Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Minneapolis, MN Crawlspace Insulated for Year-Round Comfort

Homeowners in Minneapolis, MN wanted to encapsulate their crawlspace to improve comfort in the wintertime. Their cold, drafty floors were a result of an under-insulated crawlspace. Looking for a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS to schedule a free, no-obligation estimate.Design Specialist Austin Burley is a Design Specialist for our Dr. Energy Saver® service. He visited the home to provide a thorough inspection and solution for the home. He designed a plan that included removing the old insulation and installing our full encapsulation system; first drainage matting, next crawlspace insulation, and finally, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier.Foreman Nick Woods II led the install of this project. After the encapsulation products were installed, the team applied closed-cell spray foam to the rim joists. This space is now transformed into a healthy, safe, and comfortable!

Dirty, Musty Crawlspace in Minneapolis

The air in your crawlspace circulates throughout the rest of your home. If the air is musty, you'll smell it in the living areas of your home. If the air is cold, you'll have a harder time heating your home.

Failing Fiberglass Batting Insulation

Because the vapor barrier in this dirt crawl space is not working properly, condensation has caused the fiberglass insulation to mold and break down.

TerraBlock™ Crawl Space Insulation

After our team applied drainage matting, they installed TerraBlock™, our crawl space insulation. This provided a thermal barrier from the cold, dirt ground.

CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier Installed in Minneapolis

This white, poly material is installed and secured to the crawl space floor and plays a central role in preventing excessive water vapor in the space.

Closed-Cell Spray Foam in Minneapolis

Sealing the rim joists is crucial to stop cold air from entering the space. Our team used closed-cell spray foam to insulate the vertical walls of the crawlspace.
