This customer had another contractor come in and blow in a bunch of fiberglass insulation. To properly insulate this home we dug through this insulation to find all the major penetrations found and air seal them. Then new attic air chutes need to be installed and the new cellulose blown in over the top of the fiberglass. Then we insulated the entire rim joist. These photos show the difference of how the attic was previously insulated and how we completed a full insulation installation. The home will now be warm and cozy.
The company occupying this building wanted to insulate their building so that they could have better control over the internal climate of the building and they especially wanted to reduce the condensation that was forming on the ceiling and dripping into an area where they stored important chemicals for their work. In a matter of a few short days our crew effectively used spray foam insulation to properly insulate the metal building from the outside elements and eliminate the issue of moisture condensing on the ceiling.
We've used spray foam in metal buildings for both residential and commercial customers to create a much more comfortable environment for working and storage alike!
A homeowner in Carlton, MN reached out to DBS regarding a need for better home insulation. The drafty home had an attic that allowed cold air to flow about the area, cuasing high energy bills. Luckily, they contacted DBS, and we were able to provide the home with our spray foam insulation service. This better protects the area from cold drafts and ensures a more warm and comfortable living environment,
These business owners in Carlton, MN reached out to DBS for help insulating their warehouse and office buildings.
A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the property and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. An energy audit was conducted and heat loss was measured in every area of the business. To dramatically reduce heating and cooling costs closed cell spray foam was recommended. Closed cell spray foam is very effective for temperature control and will seal off areas like rim joists and windows. This results in lower heating and cooling costs along with reduced allergens entering the building. A DBS Foreman and their production crew worked hard to install the insulation.
This building is now healthy, safe, and comfortable!
Homeowners in Carlton, MN had lived in their home since the 1970's. Wanting to improve their energy efficiency and get rid of draft rooms and cold floors, they contacted 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 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. Our crews then applied spray foam areas prone to air leaking to completely seal off the home.
Sealing the attic was key to prevent warm air from escaping the home, and improving the overall energy health of the space.
