Northern Iowa and Western Wisconsin

American Waterworks has been providing solutions for crawl space moisture and water problems for homeowners throughout Southeastern Minnesota, Northern Iowa & Western WI.

Nothing destroys a new crawl space like the twin forces of humidity and water. Allowing a dirt and humid space to remain under your home is a terrible idea, and as the wood in the space begins to decay, it can lead to expensive damage in the home. If your crawl space is showing damage from mold, rot, and moisture, there's no time like the present to fix it.

If you have a moldy, rotting, smelly crawl space, ask yourself this question: How dry are my vents keeping my crawl space so far? When contractors are installing crawl spaces, their goal is to create an opportunity for air to circulate from the outside through the crawl space area, pulling the moisture out of the crawl space and carrying it outside.

Before Repair

After Encapsulation

Once mold establishes itself on the wet wood and organic material in a crawl space, it begins to damage the wood and fill the air with tens of thousands of spores. Odors, mold spores, allergens, and humidity will all rise upwards with the warmed air, joining the air in the home. As the crawl space rots, repairs will need to be done, and finding a crawl space contractor who's willing to crawl into a moldy, damp, and rodent-infested crawl space to tear out the old wood and install new wood won't be cheap. And even if you do repair the Minnesota, Iowa & Wisconsin crawl space, you haven't solved the problem unless the vents have been sealed and the moisture is kept out.

Moldy Crawl Space

Vented crawl spaces are affected by much more than the summer heat. When winter sets in humidity will not be significant, but the freezing temperatures entering the, Minnesota, or Iowa crawl space will offer problems of their own. As winter air streams into the crawl space, water heaters, hot water pipes, and heating ducts will all cooled and will need to use more energy to do their job correctly. The floor above the crawl space will also feel the effects of the temperatures, creating a cold, unpleasant feel when walked upon. This is not the best choice for you or your home!
