A cabin owner in Deerwood, MN reached out to DBS for help protecting their cabin's basement. Foundation cracks were allowing cold air and water to seep into the basement, and this was taking its toll on the overall health of the home.

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation and insulation support. Our production crew first excavated the wall and performed the foundation support using helical tiebacks. We then used a suite of our Dr. Energy Saver® insulation products to provide further weather proofing and air sealing support.

SentrySeal® is a rubber membrane that we used as the initial layer to seal the space. We then applied a layer of dimple matting to guide any moisture away from the foundation. We then installed a layer of our SilverGlo™ insulation. This rigid foam insulation is infused with graphite, making its R-value up to 25% to that of traditional foam insutlations. 

This home is now protected from further foundation trouble and sealed properly using Dr. Energy Saver® technology.
