Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A local church in Emerado, ND, was completing annual inspections when they discovered their foundation was struggling. Worried this could cause major, long-term damage, the homeowner searched for professional assistance. During their search, the homeowner came across the best foundation repair company in North Dakota, American Waterworks. The homeowner took a closer look at the projects we have serviced and knew we were the company for their job. After signing up for their FREE estimate, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ian, to complete the project. Ian arrived at the church and began his detailed inspection. Once he completed the inspection, Ian found several issues regarding the foundation and crawl space. Ian recommended permanently stabilizing the foundation and fully encapsulating the crawl space. Knowing these fixes were necessary, the church agreed with Ians' suggestions. Once they were approved by the office, the plans were sent to our Foreman, Kingsley, and his crew. After they received the stamp of approval, the crew traveled to the home and began the project. Kingsley and his crew started by cleaning out all the debris from the crawl space. Once the debris was cleared, the crew installed 36 SmartJacks throughout the crawl space. Next, the crew put seven GeoLock Wall Anchors into place. The crew shifted their focus to encapsulating the crawl space. First, the crew began by installing Draintile around the perimeter and interior foundation. Then, the crew installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump in the western corner of the crawl space. Next, the crew placed Drainage Matting on the floor and installed CleanSpace over top. Additionally, CleanSpace was installed on several columns and obstructions throughout the crawl space. Once the CleanSpace was installed, the crew installed Foamax on the perimeter walls and over the openings in the foundation. The crew successfully installed all the products throughout the crawl space, so they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The church was relieved to know their foundation was permanently stabilized and the crawl space was properly encapsulated. American Waterworks is happy to provide its customers peace of mind. 

Water seepage through crawl space floors and walls is a problem that many homes encounter. If it is left untouched by the homeowner, the crawl space can be damaged by termites, mold, and wood rot. However, problems like these can be prevented by getting an effective encapsulation and waterproofing system installed. 

Homeowners in Marion, ND were seeing this similar issue in their crawl space. They did some research online and came across our website on Google, and were impressed with the services that we provide. They decided to give our office staff a call and schedule their FREE, no-obligation estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to the homeowner's house, carefully inspected their crawl space, and determined a solution that would work for them and their needs. The homeowners were confident in our proposal of our Aprilaire Dehumidifier, Foamax Wall Panels, and our CleanSpace Encapsulation System, so they signed the contract and followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by introducing themselves to the homeowners and ensuring all of their questions were answered. After a thorough introduction, our team got to work and began the installation by installing our Foamax Wall Panels around the crawl space wall perimeter. Our Foamax is a special foam insulation barrier that makes the crawl space warmer, saves money on energy costs, and prevents water from seeping through the walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier to seal the entire crawl space, which is used to transform the crawl space into a clean, dry, and energy-efficient part of the home. The last system our team installed was our Aprilaire with its hanging kit. Our Aprilaire Dehumidifier provides healthy air and reduces viruses and contaminants. The homeowners were thrilled with the work and were beautified by the transformation!

Jen N. of Oslo, MN had a musty crawl space and she wanted to get it encapsulated with a vapor barrier. She knew of our Design Specialist, Ian, so she asked him about our services.

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production team installed a drainage matting followed by 1,032 square feet of our CleanSpace Encapsulation Moisture Barrier. Along with protection from mold and wood rot, our CleanSpace prevents insects, termites, and other pests. Along with that, it saves money on energy bills and provides additional storage space to the home. Our drainage matting provides extra durability and it drains water away from invading the crawl space. The project took about two days to complete, and Jen was delighted with the work!

Larry, a homeowner in Langdon, ND, was growing more concerned about his wet crawl space. If a crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, issues can extend to all parts of the home. He wanted to understand why it was happening, ensure the issue was corrected, and restore peace of mind moving forward. After deciding on our company, we set Larry up with a FREE inspection. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he made recommendations as to how American Waterworks could help. Our customer agreed with the recommendations, and work began shortly after. 

First, under the direction of one of our Fargo Foremen the team removed the insulation currently in the crawlspace. Then, after cleaning the space, they went ahead with installing Foamax insulated wall panels and spray foam around the rim joists. The Foamax provides comfort and energy bill savings, while making the walls look clean and bright. The spray foam seals and waterproofs the homeowner's crawl space. The crew proceeded to use CleanSpace to encapsulate the crawlspace to prevent moisture and mold from affecting the rest of the foundation. 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 crew used drainage matting and CleanSpace to encapsulate the entire space.

They also installed our Smart Sump where the existing sump was, and created a discharge line out the south end of the home.  The SmartSump™ comes equipped with a cast-iron Zoeller® primary pump with the option of adding an UltraSump® Battery Backup Sump Pump. This sump pump is designed to fit with the CleanSpace® liner and has a sump alarm to ensure you always are aware of any water in your crawl space.

Larry was so pleased and happy with the crew and couldn't say enough about the team's great work!
