Home Insulation Before & After Photos

This home in Deer River, MN needed some assistance with the condition of the crawl space. Wanting to encapsulate the area, the homeowners trusted DBS to help find a long-lasting, effective solution for their home.

A DBS Design Specialist assisted the homeowners with a free, no-obligation estimate. After completing a careful inspection, our SprayFoam insulation was recommended, along with the rest of our encapsulation services.

Design Specialist Nicholas Woods II led the team in this installation. They used DES SprayFoam insulation to coat the walls of the crawlspace to avoid any airflow sneaking into the area. Then, the team used CleanSpace for a clean finish and to allow the space to be used as a safe, dry storage area.

With these solutions, this crawlspace is now clean, warm, and ready for use if needed.

Design Specialist Austin Burley went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issue. After a thorough inspection, Austin informed the owner of insulation products offered by DBS and how they would benefit their home.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they first cleared out the old fiberglass batting insulation from the attic. Next, they air-sealed the space by applying a waterproof polyurethane spray foam to the floorboards. Finally, they blew in 17 inches of Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation. Tru-Soft™ is made of recyclable material like newspaper and is treated with a borate solution for fire-retardancy and pest repellant. 

Now that the home has been properly insulated, the homeowner can relax comfortably in their energy-efficient and warmer home.
