Home Insulation Before & After Photos

This home had very little insulation protecting it from the unconditioned attic space. In order to remedy this situation we first sprayed in a layer of spray foam insulation around the whole base of the attic. This gave us a good base of insulation to work from and provided a much tighter air seal for the home. Next, we blew in around 18" of cellulose insulation. The combination of these insulation techniques now gives the homeowner a much more comfortable home with very little heat escaping through the attic in the winter. 

This customer was losing heat through their basement walls, in addition, they were unknowingly allowing cold air to enter their home. With these bare basement walls and uninsulated rim joists, this basement was a leading cause of inefficiency in the home. These issues were fixed by spraying a layer of spray foam around the perimeter of the basement including the tight and hard to reach spaces like the rim joists. The basement now adds energy efficiency to the home and provides a nice clean look that the walls had previously been lacking. If this homeowner were to finish this basement we let them know that we also offer complete basement finishing services. 

A homeowner in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS regarding the spray foam insulation service. The unfinished basement area had spots where cold outside air could easily access, and this was making it harder to keep an energy-efficient home (not to mention, a warm home). Luckily, DBS was able to send a crew to the home and install spray foam insulation around the perimeter of the basement on the rim joist portion. This will help keep the area warm and keep the overall home more energy-efficient! Photos from the project can be seen here.

When a homeowner in Duluth, MN, contacted us at DBS for help with insulating their home, they were looking for an efficient and reliable solution. The project focused on insulating the rim joist and a small entry area using SprayFoam. This small area, measuring 5x7 feet, included a window that occupied half of one wall. The homeowner took the initiative to remove the siding to provide access and planned to reinstall the sheetrock after our work was completed.

Our team ensured that every inch of the specified areas was thoroughly insulated. We sprayed foam under the entryway floor and the underside of the roof, where there was no ceiling at the time. In the basement, we insulated about half of the rim joist, as the other half was already filled with concrete. Despite the small size of the house and the added entry, we ensured that the foam application was precise and effective.

Our efficient and thorough approach left the homeowner with improved insulation, enhancing the overall comfort and energy efficiency of their home. 

A homeowner in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS regarding the insulation services we provide and was wanting a Design Specialist to come out and inspect their basement. The specialist recommended that the rim joists in the basement had spray foam installed, and our crew did just that. The spray foam will help ensure a more comfortable and energy-saving home environment.
