Home Insulation Before & After Photos

This home in Deer River, MN needed some assistance with the condition of the crawl space. Wanting to encapsulate the area, the homeowners trusted DBS to help find a long-lasting, effective solution for their home.

A DBS Design Specialist assisted the homeowners with a free, no-obligation estimate. After completing a careful inspection, our SprayFoam insulation was recommended, along with the rest of our encapsulation services.

Design Specialist Nicholas Woods II led the team in this installation. They used DES SprayFoam insulation to coat the walls of the crawlspace to avoid any airflow sneaking into the area. Then, the team used CleanSpace for a clean finish and to allow the space to be used as a safe, dry storage area.

With these solutions, this crawlspace is now clean, warm, and ready for use if needed.

In Brook Park, MN, homeowners faced the discomfort of cold floors and a persistent musty smell, aggravating allergies and dampening their living space. Our team at DBS took on the challenge, transforming their troublesome crawl space into a sealed, dry safe haven. Notice in the before photo how uninviting it was, but the after photo showcases our CleanSpace© solution in action – a bright, clean, and insulated area promoting a healthier home. The difference isn't just visual; it's felt throughout every step on the floors above. This remarkable turnaround not only solved the immediate issues but also elevated their home's comfort and value.

Before addressing a Grand Rapids homeowner's concerns about potential foundation issues and the need for a re-roof, we first tackled the clear insulation problems, as shown in the 'before' photo. Upon further inspection, we discovered that poor insulation was the main culprit, leading to energy inefficiency and even affecting the garage space. We then applied TruSoft™ Blown-In Cellulose insulation. As shown in the 'after' photo, this solution significantly improved energy efficiency and helped protect the home from future insulation-related concerns, demonstrating our commitment to providing dependable, long-lasting solutions.

The owners of this home in Cloquet, MN had issues with mold in their attic. They wanted a solution to properly air-seal their attic for energy efficiency so they reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist Austin Burley conducted a free no-obligation estimate for the owners. After a thorough inspection, Austin recommended that the owners consider installing insulation products offered by DBS to promote a healthier space.

Foreman Nick Woods II led the installation of this project with help from a team. Together they stripped the attic of the old fiber-glass batting insulation that had crumbled from water damage over the years. After removing all of the old insulation, they sealed all of the air leaks in the attic with a waterproof polyurethane spray foam. Then 17 inches of Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation was blown into the attic. Cellulose insulation is a more energy-efficient alternative to fiber-glass insulation. It is made from recycled material treated with a borate solution to repel pests and acts as a fire-retardant.

Now that the home has been properly insulated, the owners will experience a warmer climate in their living spaces. Proper insulation helps retain heat in the right areas of your home and will decrease energy bills without having to replace any doors or windows!

This home in Grand Rapids, MN needed to increase its R-value in the attic. New insulation needed to be added, so the owner reached out to DBS for a professional and permanent solution. 

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home and conducted a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After this thorough inspection, a quote was provided for blown cellulose insulation.

Foreman Nicholas Woods II led the installation of this project with help from a partner. Together, the team blew cellulose insulation into the attic. This added layer of insulation doubled the R-value of the space. This thick, fire-resistant insulation is long-lasting and effective.

This homeowner can now relax in their well-insulated home.
