Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Saginaw, MN was looking to transform their dirty, wet crawl space to a more pleasant area. They reached out to DBS to find the right solution. It turned out that the crawl space needed to be fully encapsulated with CleanSpace® lining, as well as have a TripleSafe™ sump pump installed. The combination of these products can ensure proper waterproofing for the entire area. With the help of DBS, the homeowner can now be more comfortable with a cleaner crawl space for their property.

These Saginaw, MN homeowners were experiencing multiple problems with their crawl space under their home. Insulation that was previously replaced by a different company was falling down and there were also critters getting into the duct work causing problems. 

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer assisted these homeowners in a free no-obligation estimate. After the inspection, Henry decided that reinsulating the crawl space more thoroughly and correctly this time would help solve the problems they were experiencing. 

Foreman Nicholas Woods II, along with a team, led the installation of this project. They began by removing the previous insulation that was ineffective. Next, they used metal insulation tape to close the hole in the air duct that was allowing access to critters and unwanted air flow. Next, SilverGlo™ graphite-infused rigid foam was installed to prevent moisture and frost from reaching the foundation. Finally, the team used SprayFoam insulation over the top of the SilverGlo to increase the R-Value and air seal the space. 

This crawl space now has an effective insulation system that will keep moisture and critters out, and warm air in.

The flooring above was warping, slipping into disrepair as seen in the striking before photo. Our goal was to transform the damp crawlspace into a dry, sturdy foundation for future generations. Our crew meticulously removed debris, regraded the crawl castors, and added our defensive elements such as drainage matting and the efficient TerraBlock for padding. In the after photo, you can see the transformation of an encapsulated crawl space sealed tight with CleanSpace technology, guarded by SilverGlow insulation, all held firm by the unyielding strength of SmartJack support systems. This crawl space now stands as a testament to our dedication to turning troubled into tranquil, ensuring peace of mind and stability for the happy homeowner.
