DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo met with the homeowner and created a plan to waterproof the basement space. WaterGuard® was installed around the perimeter of the basement in addition to a new TripleSafe™ Sump Pump. ZenWall™ paneling replaced the previous drywall and allows water to drain into the WaterGuard® system with ease keeping unwanted water out.

The homeowners now enjoy a clean, durable and dry finished basement.  

This homeowner in Duluth, MN, reached out to DBS in hopes of finishing their basement to make it safer for their grandkids. Their basement is connected to the crawlspace and water was entering through the space into the basement. As you can see, the moisture had taken over their crawlspace which created an uninviting area. By installing our  CleanSpace®and spray foam for the rim joists, this solution transformed the crawlspace into a dry, usable area, as seen in the after picture. With this new space, the homeowner can now move forward with their renovation plans, ensuring a safe and inviting space for their grandkids.

The new owners of this Duluth, MN home were experiencing issues with cold floors and were dreading high energy bills in the wintertime. They had only been living there for a few weeks when they decided to remove the faulty insulation and make a call to DBS in hopes of finding a more energy-efficient solution

Design Specialist Austin Burley visited the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the owners. After a thorough inspection, Austin recommended the 3-layer Crawl Space Encapsulation service offered by DBS.

Foreman Nick Woods led the installation of this project with the help of a crew. First, a layer of dimpled drainage matting was laid down to aid the flow of water. A layer of TerraBlock™ insulation was installed over the matting to block cold air from leaking up into the crawl space from the ground. The previous two layers were sealed with a layer of CleanSpace® to complete the encapsulation process and waterproof the space. The vertical walls in the crawl space were covered with SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation to prevent frost build-up. Finally, they air-sealed the remaining leak points in the crawl space with ZypFoam™ to prevent air from escaping to the first level as well as air entering from outside. 

Now that the installation of the 3-layer crawl space encapsulation system is complete, the owners will experience warmer floors and lower energy bills without ever needing to replace any doors or windows!
