just purchased with no insulation in the crawl space. We had set the appointment for him, promising him a free written estimate provided by one of our specialist. We finished with a happy customer. He now has a clean crawl space, his home is comfortable, free from cold drafts, little critters, and the smell of mold.

A homeowner in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS regarding home insulation. During the winter months, the home remained cold and drafty due to poor insulation. In need of a solution, the homeowner had a Design Specialist visit, and it was concluded that the rim joist area of the home would need to have SilverGlo™ installed for proper home insulation. This product is ideal for keeping your home warm and energy efficient during the harsh winter season. The product can be seen installed in this gallery!

A homeowner in Duluth, MN had a dirt crawl space under their home that was causing issues. They had a vapor barrier partially laid down in the space by another contractor. But they noted that temperature and humidity fluctuations were still present and this was affecting the main level of their home. To learn more about what steps were needed to properly insulate the home, they reached out to us about our Dr. Energy Saver® services after learning about our company in the local newspaper.

A Design Specialist trained in energy-saving solutions visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. A DBS foreman and crew secured the existing vapor barrier in the crawl space. From there, they applied closed-cell spray foam insulation to the rim joists where the crawl space was releasing cold air into the main level of the home. 

The homeowner was happy with the work done, resulting in a great improvement of this home's overall health. 

Duluth, MN homeowners wanted to seal their dirt crawl space. It had very little insulation, causing cold conditions for the room above it. But their biggest issues was the musty smell. It was present year-round in their living space. Concerned about health implications of smelling mold, they contacted DBS for a permanent solution.

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer is an expert in energy-saving solutions and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, Henry drafted a custom-plan to seal this dirt crawl space and protect the home above it.

Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew installed drainage matting and CleanSpace® vapor barrier. The drainage matting helps water properly drain from the space. In turn, the vapor barrier prevents condensation in the wet dirt from evaporating into the air and traveling up into the living space.

Our crew finished the encapsulation job by using spray foam to seal and insulate the crawl space rim joists. This will prevent cold air from entering the crawl space and cooling the living space above it.

The homeowner was happy with the work done, and now has a solid solution to protect their home year-round.

The owner of this home in Duluth, MN reached out to us looking for help with their damp crawl space. One of our Design Specialists went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist created a quote for our Crawl Space Waterproofing Service.

One of our crews went to the home to install our products. First, they installed CleanSpace® water vapor barrier. Then they sprayed polyurethane foam insulation along the rim joists to air-seal the space.

Now that the crawl space has been waterproofed, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.
