New Scuttle Cover and Insulation for Duluth, MN Basement

The owners of this home in Duluth, MN had a goal of cutting down their utility payments. They knew their attic was not properly sealed and reached out to us for a permanent solution.

A DBS Design Specialist trained in our Dr. Energy Saver® services visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the insulation project. They recommended installation of a "hybrid attic" system - which is a combination of closed-cell spray foam and cellulose insulation.

Our DBS production crew began by completely removing the existing fiberglass batt insulation. They then air sealed and insulated the space applying 1 inch of spray foam to the attic deck. Once that was complete, they installed Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation, thoroughly lining the attic space. This will assist in holding in heated air, and prevent ice dam build-up. We also installed a new scuttle cover to tightly seal the entrance to the attic.
