Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Family Cabin with Moisture and Mold in Cook, MN Has Crawl Space Sealed
Folks with a family cabin in Cook, MN want to keep their favorite retreat in tip-top shape for years to come. The cabin's dirt crawl space was retaining moisture, harboring some mold, and affecting air quality. They reached out to DBS about our crawl space encapsulation service.
Design Specialist Jacob Nustad-Peluso is an expert in energy-saving solutions and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. Foreman Joe Harris and his production crew installed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier on top of drainage matting in the dirt crawl space. Because this space was so prone to water, our team also installed a TripleSafe™ sump pump as well as a new external drainage line.
This cabin now has a permanent solution to protect their cabin against moisture build-up in the crawl space.
Mold in Crawl Space
Upon inspection, our Design Specialist found mold on the wooden supports in the crawl space. Over time, this prolonged exposure to mold and moisture can cause wooden support beams to rot.

Existing Discharge Line

Crawl Space Entrance
The entrance to the crawl space is in the home's main living area. Because over 50% of the air that you breathe comes from your crawl space, this cabin had a musty smell.
CleanSpace® and Sump Pump Installed
CleanSpace® is an ultra-durable vapor barrier that will lead any accumulating moisture to the new TripleSafe™ sump pump.
