Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN, had noticed a draft in his home. Try as he might, he could not locate the source of the draft. After weeks of dealing with the issue, it occurred to him that the draft could be coming from the crawl space beneath the home. He took to the internet to search for the 'best crawl space repair near me' and quickly found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nick S, was headed out to the home. 

When Nick arrived, he wasted no time getting down into the crawl space. When he completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to let him know the situation. Nick began by stating that the crawl space was certainly energy inefficient, letting cold and hot air in. Nick wanted to fix the issue with our TerraBlock floor insulation system. Nick explained that our TerraBlock is a durable, long-lasting insulation product designed specifically for crawl space floors to help combat these issues. Able to be installed on uneven floors, this product includes a white vapor barrier that will keep moisture from making its way up through dirt, stone, or concrete crawl space floors. It will seamlessly protect your home, keeping your energy bills low and preventing further problems caused by your crawl space from arising. Nick went on to recommend our Foamax Wall Insulation for the walls of the space. He explained that Foamax is a polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel with a white foil finish on the front and foil vapor barrier on the back. Finally, Nick recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto the unfinished walls of the space, effectively sealing off the space from unwanted water, weather elements, and critters. The homeowner was thrilled with Nick's recommendations and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Diego B, and his team installed 110 sqft of Foamax, 100 sqft of TerraBlock, and 154 sqft of CleanSpace. Now that the job is completed, our homeowner is thrilled to know that his crawl space is functioning efficiently!

A Burrnsville, MN homeowner was concerned about the effects his damp crawl space had on his home and his health, so he contacted the experts at American Waterworks for free consultation and on-site estimate. Jeremy noticed some mold that had built up over time due to excessive moisture that is commonly found in improperly ventilated areas of the home.  

After the mold remediation was complete, We installed a waterproof polystyrene insulation known as SilverGlo to hold back moisture from the crawl space walls.  Any excess moisture build up will then drain underneath a CleanSpace drainage matting system that directs the water flooding into his crawl space to the new SuperSump sump pump system and then removed from the home.  

Chris in New Prague, MN had a dirt crawl space and he was interested in having a vapor barrier installed to save costs on his energy because he knew that he was losing heat through that space. He also was tired of the musty smell that was coming from his crawl space so, he contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, went onsite to inspect his crawl space and create a solution. Dylan developed a thorough solution to solve Chris’ crawl space problems. Chris was pleased with the proposal, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, Foamax walls and our spray foam rim joist insulation. The combination of these crawl space encapsulation products made Chris’ crawl space a dry, clean, and energy efficient space.

Donna S. in New Prague, MN contacted American Waterworks after seeing our advertisement in the newspaper. She was concerned about the water that was leaking through cracks into her basement, and she wanted someone to look at her crawl space. She met with one of our Design Specialists, Ryan Powell, who assured her that we could permanently waterproof her basement with our WaterGuard and TripleSafe waterproofing system. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew began the project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and installing our WaterGuard drainage system and recommended TripleSafe sump pump. Water is now guided through the WaterGuard to the sump pump, and from there is expelled from the home. Next, they removed debris from the crawl space and laid the drainage matting. Then, they completed the project by encapsulating the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier to protect the space from moisture, mold, and pests. Donna was happy with the results, and glad she can enjoy a dry, clean basement and crawl space! 

A homeowner in Forest Lake, MN had moisture in his crawl space, and he was concerned about the damage that was being caused.

We sent on our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to meet with him and evaluate the situation. Shane developed a unique plan to permanently restore this homeowner’s crawl space. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew got to work and removed the debris from the crawl space. They began the project by installing our Drainage matting on the floor of the crawl space and our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. Then, they installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier to completely encapsulate the space and spray foam insulation in the rim joists to prevent energy loss and keep heat in. Lastly, they installed our SaniDry dehumidifier to take care of any humidity. The homeowner is glad his crawl space is now a clean, dry, and more energy-efficient space.
