Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Superior, WI were experiencing sagging floors and water issues due to their home's crawl space.  After meeting DBS at the Duluth Home Show, they decided to take the step to find a permanent solution to the problem. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the crawl space encapsulation work and foundation support.

DBS Foreman Kevin Steffey and his production team first installed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier to completely seal the space from moisture. 6 Smart Jacks were installed to support the sinking ceiling in the home's crawl space and partial basement. They also installed a SmartDrain to direct water out of the space and finished the job by using spray foam to insulate the perimeter and rim joists of the crawl space. 

This crawl space is now completely sealed and supported putting the homeowners at ease.

Longtime homeowners in Superior, WI were having issues with the settling of their crawl space. Sagging support beams were causing the floor of the home's main level to sink. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the support work in the crawl space. It was determined that the crawl space would have SmartJack® support beams installed to lift and support the sagging crawl space ceiling.

DBS Foreman Kevin Steffey and production crew installed 4 Smart Jack® support beams to restore the crawl space and provide proper support to the rest of the home. 

This homeowner had previously had waterproofing and GeoLock™ Wall Anchors installed by DBS and was looking to install Silver Glo Foam vertically up against the exterior wall and install a buried discharge line for the sump pump.

DBS Foreman, Osia Williams, and his Co-Foreman, Rowan Wentworth, worked hard to complete the job. They excavated around the house and the previously installed GeoLocks™, installed the Silver Glo Foam along the walls, and backfilled with sand and the dirt they excavated earlier. After they backfilled they installed the sump pump discharge line.

These homeowners in Superior, Wisconsin reached out to DBS for help making their front porch energy efficient so they can spend time in it all year round. In past years the homeowners used two electric heaters to keep the space heated during Wisconsin's harsh winters. They were ready for a permanent solution when they called DBS!

A DBS Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the current insulation and utilizing heat mapping technology it was evident there were many air leaks and weak points in the existing insulation. The solution was a hybrid attic system that utilized closed cell spray foam to seal off air leaks and applying 18 inches of blown cellulose insulation on the attic floor. The sides of the home were dense-packed with blown insulation to keep outdoor air from entering the home. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew.

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable! 

A homeowner in Superior, WI had a dirt crawl space that was prone to wetness. Concerned about how this was affecting the humidity and temperature in the rest of their home, they reached out to us about our Dr. Energy Saver services. 

A Design Specialist trained in energy-saving solutions, visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. It was recommended that a CleanSpace® vapor barrier be laid over drainage matting. These two products work together to direct water away from the crawl space, preventing moisture and the growth of mold. Additionally, a SmartSump™ was put into place.

The DBS Foreman and production crew installed these products resulting in a great improvement of this home's overall health.
