Before & After

Aitkin, MN Cabin Crawlspace Encapsulated to Improve Energy

This Aitkin, MN cabin owner identified a low area in their crawlspace that was collecting water in the spring and after heavy rains. They noted temperature and humidity fluctuations as well and wanted the dirt floor crawl space sealed.

DBS Design Specialist and waterproofing expert Rich Johnsen visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. It was determined that both the crawl space would need to be totally encapuslated in order to keep moisture at bay and regular temperature and energy in the reast of the cabin.

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. To further prevent moisture and the growth of mold, closed-cell spray foam was applied to fully seal and regulate temperature in the space. 

The space was topped off with an UltraSump™ sump pump that has a battery backup system, providing protection and peace of mind when you have a pump failure or power outage.

The homeowner was happy with the work done, resulting in a great improvement of this home's overall health.
