Before & After Photos

The owners at this home in Cloquet, MN experienced issues with ice dams forming on their roof. This was caused by improper insulation of their attic leading to melted snow on the roof which then froze forming ice dams. Hoping to find a more effective and efficient way to insulate their home, the owners called DBS.

Design Specialist Austin Burley visited the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After completing a thorough inspection, he informed the owners of DBS's attic insulation process which consists of sealing all crevices and holes with ZypFoam™ insulation and filling the attic with 17 inches of Tru-Soft™ cellulose blown insulation.

Foreman Nick Woods led the installation of this project and with the help of a team, sealed all of the spaces where warm air was able to leak into the attic with ZypFoam™. Then they covered the attic floor with Tru-Soft™ cellulose blown insulation to properly insulate the attic and sealed the staircase entrance with SilverGlo™-- innovative insulation with a built-in vapor barrier to prevent warm air from leaking through. Now that the attic of this Cloquet, MN home has been properly insulated, it will stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer without ever having to replace any doors or windows.

The homeowners can now relax more comfortably in their homes all year round and not worry about ice dams ruining their roofing and gutters.
