Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Rim Joist Insulation Improves Heating Efficiency in Duluth, MN

These homeowners reached out to DBS for help improving their home's energy efficiency. Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Henrik measured heat loss along the perimeter of the basement because the rim joists were not properly insulated. Foreman Kevin Steffey and his production crew installed 3" of closed-cell spray foam based on Henrik's recommendation. This basement is now safe, healthy, and more energy-efficient!
