Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Minong, WI Cabin Transformed into Year-round Home with Crawl Space Encapsulation

A cabin owner in Minong, WI wanted to transform this space into their permanent residence. With a dirt crawl space and very little insulation, they wanted to ensure comfortable temperatures in the cabin and eliminate the possibility of pipes freezing and bursting during winter months. They reached out to DBS about our crawl space encapsulation service. Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo is an expert in energy-saving solutions and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. Foreman Taylor Allen and his production crew installed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier on top of foam insulation over the dirt crawl space floor. Our ultra-dense TerraBlock™ foam insulation, as well as closed-cell spray foam, were applied to fully seal and regulate temperature in the space. These products work together to keep, cold air, moisture, and pests at bay. The homeowner was happy with the work done, and now has a solid solution to protect their cabin against low winter time temperatures.

Musty Dirt Crawl Space

When unsealed, moisture from the crawl space dirt is evaporated into the rest of the home, creating a musty smell.

Dirt Crawl Spaces Provide a Host of Issues

Moisture, mold, and pests naturally thrive in dark and damp dirt spaces. Encapsulating your crawl space eliminates those threats and increases the overall health and safety of your home.
