Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Kathy F. of Inver Grove Heights wanted her crawl space encapsulated, so she requested a FREE Estimate with our company. Our Design Specialist, Dustin, went to Kathy's home, carefully inspected her crawl space, and determined a solution that worked for her and her needs. She was confident in Dustin's proposal of our CleanSpace Encapsulation System and our Foamax Wall Panels, so she signed the contract. 

Our Foreman, Jose, and his team began the project by installing our Foamax Wall Panels around the crawl space wall perimeter, which is a special foam insulation that makes the basement warmer, brightens the space, and drain wall leaks into the drainage system. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier throughout the floor of the crawl space. The purpose of this barrier is to keep the crawl space dry, protect the structure from wood rot and mold, and seal away smelly odors. Kathy was happy with the work and was grateful for the extra storage space!

Caitlin, a resident of Waldorf, MN, realized that her crawl space needed some attention. Crawl space insulation is important, as a number of comfort and energy problems are caused by inadequate or incorrect crawl space insulation. Specifically, with musty smells, mold, and moisture issues, Caitlin decided she needed to call American Waterworks for a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Eric, headed to the property to inspect the crawl space.

Following the inspection, Eric made his recommendations and answered all questions, and an appointment was made to implement solutions.

Our Foreman and his crew began the project by clearing debris and readying the spaces for installation. They then installed 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. Next the team added our SmartDrain, which helps fully waterproof the crawl space. 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. Finally, our team added an Aprilaire dehumidifier, which creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days when set to 50% relative humidity. Now, Caitlin's crawlspace is protected, and we improved her peace of mind.

Peter K. in Dresser, WI had a dirt crawl space that was creating a musty smell in his home because of the moisture in that space. He also noticed that his energy bill was high and felt that energy was being lost from that space. He contacted American Waterworks to learn more about our crawl space encapsulation services. We sent a Design Specialist to inspect the crawl space and design the best solution. Peter was pleased with our proposal and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our production crew removed the debris from the crawl space and installed the drainage matting and our CleanSpace vapor barrier system on the dirt floor and the sides of the crawl space. This helps to keep pests and moisture out, which reduces humidity. Peter was pleased with the result and is glad he can enjoy a stable, healthier crawl space for years to come!

Nick P. of Lakeville, MN had water leaking in his crawl space, making him worry about the value of his home, especially if he ends up selling it. After seeing us in his local newspaper, he called our office and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Shane went to his home, inspected the problem, and came up with a solution. Nick was comfortable with Shane's proposal, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production team installed 525 feet of our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier, which is made to prevent mold and humidity build-up and serves as an extra protectant. It also gives the space a neat and clean appearance. Nick was happy with the work and had a remarkable experience from start to finish! 

This beautiful crawl space transformation comes to us from Webster, MN.  Originally lined with rock, it was time for a transformation to keep moisture out in the summer and heat in during the winter.  In just one day, American Waterworks was able to install our most trusted TripleSafe sump pump, CleanSpace high-performance moisture barrier and drainage matting system to align with the homeowner's waterproofing and energy efficiency goals.
