Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

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. The homeowner looked through several companies and their eye was caught by our five-star ratings and reviews. Impressed with our work, the homeowner knew we were the best company for the job. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. As soon as the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan, to the home to take a closer look. Ryan arrived at the home and began his thorough investigation of the crawl space. 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. Once the crawl space was cleared, the crew shifted their focus to installing Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. Following the Drainage Matting, the crew shifted their focus to installing TerraBlock on the crawl space floor. Next, the crew attached CleanSpace to the crawl space walls and floors. Finally, the crew finished up by installing Foamax on the outside crawl space walls. After Kiko and his crew completed the installation, they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is delighted to assist its homeowners in repairing their 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.

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.

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!
