Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation and Insulation in Canyon, MN
These homeowners in Canyon, MN reached out to DBS for help with encapsulating their crawlspace. Water was pooling in the dirt space allowing for excess moisture and humidity to enter the home in the summer months, and cold air to penetrate the home during colder winter months.
DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. The solution for the unwanted water was to install our CleanSpace® waterproofing barrier and insulate the rim joists with closed cell spray foam and seal off the crawl space. A DBS foreman and his production crew installed the products and encapsulated this crawl space.
The overall health and energy efficiency has dramatically increased for this home.
