CleanSpace Encapsulates Home in Nevis, MN

Tuesday, June 6th, 2023 by Ella Wiebusch

Challenge

Joe, a homeowner in Nevis, MN, realized that his crawl spaces needed some attention. Crawl space insulation is important. A number of comfort and energy problems are caused by inadequate or incorrect crawl space insulation. Specifically, with musty smells, mold, and moisture issues, Joe decided he needed to call American Waterworks for a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Kole, headed to the property for an inspection of each of the three crawl spaces.

Following the inspection, Kole made his recommendations and answered all questions, and Joe made an appointment for the implementation of solutions.

Solution

Our Foreman, Arturo, and his crew began the project by clearing debris and readying the spaces for installation. They then went to work installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier to address water Issues. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic barrier that gets installed right onto the problem walls, and works to catch water entering the space through cracks and holes in the wall. This also reduces the home's chances of being exposed to radon. The crew also used spray foam to seal and waterproof the homeowner's crawl space. Our spray foam is designed to keep the heat inside and prevent cool air from coming in. Joe was grateful for the support and guidance of American Waterworks in protecting his home!
