Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A family home in Pengilly, MN was built in the 1960's. Its dirt crawl space was poorly insulated and causing cold floors in the winter. The homeowners discovered that critters had destroyed the insulation and were living beneath the home. They reached out to DBS about our crawl space encapsulation service.

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer is an expert in energy-saving solutions and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. Foreman Nick Woods II and his production crew installed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier on top of drainage matting to properly seal the dirt crawl space floor. Our ultra-dense TerraBlock™ foam insulation, as well as closed-cell spray foam, were applied to fully seal and regulate temperature in the space. These products work together to keep, cold air, moisture, and pests at bay.

The homeowner was happy with the work done, and now has a solid solution to protect their cabin against low winter time temperatures, and pesky animals!
