Home Insulation Photo Album: Longville, MN Home Has Much-Needed Insulation Installed
A homeowner in Longville, MN was feeling the effects of their poorly insulated home. They noted temperature and humidity fluctuations, as well as cold floors during winter months, producing high energy bills. To learn more about what steps were needed to properly insluate the home, they reached out to us about our Dr. Energy Saver® services.
A Design Specialist trained in energy-saving solutions visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. It was determined that both the crawl space and attic needed attention. A DBS foreman and crew installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier over drainage matting in the dirt crawl space. These two products work together to keep moisture and pests at bay. To further prevent moisture and the growth of mold, closed-cell spray foam was applied to fully seal and regulate temperature in the space.
For the attic, our team first removed the existing insultion and proceeded in air sealing the entire space. Afterwards, they replaced the blown-in insulation using cellulose, which has an incredible R-value.
The homeowner was happy with the work done, resulting in a great improvement of this home's overall health.
