Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Embarrass, MN were tired of inconsisent temperatures in their home. Drafty floors, combined with a wet crawl space left them looking for a crawl space encapsulation service.

They contacted us in search of a permanent solution and an expert in our Dr. Energy Saver® service visited the home and provided a thorough inspection. To properly seal-off the space from cold air, close-cell spray foam was suggested for the foundation walls and rim joists. Our production team applied the spray foam, as well as our CleanSpace® vapor barrier directly to the crawl space dirt floor. These two products will work together to keep unwanted moisture and cold air at bay. 

The homeowners were happy with the work done and now have a happy, safe, and comfortable home to enjoy!

A homeowner in Duluth, MN had a dirt crawl space under their home that was causing issues. They noted temperature and humidity fluctuations, as well as water pooling beneath the home.

This homeowner in South Range, WI was experiencing uncomfortable conditions in their home for years. After meeting us at the Duluth Home Show, the decided to tackle their unsealed crawl space. Water was pooling in the space causing humid air to enter the home in the summer months and cold air during winter months. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for a total crawl space encapsulation. After the inspection, he recommended a bit of supplemental support to address some sinking, as well as CleanSpace® vapor barrier as well as sump pump in the space to tackle the water issues.

DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg used our TerraBlock™ foam insulation to insulate the walls and rim joists, and finished the job by sealing everything in a layer of closed-cell spray foam. These two insulations will work together to keep moisture and cold air from penetrating the rest of the home.

From there, Foreman Taylor Allen and his crew completed the crawl space encapsulation. The team installed 3 SmartJack® support beams to address the sinking ceiling. They then put down a drainage matting, followed by our ultra durable CleanSpace® vapor barrier, and a Triple Safe™ sump pump. This crawl space drainage system is specially designed for crawl spaces and was connected to two discharge lines that will carry the water up and out of the home. 

Longtime owners of this family cabin in Sandstone, WI were concerned over noticeable sinking and settling. Sagging support beams were causing the floor of the home's main level to sink. 

DBS Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the support work in the crawl space. It was determined that the crawl space would have SmartJack® support beams installed to lift and support the sagging crawl space ceiling.

DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his production crew installed 24 feet of supplemental support beam, as well as 4 Smart Jack® support beams to restore the crawl space and provide proper support to the rest of the home. 

After the support work, our crawl space encapsulation crew also installed a vapor barrier to protect the cabin's infrastructure from water and rot damage in the future.

This family can now rest easy knowing their favorite retreat is protected for years to come.
