Before & After Photos

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. 

A home foundation in Alborn, MN was experiencing cracking throughout the perimeter of the basement area, and the issue needed to be resolved. The homeowner reached out to DBS in order to find a solution. It was concluded that the foundation wall would need the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System installed to properly support the structure. Unlike other PowerBrace™ jobs, this was required a unique "H" design below the staircase in order to properly fit the brace, as shown in the photo. Though this is not something that normally occurs, DBS was able to get the job done, and the results turned out great!

A homeowner in Alborn, MN reached out to DBS regarding the lack of foundation support for their home. They were worried that the lack of support would cause the cabin structure to fail and eventually fall over. In need of a solution, they had a Design Specialist come out to visit and provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the cabin repair. It was decided that the cabin would need to have both helical piers and SmartJacks® installed to properly support and stabilize the structure.
