Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A couple from Brainerd, MN got in contact with us when they began to notice cold floors on their main level, as well as higher than normal energy bills. They suspected their crawl space beneath the home to be the culprit but wanted to get a second opinion. When they called in, they used their FREE estimate to have one of our Design Specialists, Jesse, out to the property to assess the situation. Once Jesse had completed his walkthrough, he was able to make his recommendations as to how we could help. Jesse wanted to use our CleanSpace for crawl spaces vapor barrier to address the issue. He explained that the benefits of our CleanSpace included controlling mold and rot, saving money on utilities, sealing away odors, as well as keeping pests and inspects out of the space. He went on to say that the process of installing CleanSpace is minimal. The couple agreed and work began shortly after.

An Anoka, MN, homeowner was making dinner one night when she noticed her kitchen floors seemed to be sagging in a few areas. It occurred to her that her kitchen was directly over the crawl space of the home, and was immediately uneasy about what this could mean for the stability of her home. She took to the internet to find crawl space repairs near Anoka, MN, and quickly found our website. She was impressed by other projects we had done in her area and decided to claim her FREE estimate. 

When our Design Specialist, Nick S, arrived at the home, he was directed to the crawl space to begin his estimate. 

When he concluded, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendation. First, Nick explained that the crawl space needed a supplemental beam, and our SmartJack system. He explained that our SmartJack system is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. It not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. This crawl space support system is unique in that it's made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel. Because your system will not develop rust, it will remain adjustable for years, should you need to perform future adjustments. The homeowner liked the sound of Nick's plan and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Jesus C, and his team effortlessly installed 20 ft of Supplemental Beam, and 3 SmartJacks. Now, our customer has renewed faith in her space! 

Marie of Anoka, MN, was beginning to notice that she was experiencing pooling water in the crawl space beneath her home. She wanted to know what could be done to fix the issue, so she gave us a call. When she got in contact with us, she used her FREE estimate with us to have our Design Specialist, Shane, out to her property to do a thorough inspection. When Shane completed, he was able to make a recommendation as to how American Waterworks could best help Marie. He suggested that we wrap the entire space in our CleanSpace to catch any water entering the space through cracks or porous holes in the walls of the space. Next, he wanted to use our drainage matting to ensure that any water would find its way to the appropriate disposal site. The raised dimples on this matting give the water flooding into the crawl space a natural channel underneath the crawl space liner that directs the water to a perimeter drain or sump pump. Marie agreed with Shane's recommendations and work began shortly after. Our Foreman, Chris, was able to make quick work of their installations. They ended up wrapping the basement in 460 sqft of CleanSpace and used another 260 sqft of our drainage matting on the floor of the crawl space. The crew finished the job by using our Spray Foam, a sprayable foam used to insulate the remaining cracks between the floor and ceiling joists. 

When the job was completed, Marie was satisfied with the work and happy to know that her waterproofing issues were in the past! 

A homeowner in New Hampton, IA, grew concerned their crawl space was in serious trouble. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner began looking into crawl space repair near New Hampton, IA.

During his investigation, Ryan confirmed the crawl space needed to be cleared and encapsulated. Ryan presented his findings and proposal to the homeowner. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Ryan's proposal. Next, Ryan sent the proposal to our Logistics team to have the plans approved. Our Logistics team built and scheduled the project, and then it was assigned to our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew. As soon as Kiko and his crew arrived, they began by clearing out the crawl space.

A homeowner in Cannon Falls, MN requested that American Waterworks check their crawlspace for the presence of Radon after reading up on the side effects of this toxic gas.

 After receiving the news that their test came back at 8.4 pCi/L, the Shepards decided it was best to encapsulate their crawlspace with a vapor barrier known as CleanSpace.

The CleanSpace barrier will block most of the movement of radon from the soil into the crawlspace and our radon mitigation system will reduce any of the remaining presence of the gas that is entering through cracks in the foundation, plumbing, etc.
