A Wet Crawlspace in Aitkin MN

Gregg P. had enough of his low, wet crawlspace. With it's typical dirt floor and vents all around, the crawlspace would get wet in the spring and summer. He called a few contractors to get a couple of proposals that he could compare. After reviewing them, he chose DBS Residential Solutions to encapsulate his crawlspace and solve is issue. 

The major parts of the crawlspace encapsulation included a perimeter draintile, TerraBlock Insulation, Dimple Drainage Matting, Cleanspace, and a Super Sump and Ice Guard. Each piece plays an important part in the Cadillac crawlspace system. The draintile moves any water straight into the SuperSump, which sends it outside through the IceGuard, which doesn't freeze in the winter! The TerraBlock insulation is laid down over the dirt, the first step in separating the cold damp earth from the living quarters. The dimple drainage matting is laid next to ensure that any water leaks is lead into the draintile, taking it out of the area. The Cleanspace is laid last, keeping everything hidden and clean beneath a beautiful white anti bacterial plastic.

Since DBS Residential Solutions has finished his crawlspace, Gregg has been able to enjoy an area that most homeowners don't. Should he choose, his crawlspace is ready to be used as storage! DBS was glad they were able to help out.

Project Location: Aitkin, MN
I contacted your company last summer and got a free estimate done. Due to financial reasons, I was not able to follow through with the project. I was hoping to open the case back up and possibly have someone come out and take another look at my foundation in order to get it fixed. I have one wall that is bowed and cracked, and the opposite wall is cracked and leaking a small amount of water in. The other two are minimally affected at this point, but there has been more water coming inside through the bowed wall this past summer so I would like to get something done as soon as I can in order to fix this problem as much as possible.
