The Contractor of Choice for Forbes, ND's Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repairs

A homeowner in Forbes, ND, knew it was time to inspect their crawl space. Since they had not checked on their crawl space for a while, the homeowner was a tad concerned about the surprises they would find. The homeowner grew concerned after discovering their crawl space was suffering and required some assistance. Knowing they could not fix the issue themselves, the homeowner began looking into "crawl space encapsulation near me". One of the highest-rated and reviewed companies, American Waterworks, stood out to them. After seeing our impressive before and afters, the homeowner knew we were the best option for their home. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of James, one of our Design Specialists. James made his way to the home and began his thorough investigation of the crawl space. Following his inspection, James was able to propose the perfect solution that would assist the crawl space. After hearing James' plan, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the proposal. Once they were given the green light, James passed the plans along to our office to have them approved. Next, the scheduled projects were assigned to the appropriate crew. The crew traveled to the home and began the project. First, the crew wanted to make sure the crawl space was cleared. Then, the crew began by installing the SuperSump+ in the corner of the crawl space. As soon as the SuperSump+ was installed, the crew shifted their focus to installing Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. The CleanSpace Drainage Matting gives the water flooding into your crawl space a channel below your crawl space liner. One member of the crew begins by laying the drainage matting while another puts one over the top. This is a very efficient and swift installation process. After the CleanSpace Drainage Matting is installed, the crew can go in and install CleanSpace on the crawl space walls. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that prevents humidity and mold growth. The crew installs CleanSpace by mechanically attaching them to the basement walls with plastic drilled-in fasteners. Finally, the crew attached an IceGuard to the outside discharge line. An IceGuard is an attachment that prevents the discharge line from clogging and blocking. As soon as all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the eye-catching transformation created by the crew. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!

In order to be strong, stable, and level, the ceiling of a crawl space needs to have solid, mid-span support that is provided by a post-and-beam assembly. Some beams can be undersized, and most contractors use wooden posts that can typically shift, settle, or rot. When this occurs, floor joists sag, and other structural problems take place. 

A male homeowner in Forbes, ND was having similar problems like this in his crawl space. He wanted to get it repaired and fixed before it got any worse. He got in contact with American Waterworks and got a FREE estimate scheduled with one of our Design Specialists. Our Design Specialist went to the homeowner's house, carefully inspected the crawl space, and drew up a well-detailed solution that worked for him and his crawl space repair needs. The homeowner was confident in the proposal of our SmartJack Support Beams, which provides a stable, solid support system for sagging beams. The homeowner signed our contract, wrote out a deposit check, and got his project on the schedule.

Our Foreman and his production crew installed six of our SmartJacks throughout the crawl space. Our SmartJacks restore the stability and straightness of sagging floors while correcting problems like springy floors, wall cracks, and uneven door frames. Over time, our SmartJacks can be adjusted to provide additional straightening and leveling if needed. The homeowner was very satisfied with the work that was done, and had a great experience from start to finish!
