Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

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.  

Denise H. in Saint Paul, MN was experiencing high humidity in her dirt crawl space and she noticed bugs were entering through that space because it was not encapsulated. Denise wanted to make her crawl space healthier and more energy-efficient, so she contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, went onsite to inspect her crawl space and develop a personalized solution. Denise was impressed with our products and Jeremy’s thorough plan, so she chose to move forward with the encapsulation.

Our production team removed the debris from her crawl space and leveled the dirt as best as they could. Then, they installed a SmartDrain and condensation pump. They laid our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the floor and FoamMax walls panels along to walls. Lastly, they sprayed the rim joists with our spray foam insulation and they installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. The combination of these waterproofing and encapsulation systems makes the crawl space a dry, energy-efficient, and healthier space. Denise was very pleased with the finished product and was thrilled with how hard working our crew was!

A Woodbury, MN, homeowner had noticed a foul odor wafting through her home. She had no idea where the smell was coming from but was growing tired of it. She had suspicions that the odor was coming from the crawl space beneath the home but wasn't sure what to look for. She decided to find a contractor specializing in crawl space repairs in Minnesota. When she found our website, she signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Ryan P, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. 

Ryan began his estimate inspection by getting down into the crawl space and then inspecting the rest of the home. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, Ryan urged the homeowner to consider installing our Foamax wall panels. Ryan explained that insulating your basement or crawl space walls with Foamax provides comfort and energy bill savings while making the walls look clean and bright. These advanced foam insulation panels reduce condensation for exceptional moisture protection. In addition to Foamax, Ryan recommended our CleanSpace and drainage matting. Ryan elaborated, saying that our CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly to the unfinished walls of the basement and works to keep water entering from the wall off of the basement floor. The drainage matting is a dimpled mat that goes down on the crawl space floor before the CleanSpace, giving the water a channel to flow freely out of the space. The homeowner was thrilled, and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Arturo M, and his team effortlessly installed 170 sqft of Foamax, 362 ft of CleanSpace, and 290 sqft of Drainage Matting. Now, our customer can enjoy her home free of odors from a damp crawl space!
