Duluth, MN Homeowner Seals Musty Crawl Space with DBS
A homeowner in Duluth, MN had a dirt crawl space under their home that was causing issues. They noted temperature and humidity fluctuations, as well as water pooling beneath the home. To learn more about what steps were needed to properly insluate the home, they reached out to us about our Dr. Energy Saver® services after learning about our company in the local news paper.
A Design Specialist trained in energy-saving solutions visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. A DBS foreman and crew installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier over drainage matting in the dirt crawl space. These two products work together to keep moisture and pests at bay. Our ultra-dense TerraBlock™ foam insulation, as well as closed-cell spray foam, were applied to fully seal and regulate temperature in the space.
The homeowner was happy with the work done, resulting in a great improvement of this home's overall health.
Failing Duluth, MN Attic Improved by Air Sealing and Insulation
This Duluth, MN home has a cathedral-style attic and almost no insulation. Looking to prevent ice dams in the winter and reduce heating bills, the homeowners reached out to DBS for a permanent solution.
A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the property and conducting an energy audit, it was determined that air sealing, and blown-in insulation were necessary to effectively seal the space.
Our production crew first sealed the gaps in building material and spaces surrounding the attic ducts. From there, they used our TruSoft™ cellulose to blow into the space. TruSoft™ has a higher R-value than fiberglass and other cellulose materials.
