When a homeowner in Duluth, MN, contacted us at DBS for help with insulating their home, they were looking for an efficient and reliable solution. The project focused on insulating the rim joist and a small entry area using SprayFoam. This small area, measuring 5x7 feet, included a window that occupied half of one wall. The homeowner took the initiative to remove the siding to provide access and planned to reinstall the sheetrock after our work was completed.

Our team ensured that every inch of the specified areas was thoroughly insulated. We sprayed foam under the entryway floor and the underside of the roof, where there was no ceiling at the time. In the basement, we insulated about half of the rim joist, as the other half was already filled with concrete. Despite the small size of the house and the added entry, we ensured that the foam application was precise and effective.

Our efficient and thorough approach left the homeowner with improved insulation, enhancing the overall comfort and energy efficiency of their home. 

Duluth, MN homeowners wanted to seal their dirt crawl space. It had very little insulation, causing cold conditions for the room above it. But their biggest issues was the musty smell. It was present year-round in their living space. Concerned about health implications of smelling mold, they contacted DBS for a permanent solution.

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer is an expert in energy-saving solutions and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, Henry drafted a custom-plan to seal this dirt crawl space and protect the home above it.

Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew installed drainage matting and CleanSpace® vapor barrier. The drainage matting helps water properly drain from the space. In turn, the vapor barrier prevents condensation in the wet dirt from evaporating into the air and traveling up into the living space.

Our crew finished the encapsulation job by using spray foam to seal and insulate the crawl space rim joists. This will prevent cold air from entering the crawl space and cooling the living space above it.

The homeowner was happy with the work done, and now has a solid solution to protect their home year-round.
