Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Hibbing, MN has been in the process of renovating their home, and needed help with exterior wall insulation. The homeowner was tired of being cold in their home and DBS was ready to help.

Design Specialist Tabitha Kinnee assisted this homeowner in a free, no-obligation estimate to find the perfect solution for their home. After a careful inspection, Tabitha recommended dense pack TruSoft™ cellulose insulation, as well as, SprayFoam insulation to air seal the home.

Foreman Nicholas Woods II led a team in the installation of this project. Together, the team removed a small section of siding from the exterior of the home and drilled holes in the side in order to blow TruSoft™ insulation into the sides of the home. These holes are then patched up and covered with SprayFoam in order to air seal the area, create a moisture resistant barrier and prevent any air leaks in the home. 

This homeowner will now be able to finish their home renovations and stay warm while doing so.

This homeowner reached out to DBS due to experiencing significant cold drafts in their entryway where they store their coats. When our Design Specialist went out to the property, they recommended using our insulation services to help stop the cold drafts from entering the home. There was also a cabinet above the basement stairs that required new insulation due to old fiberglass that was originally there, which was causing chill drafts both in the entryway and around the house.

When our crew arrived at the property, they spray-foamed the rim joists in the basement and the floors and entryway were instantly warmer!

The owners of this home in Spooner, WI experienced issues with a musty smell coming from their crawl space and cold floors. They noticed insulation ads by DBS around town and reached out in hopes of finding a solution.

Design Specialist Austin Burley went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowners. After a thorough inspection, he advised the owners to encapsulate their crawl space with 3-layers of insulation offered by DBS.

Foreman Raeshawn Pelfrey led the installation of this project with his team. Together they cleared out the crawl space to start with a clean slate. First, they installed a layer of dimpled drainage matting to assist the flow of water underneath the insulation. Next, the crew laid panels of TerraBlock™ foam insulation to prevent frost in the wintertime. To Complete the encapsulation process, they covered the previous layers in a water vapor barrier called CleanSpace®. They also sprayed polyurethane foam insulation over the concrete block walls to completely air-seal the space.

Now that the crawl space has been encapsulated, the homeowners will notice how much warmer their floors are during winter. As a result of this, they will also not need to use as much heat to keep their home comfortable, so their energy bills will decrease significantly as well.

These homeowners in Spooner, WI were experienced cold air intrusion in their homes. They wanted the home sealed off properly so they could enjoy their home properly.

Design Specialist Austin Burley assisted the homeowners in a free, no-obligation estimate to find the best solution for their insulation needs. After a close inspection, Austin provided a quote and recommended SprayFoam insulation for the home's needs.

Foreman Raeshawn led the installation of this project with help from a partner. Together, the team used Dr. Energy Saver SprayFoam to seal the area. This insulation is able to be used as a sealant, blocking off any holes or cracks in the space, and it is also a very effective, permanent insulator. 

These homeowners can now properly enjoy their properly insulated home.

Cabin owners in Sarona, WI wanted to spend the winter living in their cabin. The cabin had some insulation in the crawl space, but it was consistently moist, and was also hosting a family of mice. Knowing they would need a permanent solution to keep their cabin comfortable, they called DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate on our crawl space encapsulation service.

DBS Service Manager Jacob Nustad-Peluso visited the cabin and gave a thorough estimate for the crawl space project. We recommended a full encapsulation which includes a vapor barrier, drainage matting, and insulation. 

DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby is an expert at installing both waterproofing and foundation repair products. He lead a three-person crew to complete this cabin crawl space system. Our team placed drainage matting directly on the dirt crawl space ground, with a CleanSpace® vapor barrier on top. Those two products work together to prevent water from freely collecting and evaporating into the crawl space. 

These customers are now ready to spend a winter in the Wisconsin woods!
