Before & After Photos

DBS received a call that a home in Deer River, MN looking to reduce the mold and mold odors in their home. The home had trouble with water and humidity, prior to calling us. The moisture created unwanted mold and mildew smells. DBS went to the home and quickly created a solution, our Design specialist, Royce Bunn, created a proposal to install a dehumidifying system and a CleanSpace® high-performance moisture barrier. We added some insulation and a drainage system to make sure the basement maintains a waterproof atmosphere, preventing mold in the future.

The owner of this home in Deer River, MN reached out to DBS for help with their nasty, wet, cold crawl space.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After the inspection, the Design Specialist generated a quote for our CleanSpace® and SilverGlo® insulation.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this job with assistance from a crew. Together they installed a CleanSpace® water vapor barrier along the vertical walls in the crawl space. The crew also installed SilverGlo® rigid foam insulation panels along the walls in order to provide a layer of insulation to the space.

Now that the crawl space has been waterproofed and insulated, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.
