Before & After Photos

This Beaver Bay crawl space was vented which allowed the unconditioned air from the outdoors to freely enter under the home. In the winter these vents could be shut, but it was not providing an air tight seal necessary to block out the cold winter air. To fix this issue when we encapsulated the crawl space we filled the vent area with insulation and used spray foam insulation to seal the space and prevent air from leaking through. 

This crawl space was obviously quite dusty and with several vents and protrusions to the home above this area the musty smells and dusty air were easily entering the home. DBS Residential Solutions was able to remedy the situation present in this damp crawl space by insulating and encapsulating the entire crawl space. This process separated the home from the dirt floor below. 

This crawl space had issues with water. The home itself was on the bottom of a slope and water would sometimes gather in the crawl space. Standing water creates a very damp crawl space atmosphere which contributes to mold, musty smells, and rot. This nasty crawl space required a complete encapsulation to seal it away from the problems it was facing. Underneath our CleanSpace matting in the corner of this crawl space we have installed a sump pump to prevent water from gathering and causing further issues with the home. This completed system brings new life to a home that may have eventually felt the effects of mold and rot if not handled properly. 

This homeowner in Holyoke, MN was never too concerned about the quality of his crawl space. Once he learned about the effects of a poor crawl space, he decided to do something about it. After doing some research, he found DBS and reached out to them to set up an appointment to have a system design specialist come evaluate his home. Following a brief friendly phone conversation with the office staff, an appointment was set to have DBS’ home comfort specialist make a trip out to the home for a free no obligation estimate. The specialist did a thorough inspection of the home and explained to the homeowner the best possible solution. First, the crawl space should be cleaned and the old insulation should be removed before the new installation could begin. To best insulate the space, SilverGlo™ high-performance graphite insulation should be installed on the crawl space walls. Then, each rim joist should be spray foamed throughout the entire crawl space which would further eliminate any cool drafts from entering the home. This top of the line solution would leave the homeowner with a clean, warm and dry crawl space. After the specialist and homeowner came to a comfortable price agreement, a date was set to have the production crew professionally complete the installation. This great solution left the home with a higher level of energy efficiency and a clean dry crawl space.
