Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Mark and Sharron of Miltona, MN, noticed musty, damp smells coming from their dirt crawlspace. They knew the importance of encapsulating their crawlspace to protect against odors, rodents, insects, and more, especially since they planned to keep their lake home long. After researching, they decided to call American Waterworks and were set up with a FREE inspection. Our Design Specialist, Ian, headed to the property a few weeks later. Once he completed his walkthrough, he recommended how American Waterworks could help. Our customers agreed with the recommendations, and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his crew began by installing our drainage matting, a dimpled mat that is installed onto the floor of the crawl space. This gives 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 installation 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! Mark and Sharron were very pleased with the results and grateful their peace of mind was restored.

Tom A. of Ottertail, MN was looking for a contractor that could seal his crawl space. He saw our crawl space commercial on television, so he called our office line and got a FREE estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to Tom's home, carefully examined his crawl space, and determined the solution of our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier. Tom was confident in our proposal, so he got a date scheduled for the installation of the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team installed 825 feet of our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, which is designed to prevent mold growth, humidity, and water moisture from coming into his crawl space. It also gives the crawl space a bright, clean appearance. Tom was happy with the outcome of the project!

Jen N. of Oslo, MN had a musty crawl space and she wanted to get it encapsulated with a vapor barrier. She knew of our Design Specialist, Ian, so she asked him about our services. After a thorough rundown of our crawl space waterproofing products, Jen felt confident in our product so she scheduled a FREE Estimate with Ian to come out to her home and inspect her crawl space. Ian drew up a solution that met her needs and budget, so she signed his contract, wrote out a deposit, and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production team installed a drainage matting followed by 1,032 square feet of our CleanSpace Encapsulation Moisture Barrier. Along with protection from mold and wood rot, our CleanSpace prevents insects, termites, and other pests. Along with that, it saves money on energy bills and provides additional storage space to the home. Our drainage matting provides extra durability and it drains water away from invading the crawl space. The project took about two days to complete, and Jen was delighted with the work!

Mark M. of Detroit Lakes, MN had water leaking from his crawl space walls and floor, causing him to worry about water moisture and humidity problems in his home. He called American Waterworks to schedule a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen. Richie went to his home, inspected his crawl space, and came up with a solution that worked for him and his budget. Mark got all of his questions answered about the encaspulation process, so he went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his production team began the project by applying 1,436 feet of drainage matting on the floor of Mark's crawl space. Our drainage matting is made to direct the water flooding the crawl space to the perimeter crawl space drain and sump pump system. Next, our team installed 2,288 feet of our CleanSpace Encapuslation Vapor Barrier. Our vapor barrier is used to transform the crawl space into a dry, clean, and energy-efficient part of the home. Along with protection from mold and rot, a dry crawl space will also be inhospitable to termites, cockroaches, ants, crickets, and many other pests that need excess moisture to survive.

For this job, we headed out to Perham, MN, where we assisted a customer who was having issues with bowing wood and water in their crawl space. Our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property and was able to recommend solutions for both of the issues. To address the bowing wood, Richie suggested they have several SmartJacks installed under the main beam of the floorboard. Our SmartJacks have the option to be tightened over time, making it the ideal solution for homeowners who need a long-term fix. Richie suggested our CleanSpace waterproofing encapsulation be installed in the crawl space to keep it dry and energy-efficient. Another excellent project completed by Richie, our Foreman Cameron, and his team!
