Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A customer from Audubon, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice water entering his crawl space, creating musty odors and rotting wood. He was afraid that if left the condition untouched, it might compromise the structural integrity of the space. When he called our Appointment Center, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a thorough inspection of the issue. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to do a walkthrough. Once completed, Kole was able to make recommendations about how to fix the issue. He recommended the use of our CleanSpace vapor barrier. He explained that, along with our Drainage Matting, these two would work together to trap and drain the unwanted water from the space to the appropriate disposal site. The customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Production crew, led by our Foreman, Arturo, ended up wrapping the crawl space in 463 sqft of CleanSpace, and installing 346 sqft of our drainage matting. They ended the job by sealing up any remaining cracks and holes with our spray foam, a hardening foam that works to block water intrusion. Once the job was done, our customer was happy to know that unwanted water intrusion was a worry of the past! 

Jeff M. of Audubon, MN, met our team at one of our Home Show events. After learning about what the American Waterworks team does, he realized that his crawlspace desperately needed our attention. Before we stepped in, Jeff's crawlspace was subjected to the elements, leading to an increase in moisture AND energy bills.

We sent out our Design Specialist, Kole, to provide a free estimate, diagnose the problem, and come up with a solution. After a careful inspection, Kole proposed our CleanSpace Vapor System. Jeff felt confident that all his questions were answered, so he scheduled the installation date.

Our foreman, Aurturo, and his production team installed drainage matting and 463 square feet of our CleanSpace system to encapsulate the crawlspace. Our CleanSpace Vapor System is mechanically connected to walls with plastic fasteners, so it never falls. It also prevents humidity from invading the walls and gives the area a clean and bright appearance with a 25-year warranty. Jeff was happy that his home was protected against things like rot, mold, and structural issues, and his peace of mind was restored.

Our CleanSpace Encapsulation System can provide moisture control for crawl spaces of any size, so reach out for your free estimate today!

A Red Lake, MN, homeowner had noticed a peculiar smell wafting through his home. Try as he may, he could not find the source of the odor. After a heavy night of rain, he realized that it might not be something in the home that was expired but potentially something in his crawl space beneath the home. He began to look for MN crawl space contractors and quickly found our website. He was impressed with other crawl space sealing jobs we had done and decided to schedule his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, Ian S, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. When he arrived, he wasted no time gearing up and getting down into the crawl space to assess the issue. Quickly, the homeowner's worries were confirmed. Small holes or cracks in the crawl space had led to standing water and the growth of mold and mildew, which the odor could be attributed to. Ian recommended three of our products that he believed would help the issue. First, Ian recommended our CleanSpace. This 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets installed directly onto the walls and floors of the crawl space. It acts to collect water entering through small holes and cracks in the foundation of the home, keeping it out of the crawl space. Ian knew that if the liner was flush with the crawl space ground, trapped water would, again, have nowhere to go. For this reason, he recommended our drainage matting be installed below the CleanSpace on the ground of the space. The raised dimples on our drainage matting give the water flooding into your crawl space a channel underneath your crawl space liner. Now that Ian had created a channel for water to flow, he needed a means of disposal. In this case, Ian recommended our SuperSump sump pump be placed in the space This powerful, yet economical, pump is engineered to help keep your home dry and healthy for extended periods. It boasts a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The homeowner liked the sound of Ian's plan and decided to schedule the job for later in the year.

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Kingsley, led his team through the installation of 1 SuperSump pump, 1128 sqft of CleanSpace, and another 900 sqft of drainage matting. Now, our customers can enjoy an odor-free home!

Rolf, a homeowner in Waubun, MN, realized that his crawl space 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, Rolf decided he needed to call American Waterworks for a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Kole, headed to the property for an inspection. Following the inspection, Kole made his recommendations and answered all questions, and Rolf made an appointment to implement solutions.

 Our Foreman 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. Rolf was grateful for the support and guidance of American Waterworks in protecting his home!

A resident of Gonvick, MN had a musty and dirty crawl space that they wanted to use for extra storage space and other house needs. They got in contact with American Waterworks after web-chatting us on our website and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist went to the homeowner's home to take a look at their crawl space and determine a solution. Our Design Specialist proposed our TerraBlock and CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier. The resident was confident in the solution so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production crew began the process by installing our TerraBlock over the crawl space dirt floor. This product provides insulation and moisture protection and is durable enough to withstand people walking on it. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier, which transforms the crawl space into a dry, clean, and energy-efficient part of the home. It also prevents mold, insects, and other pests from invading the space. The installation took less than a day and the homeowner was very satisfied with the final product!
