These homeowners in Superior, Wisconsin reached out to DBS for help making their front porch energy efficient so they can spend time in it all year round. In past years the homeowners used two electric heaters to keep the space heated during Wisconsin's harsh winters. They were ready for a permanent solution when they called DBS!

A DBS Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the current insulation and utilizing heat mapping technology it was evident there were many air leaks and weak points in the existing insulation. The solution was a hybrid attic system that utilized closed cell spray foam to seal off air leaks and applying 18 inches of blown cellulose insulation on the attic floor. The sides of the home were dense-packed with blown insulation to keep outdoor air from entering the home. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew.

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable!

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they dense-packed Tru-Soft™ blown cellulose insulation into walls in the entryway exterior walls. They did this by cutting holes in the drywall and blowing the Tru-Soft™ into the walls until they are tightly packed. This will provide proper insulation for the exterior walls and help retain heat in the entryway. In the basement, the crew sealed the rim joists of the home with a waterproof polyurethane spray foam. The spray foam expands into every crack and crevice as it is applied to completely air-seal the space.
