American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Brandon and Brandi, from Grygla, MN, were growing more concerned over the state of their 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. They wanted to understand why it was happening, ensure the issue was corrected, and restore peace of mind. After deciding on our company, we set them up with a FREE inspection. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he recommended how American Waterworks could help. Our customers agreed with the recommendations, and work began shortly after. 

Our team installed the recommended drainage matting, a dimpled matting that gets installed onto the crawl space floor, giving any excess water a route to flow through the space and be disposed of at an external site such as a drain or a sump system. Next, the crew permanently waterproofed the space by installing our SmartPipe and Drain Tile drainage system. The next step was to install our CleanSpace vapor barrier to address water entering through the wall. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic barrier 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 drainage system now correctly guides water to the Super Sump Plus pump, and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. Brandon and Brandi were grateful for the support and guidance of American Waterworks in protecting their home!

David, from Bemidji, MN, was growing more concerned over the state of his crawl space. If a crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, issues can extend to all parts of the home. David wanted to understand why it was happening, ensure the issue was corrected, and restore peace of mind. After deciding on our company, we set him up with a FREE inspection. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Richie, headed to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he recommended how American Waterworks could help. Richie explained that crawl spaces will show mold, must, and wood rot, even if it is ventilation, because these vents do not work.

Our Foreman, Tanner, went out with his crew to help solve the problems of dampness and must that can lead to things like foundation issues and even radon gas. Tanner and the team cleared the space and implemented our drainage matting. This dimpled matting gets installed onto the crawl space floor, giving any excess water a route to flow through the space and be disposed of at an external site such as a drain or a sump system. The second step was our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp that traps any excess moisture in the space, redirecting it to the appropriate disposal site. Finally, our team added an Aprilaire dehumidifier, which creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses to less than 1% in two days when set to 50% relative humidity. This and our crawl space liner will create a drier, healthier crawl space. Our crawl space liner is made with seven layers of tough, durable material designed to withstand traffic from the homeowner and workers -- with a 25-year written, transferable warranty! David was pleased with the results and grateful his peace of mind was restored.

In Bemidji, MN a homeowner was looking to make some changes to his cabin before the winter months arrived. His main concern was the foundation landing outside of the side door that had sunken over the years. Wanting to get it fixed, he went online to find a reasonable solution because he wasn't interested in fully replacing it. He looked up foundation repair companies and came across the American Waterworks website. He was impressed with our past work and our FREE no-obligation estimates, so he signed up for his own. We received his request and sent over one of our expert Design Specialists to inspect the foundation. The Design Specialist explained that our HelicalPiers were the perfect solution to stabilize the landing and prevent it from sinking again. The homeowner agreed to the installations and was later greeted by one of our Foremen, Juan Pena, and his crew. They carefully installed the HelicalPiers and made sure the homeowner was happy with the results before leaving the home.

A homeowner in Bemidji, MN, noticed that his home was taking a long time to heat up during the winter. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner decided to do some research and learned that a bad crawl space could be the issue. After learning this, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, James N., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, James explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of crawl space damage is vents. This is moisture vets allows moisture to come in, causing the walls, floor joists, and insulation to become saturated with water from condensation. For this reason, James recommended CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier that prevents water from permeating the floors and walls, and Drainage Matting, an extremely durable matting that creates drainage space between the CleanSpace and the ground beneath the crawl space. The homeowner happily agreed and decided to schedule the installation date. 

In about a month, our Foreman, RJ L., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed 803 sqft of CleanSpace and 527 sqft of Drainage Matting. After they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Pine Island, MN noticed that their driveway had dropped several inches from it's original position, next to the garage.  American Waterworks was able to successfully level the driveway with our trusted PolyLEVEL system.  Once the slab was raised, our Team filled the gap with Nexus Pro joint sealer to prevent any further shifting.
