Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Randy H. of Milaca, MN had a damp and wet crawl space, causing him to worry about humidity, mold, and pest attraction. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Shane went to his home, inspected his crawl space, and came up with the solution of our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier. Randy got all of his questions answered so he moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose Flores, and his crew installed 864 feet of our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, which is a heavy-duty moisture barrier that 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 prevent termites, cockroaches, ants, crickets, and other creatures from coming into the crawl space. Randy was happy with the repairs and was grateful to have a dry crawl space again!

Kathy F. of Inver Grove Heights wanted her crawl space encapsulated, so she requested a FREE Estimate with our company. Our Design Specialist, Dustin, went to Kathy's home, carefully inspected her crawl space, and determined a solution that worked for her and her needs. She was confident in Dustin's proposal of our CleanSpace Encapsulation System and our Foamax Wall Panels, so she signed the contract. 

Our Foreman, Jose, and his team began the project by installing our Foamax Wall Panels around the crawl space wall perimeter, which is a special foam insulation that makes the basement warmer, brightens the space, and drain wall leaks into the drainage system. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier throughout the floor of the crawl space. The purpose of this barrier is to keep the crawl space dry, protect the structure from wood rot and mold, and seal away smelly odors. Kathy was happy with the work and was grateful for the extra storage space!

In Apple Valley, MN, a homeowner had noticed that her home was taking a long time to heat up and decided to look into the reasons why. She learned that one of the possible reasons is a moisture issue in the crawl space. She decided to look for crawl space encapsulation services in the area and came upon our website. She was pleased that we offer FREE estimates and decided to claim hers!

Our Design Specialist, Dustin L., arrived at the home on the scheduled date and inspected the crawl space. He explained to the homeowner that her crawl space is in pretty rough shape, and this could be the reason why it takes a long time for her home to heat up. He recommended having it encapsulated by installing our Drainage Matting, Terrablock, Foamax, CleanSpace, and Spray Foam. These products would be used to fully encapsulate the crawl space, reducing its moisture levels and eventually saving the customer up to 20% off their energy bills. The homeowner happily agreed to his suggestions and decided to move forward with his design.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Francisco E., and his crew arrived at the home for the installations. They first installed 210 sqft of Drainage Matting on the floor, ensuring that water does not get trapped. 210 sqft of Terrablock is then placed on top, which prevents moisture from going up through the dirt. Then, 88 sqft of Foamax is placed on the walls of the crawl space, which will solve the humidity and dampness problems. Foamax is our polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel with a white foil finish on the front and a foil vapor barrier on the back. This will make the crawl space much warmer and brighten it. Then, 272 sqft of CleanSpace is placed over the flooring and the walls, which will take any water seepage from your walls and direct it to the drainage system. Lastly, the crew installed 44 sqft of Spray Foam to seal it off. Once the crew finished the installations, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer's crawl space will stay warm and dry all year long! Are you experiencing similar issues? Click HERE to claim your FREE estimate!

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN, had noticed that a section of the floor on the main level of his home was much colder than other areas of the floor. It occurred to the homeowner that the issue might be his crawl space beneath the home. He began to look for a crawl space repair company in MN and quickly found us. He was impressed with our previous work and scheduled his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist was headed out to the home. When he arrived, he wasted no time getting down into the crawl space. When he finished, he was ready to make his recommendation. First, our Design Specialist recommended our CleanSpace, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly to the walls of the crawl space. It works to collect the water entering through holes and cracks in the wall, keeping it off the crawl space floor. To compliment this product, our Design Specialist recommended our drainage matting, a dimpled matting that gets laid down on the floor of the space before the CleanSpace, giving the draining water a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. He then went on to recommend our TerraBlock and Foamax wall panel combo. TerraBlock™ crawl space insulation was developed to meet the challenge of insulating rough, uneven crawl space floors. The ¾-in.-thick sheet material is covered on both sides with a durable moisture barrier that makes the insulation resistant to puncture and abrasion damage. Foamax is a polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel with a white foil finish on the front and a foil vapor barrier on the back. It offers high-performance features such as high insulation value, a brighter, warmer basement, and can be left exposed, meaning no need to cover the panels. The homeowner was thrilled with the plan and signed on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Kiko P, and his team successfully installed 260 sqft of CleanSpace, 198 sqft of Drainage Matting, 198 sqft of TerraBlock, and 116 sqft of Foamax. Now, our customer can enjoy a nice warm floor and energy-efficient house! 

A homeowner in Little Canada, MN, noticed their sump pump was not running properly. Instead of letting the issue worsen, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. The homeowner looked into "sump pump repair near me" and one of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the best option for their home. Since they were on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Kevin. Kevin promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the sump pump and crawl space. During the inspection, Kevin confirmed the sump pump needed to be replaced. Additionally, Kevin recommended encapsulating the entire crawl space. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed with Kevin's proposal. Next, Kevin passed the proposal to our Logsitics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logisitcs team scheduled the project for the following weeks, then it was assigned to our Foreman, Lane, and his crew. Once the project date arrived, Lane and his crew began by taking out the old sump pump and replaced it with the SuperSump+. Next, the crew laid Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. Then, the crew installed CleanSpace on top. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the efficient and excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowner's peace of mind knowing they have one of the best sump pumps on the market.
