Home Insulation Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Hermantown, MN was worried about the condition of their crawlspace. Frozen pipes and critters were big concerns, so the owner reached out to DBS for help.

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer assisted this homeowner in a free, no-obligation estimate. After his thorough inspection, Henry recommended SprayFoam insulation to help address these concerns. 

Foreman Evan LaFontaine led a team in the installation of this project. To begin the project, the team removed any old, unwanted insulation in order to expose the cracks and holes letting in unwanted airflow. Next, the team used SprayFoam insulation to seal these spots and then added a thorough layer across the entirety of the walls. Finally, the team used the CleanSpace® water vapor barrier on the floor of the crawl space to add a moisture barrier, as well as a clean finish. 

This homeowner can now relax knowing their crawl space is safe and healthy. 

Homeowners in Duluth, MN reached out to us for help with eliminating Ice Dams. 

One of our Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialists went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Hunter measured airflow in the attic and concluded that closed cell spray foam was the best solution to combat heat loss. The foreman and his production crew installed the spray foam.

This home is now properly insulated with reduced risk for ice dam formation!

A Duluth homeowner had been dealing with severe and recurring ice dams each winter, prompting them to contact DBS for a permanent way to minimize these issues. The attic exhibited little to no insulation levels, hence the ice dams, and was completely inefficient and uncomfortable. Overseeing his crew in the insulation installation was Nick Woods, one of our foremen. The team started by strategically placing baffles to establish a continuous airflow and uphold proper venting. Then, a combination of closed-cell polyurethane and TruSoft cellulose blown-in foam was applied to the attic floor. To enhance energy efficiency, a layer of SilverGlo was incorporated along the attic deck, and the chimney was effectively wrapped. The process was finished by air-sealing and insulating the attic access point. With these insulation measures, along with the additional work undertaken, the homeowner can ensure that the home's ice dam issues will be significantly diminished.

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.
