Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Joe, a homeowner in Nevis, MN, realized that his crawl spaces needed some attention. 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.

 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!

Tom A. of Ottertail, MN was looking for a contractor that could seal his crawl space. He saw our crawl space commercial on television, so he called our office line and got a FREE estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to Tom's home, carefully examined his crawl space, and determined the solution of our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier. Tom was confident in our proposal, so he got a date scheduled for the installation of the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team installed 825 feet of our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, which is designed to prevent mold growth, humidity, and water moisture from coming into his crawl space. It also gives the crawl space a bright, clean appearance. Tom was happy with the outcome of the project!

For this job, we headed out to Perham, MN, where we assisted a customer who was having issues with bowing wood and water in their crawl space. Our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property and was able to recommend solutions for both of the issues. To address the bowing wood, Richie suggested they have several SmartJacks installed under the main beam of the floorboard. Our SmartJacks have the option to be tightened over time, making it the ideal solution for homeowners who need a long-term fix. Richie suggested our CleanSpace waterproofing encapsulation be installed in the crawl space to keep it dry and energy-efficient. Another excellent project completed by Richie, our Foreman Cameron, and his team!

A customer from Perham, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice that his crawl space was causing issues with his home. When he called in, he noted that he was experiencing unwanted water in the space along with a sinking floor from the room above. He had concerns that if he left the issue unresolved, it would result in damage being done to the structure of the home which would cost more to fix down the road. We set him up with our FREE estimate and our Design Specialist, Richie N headed out to the property to assess the situation. Once Richie had completed his thorough walkthrough, he made several recommendations as to how we could help. First, Richie wanted to wrap the space in our CleanSpace vapor barrier, which is a tarp-like material that traps water and helps deposit it to the appropriate location. Second, Richie recommended our AprilAire dehumidifier, one of the most elite self-draining dehumidifiers on the market. Finally, Richie wanted to address the sagging floor by using our Support Jacks, which are adjustable supplemental support systems used specifically for sagging crawl spaces and can restore them to their original position. Our customer agreed with the suggestions and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew worked quickly to install 12 of our SmartJack support jacks and 1030 sqft of CleanSpace throughout the crawl space, and finished off the job by installing one of our Aprilaire dehumidifiers. Once completed, our customer was happy to know that he didn't need to worry about the structural integrity of his home any longer! 

Jeff B. of Park Rapids, MN wanted his crawl space encapsulated, so he did some research online and came across our website. After seeing some of our projects online, he called our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our team. Our Design Specialist, Ian, went to Jeff's home to inspect his crawl space and draw up a solution for our CleanSpace Encapsulation and Foamax Wall Panels. Jeff was appreciative of Ian's time and was confident in our system, so he got a date scheduled for installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production team began the process by installing our Foamax Wall Panels around the crawl space wall perimeter. Our Foamax provides comfort and energy bill savings while giving the walls a clean and bright appearance. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Moisture Barrier throughout the floor of the crawl space. This barrier prevents wood rot, mold, and mildew while keeping the crawl space dry and protecting the house structure. Along with that, it seals away smelly odors, increases the value of the home, and provides extra storage space. Jeff was happy with the work and could not believe the transformation!
