Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Sturgeon Lake, MN reached out to DBS for information on crawlspace waterproofing after meeting us at the Duluth Home Show. Design Specialist Rich Johnsen provided a free, no-obligation estimate which resulted in a plan of action for waterproofing and odor reduction for the home. A DBS Foreman and his crew cleaned and prepped the space before installing CleanSpace® waterproofing material in the crawlspace. The house now has a safe, dry and clean crawlspace.  

A home in Saginaw, MN was experiencing an issue with their crawl space. The area was poorly insulated, which resulted in a draft carrying throughout the home, and the cost to heat the place was through the roof. The homeowner reached out to DBS in need of a solution. Fortunately, a crew was able to encapsulate the crawl space with the vapor barrier system. Proper spray foam insulation was installed, and all the small openings were sealed off, followed by a durable liner covering the area. The transformation turned out great, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more comfortable living space.

In Culver, MN, a homeowner fears – a moisture-laden crawl space affecting the integrity and comfort of the living space above. The flooring above was warping, slipping into disrepair as seen in the striking before photo. Our goal was to transform the damp crawlspace into a dry, sturdy foundation for future generations. Our crew meticulously removed debris, regraded the crawl castors, and added our defensive elements such as drainage matting and the efficient TerraBlock for padding. In the after photo, you can see the transformation of an encapsulated crawl space sealed tight with CleanSpace technology, guarded by SilverGlow insulation, all held firm by the unyielding strength of SmartJack support systems. This crawl space now stands as a testament to our dedication to turning troubled into tranquil, ensuring peace of mind and stability for the happy homeowner.

Notice in the before photo the gloomy and damp ambiance of a crawlspace in Cromwell, MN – a space that troubled the homeowner with mold and odorous concerns, fearing water damage to their building materials. However, as the after photo vividly demonstrates, our intervention transformed it into a dry, healthy environment. Utilizing our SaniDry™ Sedona for powerful dehumidification, CleanSpace® wall system to protect and isolate, IceGuard® to prevent overflows during freezing, and a SmartSump™ pump system for superior water mitigation, we not only addressed the immediate worries but also ensured a long-lasting, worry-free solution.

A concerned homeowner in Cromwell, MN, sought a permanent solution to eliminate mold, odors, and water intrusion in their crawlspace. Worried about the potential health risks and structural damage, they turned to DBS Residential Solutions for help.
