Home Insulation Before & After Photos

This Luck, WI home had been in the family for generations. They were a few structural issues in the dirt crawl space that were causing concern, namely some shifting support beams as well as wet conditions in the space. Wanting to protect the home as much as possible against moisture and fluctuating weather year-round, they reached out to DBS about our crawl space encapsulation and support service.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo is an expert in energy-saving solutions and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. Foreman Zach Jorenby lead installation of 6 SmartJack® supports to raise the sinking home supports.  Nick Woods II and his production crew installed closed-cell spray foam to better regulate temperature in the space. 

The homeowner was happy with the work done, and now has a solid solution to protect their home against foundation shifting and low winter time temperatures.

This Stone Lake, WI home was built in 1997. First used as a lake home, this family transitioned to living there year-round. The wintertime made their upper levels cold and drafty, and caused certain rooms to heat up in the summertime as well. Looking for a permanent solution to make their home more comfortable year-round, they reached out to DBS for a permanent solution.

Henry Jungbauer is our Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist and went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate. After inspecting the property and conducting an energy audit, it was determined that air sealing and blown-in insulation were necessary to effectively seal and insulate the space.

Our production crew first removed the existing fiberglass insulation and sealed the gaps in building material and spaces surrounding the attic ducts with a layer of closed-cell spray foam. From there, they blew-in a heavy layer of our TruSoft™ cellulose into the space. TruSoft™ has a higher R-value than fiberglass and other cellulose materials and will work wonders to protect the space. 

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

This Grand Rapids, MN home had insufficient insulation in the attic. This lead to drafty conditions in the entire home as well as issues with ice dams in the wintertime. Looking for a permanent solution to make their home more comfortable year-round, they reached out to DBS for a permanent solution.

Our Service Manager Jacob was the Design Specialist for the project. Upon visiting the home, he provided a free, no-obligation estimate. After inspecting the property and conducting an energy audit, it was determined that air sealing and blown-in insulation were necessary to effectively seal and insulate the space.

Nick Woods II and his attic insulation crew began this project by first removing the existing fiberglass insulation. They then sealed the gaps in building material and spaces surrounding the attic ducts with a layer of closed-cell spray foam. From there, they blew-in a heavy layer of our TruSoft™ cellulose into the space. TruSoft™ has a higher R-value than fiberglass and other cellulose materials and will work wonders to protect the space. Finally, they targeted the entrances to the attic and created radiant barriers using SilverGlo™ insulation.

Sealing the attic from the rest of the living space was key in preventing warm air from escaping the home, and improved overall energy efficiency, and health of the space. 

This cabin in Canyon, MN was only used during the summer months. The owners were planning to transition to living there year-round, but knew they would need to winterize the cabin.

Our Service Manager Jacob Nustad-Peluso was the Design Specialist for this project. He visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate, inspecting the cabin's attic and crawl space. After inspecting the property and conducting an energy audit, it was determined that air sealing and blown-in insulation were necessary to effectively winterize the cabin.

DBS Foreman Nick Woods II and his crew performed the work crawl space air sealing and installed attic insulation. Our production crew first removed the existing fiberglass insulation and sealed the gaps in building material and spaces surrounding the attic ducts with a layer of closed-cell spray foam. From there, they blew-in a heavy layer of our TruSoft™ cellulose into the space. TruSoft™ has a higher R-value than fiberglass and other cellulose materials and will work wonders to protect the space. 

For the crawl space, our team removed debris, and applied a MoldX2 Botanical™ to the moldy wooden support beams. From there, they used SilverGlo™ insulation on the crawl space foundation walls, and spray foam to seal the rim joists.

Sealing and insulating the crawl space and attic was key to prevent warm air from escaping the home, and improves the overall energy-efficiency and health of the space. 

Homeowners in Duluth, MN had issues with cold and drafty rooms in their home. Uncomfortable conditions paired with ice dams on the roof prompted them to contact DBS.
