Home Insulation Before & After Photos

This Duluth, MN homeowner was having issues with keeping their home warm during winter months. Uninsulated space underneath the main floor of the home was causing pipes to freeze and burst, not to mention uncomfortable living conditions. Looking for a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS. 

A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate. After measuring energy loss in the basement, our expert recommended closed cell spray foam to decrease heating and cooling costs. A DBS Foreman and their production crew applied the spray foam along one wall of the basement as well as the rim joists in the ceiling.

This home is overall more energy-efficient during all four seasons!

A Design Specialist trained in energy-saving solutions visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. From there, a DBS foreman and crew installed closed-cell spray foam to the rim joists and uninsulated outer walls. This will seal the air completely from cold air and water.

The homeowner was happy with the work done, resulting in a great improvement of this home's overall health. 

The owner of this in Duluth, MN had issues with ice dams in the winter. Ice dams are a symptoms of warm air in your home leaking out via the attic. Wanting to save energy and create a more comfortable home, they contacted us about our Dr. Energy Saver insulation services.

Our Dr. Energy Saver Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the insulation project. After inspecting the attic space, it was determined that a combination of rigid foam and expanding spray foam were necessary to effectively insulate the attic.

DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his team installed nearly 400 square feet of SilverGlo™ insulation. This graphite-infused rigid foam insulation will provide a solid radiant barrier and prvent heat from leeching out of the home via the ceiling. The sealed the seams in the foam insulation with expanding ZypFoam to block any air leakage.

They then used our TruSoft™ cellulose to dense pack the exterior walls. TruSoft™ has a higher R-value than fiberglass and other cellulose materials, perfect for use in our northern climate. Tru-Soft™ cellulose is extra dense and made from recycled news paper. It's treated to be extremely resistant to heat and fire, making it a great companion for an attic space. 

This home is now properly equipped to handle warm Minnesota summers and freezing winters with new attic insulation.

A property owner reached out to DBS for help with an insulation project. The lower level of his lake-facing rental property was experiencing moisture due to poor insulation. 

DBS Design Specialist, Austin Burley went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Austin recommended dense packing the walls. Dense packing is an effective form of insulating where a small section of siding is removed and insulation is inserted into the walls from outside the home. No internal work is required and it offers a solid and effective insulation solution. 

Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew worked hard to install the insulation. The result is lower heating and cooling bills, reduced moisture, and a permanent solution to an energy problem.
