These Hermantown homeowners reached out to DBS after seeing a Television Ad for our company. They had been having issues with standing water in their basement and wanted a permanent solution to the problem. Design Specialist Hunter Riley provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. A DBS Foreman and their production team installed our CleanSpace® Wall Poly in the space and everything now flows to a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump to keep water out for good. This home now has a safe and dry crawlspace to enjoy with a clean new look.

A DBS Design Specialist went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowners. The Design Specialist recommended the insulation solutions provided by DBS. 

Foreman Nick Woods II led the installation of this project. With help from a crew, they covered the ground and walls in the crawl space with a layer of CleanSpace®. CleanSpace® is a thick white poly sheet vapor barrier to prevent moisture from reaching the inside.
