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!

Lynda U. from Truman, MN contacted American Waterworks after doing some research online. The floors in her home were sagging and the crawl space was in need of some supports. She was happy to learn that American Waterworks has 30 years of experience and was glad to meet with Ryan Powell, one of our Design Specialists. Ryan evaluated the situation and proposed our SmartJack Support System and supplemental beams to stabilize and level the sagging beams.  

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew were successfully able to strengthen and stabilize the crawl space with the installation of 14 SmartJacks. The support system can be installed year-round, provides supplemental support, and can often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. It is made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel and remains adjustable for years, should it need future adjustment. Lynda was impressed with the installation process, and her peace of mind has been restored!
