Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Duluth, MN Cabin Crawl Space Encapsulated for Year-Round Protection

This Duluth, MN cabin has been in the family for decades. Its dirt crawl space was causing moisture issues as well a musty smell in the main living space. Because the cabin is not used year-round, they wanted to protect it as much as possible against moisture and fluctuating weather even when they aren't there. They reached out to DBS about our crawl space encapsulation service. Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer is an expert in energy-saving solutions and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for sealing and protecting this crawl space. Foreman Nick Woods II and his production crew installed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier on top of drainage matting to properly seal 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 family was happy with the work done, and now has a solid solution to protect their cabin against low winter time temperatures.
