Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Clear Lake IA had a large dirt floor crawlspace under the whole house that they wanted to waterproof and make more of a energy enfficient space.

Wanting to prevent any mold growth and get rid of musty odors, a homeowner in Clear Lake, IA decided to look for a service in the nearby area that would help their needs. They came across our American Waterworks website and team by looking up services in the area and were interested in our FREE estimate service. They scheduled an appointment and in the coming weeks were greeted by one of our Design Specialists, Nick Skillman. He informed the homeowner that an excellent solution to the problems they were having included the installation of our products, CleanSpace and SmartJacks. He explained that CleanSpace insulation would help protect their crawl space from moisture and humidity from the walls. In addition, installing a SmartJack would provide solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space. He explained that both of these products would be beneficial for the health of the homeowners and the quality of the house. A few weeks later, one of our Foreman, Diego Barrientos, and his crew made a visit to the site and installed the two products, resulting in a finished and clean crawl space.

Caitlin, a resident of Waldorf, MN, realized that her crawl space needed some attention. Crawl space insulation is important, as a number of comfort and energy problems are caused by inadequate or incorrect crawl space insulation. Specifically, with musty smells, mold, and moisture issues, Caitlin decided she needed to call American Waterworks for a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Eric, headed to the property to inspect the crawl space.

Following the inspection, Eric made his recommendations and answered all questions, and an appointment was made to implement solutions.

Our Foreman and his crew began the project by clearing debris and readying the spaces for installation. They then installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier to address water Issues. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic barrier that gets 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. Next the team added our SmartDrain, which helps fully waterproof the crawl space. The crew also used spray foam to seal and waterproof the homeowner's crawl space. Our spray foam is designed to keep the heat inside and prevent cool air from coming in. Finally, our team added an Aprilaire dehumidifier, which creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days when set to 50% relative humidity. Now, Caitlin's crawlspace is protected, and we improved her peace of mind.

Jennifer S. of Dassel, MN had a wet, damp, and musty crawl space, causing problems such as mold, wood rot, and water moisture, and her friend referred American Waterworks for the repairs. She called our office and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Michel Ramirez. Michel went to his home, carefully inspected the crawl space, and drew up a solution that worked for her and her budget. She was confident with Michel's proposal and got all of her questions answered, so she signed the proposal and moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Geno Mclain, and his crew member began the installation by cleaning out the crawl space and starting from the back of the crawl space to the front. Our team installed 896 square feet of our CleanSpace Encapsulation Moisture Barrier, which is a durable, white liner that prevents water vapor and humidity from invading the crawl space. Along with the prevention of mold and rot, a dry, clean crawl space keeps away odors and prevents the heat and cold from entering during the winter and summer seasons. The project took one and a half days, and Jennifer was pleased with the work that was completed!
