Facing ongoing issues with ice dams and seeking improved energy efficiency in Hermantown, MN, a homeowner reached out to us to address the challenges in their attic. As shown in the before photo, the attic lacked adequate insulation, which only intensified their problems. We provided a reliable solution by installing our advanced Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation. The after photo highlights the impressive upgrade, creating a much more energy-efficient space that is now better insulated against ice dam formation.

DBS was called out to this Duluth, MN to address rising heat bills and concerns of heat loss. Design Specialist, Steve Stern, inspected the home and proposed a couple of options to help fix the home's energy loss. Among a few other areas, the attic scuttle needed to be properly insulated. Significant heat loss occurs through an improperly insulated and sealed attic scuttle. Foreman, Drew Sundberg, and his crew installed the scuttle encapsulation insulation on this home. 

This Duluth, MN homeowner had noticed his heating bills rising over time. This winter he decided to give DBS a call and find out where he was losing all his heat. Design Specialist, Steve Stern, visited this homeowner and provided him with a thorough inspection of his home. Upon inspection, Steve found a few areas where the home was losing heat. One of the main areas that needed to be addressed was the attic insulation, as it was old and lacking the proper depth to achieve the desired R-value. Steve proposed that DBS air-seal problem areas and fill the attic with some blown in insulation that met the proper R-value standards. 

A homeowner in Duluth. MN reached out to DBS regarding insulation and mold issues within their basement. Several different areas had drafty, cold air leaking through, which can cost massive amounts of energy to try and heat. In need of a solution, they had DBS come and provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the insulating service. It was determined that spray foam insulation would be the key to keeping the entire basement area warm and energy-efficient. The results of the project can be seen here.

A homeowner in Duluth, MN was looking to better insulate the attic of their home, and reached out to DBS for some assistance. The attic originally had fiberglass wool insulation, a common item within households. This insulation was not quite getting the job done as far as warming the home and creating a more energy-saving environment. After a free, no-obligation estimate, it was determined that the home would need to have spray home insulation installed to replace the old fiberglass wool. Spray foam works wonders to create a more insulated and air leak-free home environment, and this homeowner can now enjoy a more energy-saving area.
