Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Faced with a musty aroma taking over their cozy cabin in Remer, MN, this homeowner turned to DBS for help. The before photo captures the crawlspace of the cabin, where the musty smell became an unwelcome guest. As you can see in the photo, we introduced a breath of fresh air with our CleanSpace technology and SilverGlow insulation. Together, these solutions not only banished the mustiness but also paved the way for a rejuvenated and efficiently insulated crawl space. 

A crawl space in Cook MN was causing some serious problems for these homeowners. After seeing our advertisements on local television, they decided to contact us in search of a permanent solution to the problem. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the encapsulation work. It was determined that multiple types of insulation would be used, as well as CleanSpace® vapor barrier and drainage matting to completely protect the space from moisture.

DBS Foreman Kevin Steffey and his production team installed TerraBlock™, Rim Joist, and Spray Foam insulations, as well as a SmartSump™ sump pump to keep the space free from water. 

This crawl space is now completely sealed, regulating temperature, and moisture levels for the entire home. 

Folks with a family cabin in Cook, MN want to keep their favorite retreat in tip-top shape for years to come. The cabin's dirt crawl space was retaining moisture, harboring some mold, and affecting air quality. They reached out to DBS about our crawl space encapsulation service.

Design Specialist Jacob Nustad-Peluso is an expert in energy-saving solutions and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. Foreman Joe Harris and his production crew installed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier on top of drainage matting in the dirt crawl space. Because this space was so prone to water, our team also installed a TripleSafe™ sump pump as well as a new external drainage line. 

This cabin now has a permanent solution to protect their cabin against moisture build-up in the crawl space.

DBS received a call from a client in Longville, MN looking to upgrade their crawl space because it had not been maintained in years, they also said their home was often cold, and wanted to add insulation to the area from our Dr. Energy Saver spray foam services. DBS was able to upgrade the crawl space to an area that will be maintained for years into the future, while also adding insulation to keep cold air from entering the room. DBS also made sure the crawl space was dry by installing a drainage matting to the crawl space floor. Now we can ensure that the home will have a dry, updated crawl space for years into the future.
