Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Grand Forks, ND, knew it was time to check their crawl space. Once they looked a little closer, they noticed their crawl space was in tough shape. The homeowners knew this was going to be a large project, so they began looking for a professional near them. After looking through several companies, the homeowner decided to work with us, American Waterworks. The homeowner was impressed with our excellent before and afters, so they signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists to the home to take a closer look. The Design Specialist arrived and began their thorough investigation of the crawl space. The Design Specialist recommended fully encapsulating the crawl space and the homeowner agreed. Next, the Design Specialist sent the plans to our office to have them approved. Once the plans were approved and scheduled, they were assigned to our Foreman, Franklin, and his crew. Franklin and his crew traveled to Grand Forks and began the installation. First, they started making sure the space was cleared. Next, the crew laid Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. Once the Drainage Matting was secured, the crew attached CleanSpace to the crawl space walls and floor. Then, the crew attached Foamax to the crawl space walls. Franklin and his crew completed the encapsulation, so they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to assist their homeowners in encapsulating their struggling crawl spaces. 

If a crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, issues will extend to every part of the home. Alfred, from Ellendale, ND, was beginning to fear that his unstable crawl space was causing issues throughout the rest of his home and wanted to make sure that the issue was corrected before any more damage could be done. 

After deciding on our company, Alfred gave us a call, and we set him up with a FREE inspection. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he made recommendations as to how we could help. 

We explained that the home is a system, and every part of that system plays a role that affects the rest of the structure. Our recommendations were approved, and so we got to work! Our Foreman, Cameron, and his team worked diligently to install a variety of products. First up was our Aprilaire Dehumidifier, which reduces the humidity levels, musty smells, and odors, as well as makes the home drier and more comfortable. Next, our Foamax Wall Panels were installed, which is a foam insulation that is a great investment and brightens the entire basement. Then, the crew sprayed the remaining points of entry with our SprayFoam. Finally, Cameron installed our PowerBrace wall repair system to fix the wall. He explained that The PowerBrace is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. He went on to say that the steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment and that, over time, the PowerBrace System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. Once the job was done, our customer was happy to know he no longer had to worry about a faulty crawl space affecting the rest of his home! 

A homeowner in Hope, ND, decided to investigate the status of the crawl space in their home. As soon as they entered the crawlspace, dust and dirt erupted in their face. Disgusted with the status of the crawlspace, the homeowner wanted to encapsulate it. After seeing a before and after advertisment on Facebook, the homeowner decided to sign up for a FREE estimate with American Waterworks. We sent out our Design Specialist, Kole, to investigate the status of the crawlspace. Following his evaluation, Kole suggested utilizing Foamax and CleanSpace to close off the crawlspace. The homeowners agreed and we sent our crews out. Our Foreman, Domenic, and his crew started by removing the plastic and insulation on the walls. Then, the crew removed any debris in the crawl space. Once the crawlspace was cleaned out, the crew installed drainage matting and laid CleanSpace to seal the crawl space. Next, the crew applied Foamax on all interior foundation walls except where the crawlspace and basement meet. Finally, the crew applied SprayFoam on the exterior walls, except where the crawlspace and basement met. Once the installation was complete, the homeowners were pleased that their crawlspace was encapsulated. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for a FREE estimate today!

Brian W. of Valley City, ND had a damp and musty crawl space, and he wanted to get it encapsulated. He did some research on our website and took advantage of our webchat. He scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen, to come to his home, inspect his crawl space, and draw out a solution. Brian was comfortable with Richie's solution of our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier, so he signed the proposal and got a date scheduled for the installation.

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team began the project by getting all of the debris out of the crawl space. Next, our team installed 352 feet of our CleanSpace. This special vapor barrier is made to prevent mold and mildew, save money on energy bills, and provide extra storage space to the home. The installation took a day, and the homeowner was happy with the transformation!

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.
