Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Year-Round Comfort Restored in Couderay, WI Cabin

Owners of this Courderay, WI cabin dreamt of using their space year-round. With some signs of settling in the foundation and cold floors in the wintertime, they were interested in learning more about our crawl space encapsulation service. DBS Design Specialist Steve LaFontaine visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the project. He assessed the structural concerns, as well as the crawl space. He worked with the cabin owners to design a plan that would increase their year-round comfort and maintain their property value for years to come. DBS Foreman Nick Burley led this crawl space project. He and his team installed 4 SmartJack® support beams in order to restore the cabin to a level position. From there, they installed our 3-layer system for crawl space encapsulation. First, drainage matting to eliminate moisture buildup, TerraBlock™ crawl space insulation, and CleanSpace® vapor barrier. These three products work together to fully protect the crawl space and condition spaces around them from the effects of cold air and moisture.
