Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Waterproofing and Insulation in Ely, MN

These homeowners in Ely, MN reached out to DBS for help encapsulating their crawl space. They had uncontrolled moisture in the space which turned into mold. Heat loss and outdoor air entering the crawl space carried musty odors throughout the entire home. Design Specialist, Hunter Riley went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Hunter determined that a complete waterproofing solution was needed for moisture control. CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier was recommended to keep water out of the crawl space. Thermal imaging tests revealed that heat was escaping from the joists and perimeter of the crawl space. Foreman Jason Foster and his production team installed a waterproofing system and insulated the joists with spray foam. This crawl space is now dry, safe and energy-efficient!
