Home Insulation Before & After Photos

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.

A homeowner from Duluth, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their drafty home. One of our Design Specialists, Henry Jungbauer, provided the homeowner with a free, no-obligation estimate after a thorough inspection of the attic. One of our crews, led by Foreman Nick Woods, installed our attic insulation products to thoroughly air-seal and insulate the home.

This Duluth, MN home had an attic that was finished and converted to living space. Unfortunately, it was not effectively insulated and was proving to be uncomfortable in both extreme winter and summer conditions. Looking to for an insulation solution to fix this problem, the homeowners reached out to DBS.

A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the property and conducting an energy audit, it was determined that proper air sealing and a combination of spray foam and rigid foam insulation were necessary to effectively seal the space.

Our production crew first sealed the gaps in building material and spaces surrounding the attic ducts with ZypFoam™. They then laid down TerraBlock™, our foam insulation that is infused with graphite for a higher R-value. From there, they completely sealed the space with closed-cell spray foam, at 3-5 inches depending on the location in the attic. 

Sealing the attic was key to prevent warm air from escaping the home, and improving the overall energy health of the space.
