Home Insulation Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for help improving energy-efficiency in their basement.

Design Specialist, Hunter Riley went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the project. Hunter recommended Spray Foam insulation to improve temperature control in the basement. Foreman Jason Foster and his production team installed the Spray Foam along the perimeter of the basement. 

This home is now healthy, comfortable and more energy-efficient!

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.

After connecting energy issues to their under-insulated attic, Duluth, MN homeowners contacted DBS for more information about our Dr. Energy Saver® insulation service.

DBS Design Specialist Austin Burley visited the home and provided an estimate for the attic re-insulation project. He designed a custom plan that would air seal the attic, and include new cellulose insulation. 

DBS Foreman Nick Woods II led the install of this attic insulation project. The crew applied closed-cell spray foam to the attic deck sealing gaps, cracks, and holes. They also wrapped the chimney in rock wool and sealed the base. From there, they installed TruSoft cellulose. This lightweight, yet dense insulation is made from recycled newspapers and coated with a non-toxic formula that is resistant to pests and fire. 

After a successful attic insulation like this one, the homeowners should expect increased comfort and reduced energy bills.
