A homeowner from St. Paul, MN got in touch with us when he noticed that his floor over his crawl space was beginning to slope inwards. Concerned that the issue might be tough to fix, the homeowner got in touch with us to see if we could help. We set him up with our FREE estimate and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Daniel, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

After Daniel completed his inspection, he let the homeowner know that he was experiencing slopping floors because the beams that held up the ceiling of the crawl space had been compromised. Daniel went on to say that water intrusion had led the wooden beams to rot. He explained that he had a few options to restore the stability of the crawl space and ensure that water intrusion would be a thing of the past. Daniel laid out his plan and started by recommending our SmartJack Crawl Space Stabilizers to address the sloping. He informed the homeowner that our SmartJack is an adjustable supplemental support beam specifically used for sagging crawl spaces, as it can often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. Made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel, these beams do not develop rust, and remain adjustable for years should you need to perform future adjustments. Next, he recommended using our Crawl Space Waterproofing systems, a combination of crawl space vapor barrier, crawl space drainage matting, and our SmartPipe drain. Daniel explained that these products work hand in hand to eliminate unwanted water from the space and provide a healthy, clean, and insulated crawl space. The homeowner agreed and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his team began the process by installing 14 of our SmartJacks throughout the crawl space of the home. Next, they laid 776 sqft of drainage matting and another 1040 sqft of vapor barrier throughout the space. Now that the job is completed our homeowner is elated to know he no longer needs to worry about the structural integrity of his home!

A Woodbury, MN, homeowner was in the process of looking for someone to evaluate her crawl space. Over the years, she had noticed a foul smell originating from the space, leading her to believe that the crawl space could be humid or take on water, creating unhealthy air in the home. She took to the internet and searched for the 'best crawl space repair near me' and quickly found American Waterworks. After looking through other jobs we had completed in her area, she confidently signed up for her FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Michel R, was headed out to the home. When Michel arrived, he got down to business and entered the space to complete his inspection. When he finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to go over his plan for the crawl space. He began by commending the homeowner for seeking help, explaining that the health of a crawl space is incredibly important to the overall health of the home. Michel explained that we have 3 products that could address the issue, our CleanSpace for crawl space, drainage matting, and our SmartDrain. Michel elaborated, saying that the CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto the unfinished walls of the crawl space, functioning to direct water entering through the walls downward, and most importantly, keeping it off the basement floor. The drainage matting, a dimpled mat, goes down before the CleanSpace to give the water entering the space a channel to flow to a disposal site. The SmartDrain is an innovative product that alerts you to a leak with an audible alarm and drains the water away to a drywell under the CleanSpace liner to protect against water damage. The homeowner, impressed with Michel's comprehensive assessment, signed on the spot. 

A month or so later, the job was well underway. Led by our Foreman, Diego B, our team successfully installed 574 sqft of CleanSpace, 456 sqft of drainage matting, and 1 SmartDrain. Now, our homeowner can go back to worrying about more important matters, all the while being confident in her homes healthy crawl space!
