Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

In Alexandria, MN, a homeowner had noticed a musty smell coming from their crawl space and was concerned about possible mold growth. Knowing the issue must be addressed as soon as possible, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Jesse W., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection. During the inspection, he confirmed signs of mold growth and high humidity levels in the crawl space. To tackle this issue, Jesse recommended encapsulating the space using CleanSpace, our vapor barrier, Foamax, our foam insulation panel, SmartDrain, which drains water away to a drywell beneath the CleanSpace liner, and Aprilaire, our strong dehumidifier. The homeowner happily agreed to the recommendations and decided to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Raul B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed 1168sqft of CleanSpace, 345sqft of Foamax, 3 SmartDrain, and 1 Aprilaire.

An Alexandria, MN, homeowner was facing uneven floors in the room above her crawl space. Worried that this might indicate some type of structural issue below, the homeowner began to look for failing foundation contractors in his area. Amid his search, he decided to head to the Alexandria Home & Garden Show in hopes of finding answers to his questions, which is where he met our Design Specialist, Ryan P. The homeowner stopped at our booth and asked Ryan about his issue. Ryan wanted to see the issue first-hand so the two scheduled a FREE inspection and estimate for a few weeks out. On the day of the appointment, Ryan completed his comprehensive inspection and then met with the homeowner to go over next steps. Ryan started off by verifying that failing support beams in the crawl space were to blame for the uneven floors above. Ryan went on to say that the beams were weakened due to high humidity in the space causing the wood to warp and rot. He explained further that the crawl space was taking on unwanted water that was making the space unhealthy. To address the water entering the basement Ryan wanted to use our CleanSpace and Drainage Matting combo. He ellaborated, saying that the Drainge Matting would be laid down on the floor of the crawl space. It's raised dimples gave water entering the space a channel to flow freely to a perimeter drain or sump pump. He went on to say that the CleanSpace would be applied on top of the drainage matting, along the walls, and beams of the basement. This 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier works to keep unwanted water out of the space, creating a healthier and more comfortable environment. To address the failing support beams, Ryan recommended our SmartJack support system, an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. The homeowner was impressed with Ryan's recommendations, and thankful for his findings, so she decided to schedule her project on the spot. 

Two months later our Foreman, Jesus C, and his crew were in the crawl space preparing for the installation. After a long day, our team had successfully installed 3 SmartJacks, 615 sqft of CleanSpace, and another 375 sqft of Drainage Matting. Now our customer can enjoy his home without uneven floors or water intrusion worries!

In Alexandria, MN, the homeowner's concern about sagging floors led to the search for crawl space repair in the area. The homeowner found our website and decided to contact us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Ryan P., arrived at the home for the inspection, where he discovered crawl space instability. The moisture levels in the crawl space have been higher than normal, causing the space to become humid. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, Ryan provided an effective solution by installing the SmartJack System, which stabilized the beams, lifting the floors toward their original elevation and reducing unwanted bounce. Alongside SmartJack, Ryan also recommended CleanSpace for encapsulation, protecting the crawl space from moisture. Paired with Drainage Matting, this installation ensures a stable and dry environment, demonstrating our commitment to enduring quality and service. The homeowner happily agreed to the recommendations and decided to go forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Jesus C., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed 3 SmartJack, 615 sqft of CleanSpace, and 375 sqft of Drainage Matting.

A homeowner in Grand Forks, ND, knew it was time to check their crawl space. Once they looked a little closer, they noticed their crawl space was in tough shape. The homeowners knew this was going to be a large project, so they began looking for a professional near them. After looking through several companies, the homeowner decided to work with us, American Waterworks. The homeowner was impressed with our excellent before and afters, so they signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists to the home to take a closer look. The Design Specialist arrived and began their thorough investigation of the crawl space. The Design Specialist recommended fully encapsulating the crawl space and the homeowner agreed. Next, the Design Specialist sent the plans to our office to have them approved. Once the plans were approved and scheduled, they were assigned to our Foreman, Franklin, and his crew. Franklin and his crew traveled to Grand Forks and began the installation. First, they started making sure the space was cleared. Next, the crew laid Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. Once the Drainage Matting was secured, the crew attached CleanSpace to the crawl space walls and floor. Then, the crew attached Foamax to the crawl space walls. Franklin and his crew completed the encapsulation, so they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew.
