Local Crawl Space Repair in Winona, MN

In Winona, MN, a homeowner was growing more concerned about the crawl space beneath her home. Although the space was small, she had noticed that a musty smell had been steadily growing throughout the home, accompanied by sloping floors in the room above the crawl space. Never having faced these issues before, the homeowner worried about what an unhealthy crawl space could mean for her home. In search of local crawl space repair, she found American Waterworks. She took her time reading about our crawl space repair options and impressed with our crawl space before and after pictures of projects we had completed in her area. Confident she had found the right contractor, she claimed her FREE estimate, and several weeks later our Design Specialist, Ryan M, headed out to the home to see what could be done for the damp crawl space. 

When he arrived, he got as far into the crawl space as he could to check for the source of water intrusion, or signs of failing support beams. When Ryan finished his comprehensive estimate, he met up with the homeowner to go over his recommendations. Ryan began by stating that your home is only as healthy as your crawl space allows. Ryan provided her with a comprehensive plan that included our CleanSpace for crawl spaces, drainage matting, SmartDrain, TerraBlock, and SmartJacks for crawl spaces. Impressed with the comprehensive plan, the homeowner booked the job on the spot. 

When the day of the installation rolled around, our Foreman, Kevin M, and his crew got right to work. They started with our smartjack support system, an adjustable supplemental support system specially used to address sagging floors caused by failing crawl spaces. Next, they removed excess dirt from the area, and followed this step by laying down our drainage matting. This dimpled matting gives water entering the crawl space a channel to flow freely to a disposal site, which in this case Ryan had recommended to be our SmartDrain. This drain works to remove excess water from crawl spaces, keeping the home healthy and dry for years to come. Finally, Kevin laid down our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier with something called UltraFresh, an antimicrobial coating, built in. When the project had been completed, our customer was thrilled to know that her crawl space concerns were in the past!
