Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Nasty Crawl Space Restored in Hermantown, MN
These homeowners in Hermantown, MN reached out to DBS for help fixing their nasty crawl space. This crawl space had mold, rust and sitting water that contributed to allergens and a musty odor throughout the home.
Dr. Energy Saver™ Design Specialist, Hunter Riley went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. CleanSpace® waterproofing barrier was recommended to keep water out of the crawl space paired with our TripleSafe™ Sump Pump and an IceGuard® Drain so water can escape all year round. Our compact and powerful SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed and connected to the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump so these homeowners will never have to empty it! With the crawl space made dry, insulation was installed along all rim joists and walls to prevent freezing pipes during winter months. Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew worked hard to install all of the waterproofing and insulation products.
This home is now dry, more energy-efficient, and free from musty odors!

CleanSpace® Waterproofing
CleanSpace® is a 20 mil-thick-liner that is placed over drainage matting to create an effective waterproofing and drainage solution.
CleanSpace® Functionality
