The "before" image illustrates the initial condition of their crawl space, posing potential risks to the cabin's structure and safety. Aligned with our mission, we delivered a high-quality solution by implementing our SmartJack® system.

A homeowner in Hovland, MN reached out to DBS regarding the crawl space of their home. The area was old and dirty, and also prone to moisture. This was concerning for the owner, as it can cause damage and raise health issues.

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the crawl space encapsulation service. It was determined that the crawl space would need to have CleanSpace® installed to act as a vapor barrier for the area. Foreman Casey Healy and crew laid the vapor barrier throughout the space to prevent any further moisture issues.

This customer came to us expressing a need for an improved crawlspace on the cabin the had just recently bought. Knowing this was just a seasonal cabin for them, they wanted insulation for when they are there in the cold on occasion. One of our design specialists visited the house to provide a free, no-obligation, estimate. After a thorough inspection, it was decided that spray foam was the way to go.

One of our foremen led his group in this installation. They removed all debris, bagged it, and removed it from the site. From there they removed any remaining old insulation and fiberglass, and sprayed over the floor joists and duct pipe. After the job was done, this customer was able to enjoy there seasonal cabin year round and left the experience with a WOW impression.

This Aitkin, MN home was built in the 1980's. For the last 5-10 years the homeowner noticed some changes in the energy efficiency of the home. During winter months, there were ice dam buildups. In order to protect their new metal roof from ice damage, they knew they needed a permanent solution.

Our Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist Jacob Nustad-Peluso visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the insulation work. Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew first removed old fireglass batting and insulation. Next, they applied a layer of closed-cell spray foam to air seal the attic floor and once cured, they covered the floor with our Tru-Soft™ cellulose.

Additionally, our team covered a wall that was prone to air leaking with SilverGlo™ rigid insulation, and wrapped the chiminey in rock wool to better seal the entire attic.

This homeowner now has a more comfortable home, as well as a permanent solution for protecting their new metal roof.
