This basement had walls with cracks that were allowing water to come through the wall and enter the basement. We used our CleanSpace matting to create a waterproofed wall. This method also creates a bright white clean look for the basement foundation walls.

This customer had another contractor come in and blow in a bunch of fiberglass insulation. To properly insulate this home we dug through this insulation to find all the major penetrations found and air seal them. Then new attic air chutes need to be installed and the new cellulose blown in over the top of the fiberglass. Then we insulated the entire rim joist. These photos show the difference of how the attic was previously insulated and how we completed a full insulation installation. The home will now be warm and cozy. 

Spray Foam Insulation for Commercial Building in Carlton, MN

The company occupying this building wanted to insulate their building so that they could have better control over the internal climate of the building and they especially wanted to reduce the condensation that was forming on the ceiling and dripping into an area where they stored important chemicals for their work. In a matter of a few short days our crew effectively used spray foam insulation to properly insulate the metal building from the outside elements and eliminate the issue of moisture condensing on the ceiling. 

We've used spray foam in metal buildings for both residential and commercial customers to create a much more comfortable environment for working and storage alike!

Insulation Recommended for Cold and Drafty Carlton, MN Home

These homeowners in Carlton, MN reached out to DBS concerned over issues with their home's overall energy. They were experiencing uncomfortable conditions during winter months, yet paying high energy bills.

A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the insulation project. It was suggested that the rim joists in the basement would be sprayed with closed cell spray foam insulation, and the walls would have our SilverGlo™ insulation. This would seal the space from air and to keep the temperature at a more consistent level all year round.

Supported Needed for Bowing Stone Foundation Wall in Carlton, MN

Homeowners in Carlton, MN had a stone foundation that was typical for the area. The walls have shifted over time as evidenced by the photo. Water was also making its way into the basement. Hoping to find a permanent solution to support the foundation walls, they contacted DBS. 

DBS Sales Manager Royce Bunn was the Design Specialist for this project. He visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation work. Royce proposed that our PowerBrace™ Wall System would be put into place to permanently stabilize the home's foundation. These steel I-beams are zinc-coated and are design to be tightened over time, restoring the wall to its original position.

Cold, drafty bedroom.

This homeowner was looking to fix a cold and drafty bedroom. Upon some research on the internet, the homeowner came across DBS and called to set up their free home energy estimate. System Design Specialist, Ron Sundberg was assigned the task of solving the drafty bedroom problem. He evaluated the home and found that the attic insulation above the bedroom was insufficient. He proposed the homeowner increase the attic’s R-value by using a closed-cell spray foam and adding 15 inches of cellulose insulation on top. The homeowner didn’t want to live in the drafty room in the upcoming winter, so the installation team from DBS begun as soon as they could. The home's attic now has sufficient insulation and the homeowner enjoyed a warm bedroom all winter long.
