Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Calmar, IA, was noticing an odd phenomenon around his home. At times, a foul odor could be detected wafting through the air of the home. Try as he might, the homeowner could not pin down the source of the odor. After speaking with neighbors, he realized the issue might be coming from his below-ground crawl space. The homeowner didn't know much about crawl space upkeep, so he took to the internet to find a crawl space repair specialist near Calmar, IA. When he found American Waterworks, he was pleasantly surprised by our digital footprint, and decided to schedule his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brady S, stopped out at the home to see what could be done. Brady got down in the crawl space to complete his thorough inspection, after which he met with the homeowner to discuss the best path forward. Brady began by explaining that the homeowner was correct to assume his crawl space was to blame for the odor. Brady explained that he found evidence of water intrusion, and would recommend crawl space encapsulation to fix the issue. Crawl space encapsulation requires several products to properly defend the space. First, drainage matting is laid down on the floor of the space. This dimpled mat works to provide a channel for water to flower freely through to a disposal site. Next, our CleanSpace is applied to the floors and walls of the crawl space. This 100% plastic vapor barrier stops moisture from passing through floors and porous concrete walls. The homeowner agreed, and he and Brady worked together to find the best time for the installation. 

When all was said and done, the homeowner was thrilled to know his musty crawl space was a worry of the past! 

Marsha Z. in Stillwater, MN had moisture in her crawl space. She was concerned that her air quality was being compromised, so she got in touch with American Waterworks to receive a free estimate. Shortly after she contacted us, one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, went onsite to inspect her crawl space. He developed a plan to seal off her basement permanently from the ground by using CleanSpace and drainage matting.

Our Foreman, Jared Wroblewski, and his crew installed the CleanSpace and drainage matting which is now preventing humidity and pests from entering her home. Now that Marsha's crawl space is permanently separated from the earth, she can enjoy a healthier home and even lower energy costs. 

A homeowner in Hudson, WI contacted us after deciding to cleanup his crawlspace where his HVAC system was housed.  The crawlspace is now more energy efficient and free of any debris, allergens, and most importantly, moisture.  

Jon and Amy H. of Hudson, WI had water coming into their crawl space, causing them to worry about water damage and other crawl space problems. They went online and saw that we provide free estimates, so they called our office line and scheduled one with our Design Specialist, Chuck Haldeman. Chuck went to their home, crawled into their crawl space, and drew up some possible solutions for a few hours. After the inspection, Jon, Amy, and Chuck sat down and discussed which solution would work best. They decided on one of the solutions, signed Chuck's contract, and went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy Anderson, and his production team began the installation by taking everything out of the crawl space and ensuring the space was clear to begin the work. Next, our team installed our SuperSump Plus M53 Sump Pump in the crawl space, which is made to keep spaces dry and healthy for extended periods of time, especially in times of heavy water intrusion. Next, Jeromy and his crew installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Moisture Barrier throughout the entire crawl space. The purpose of this moisture barrier is to keep the crawl space dry, protect the structure, and prevent mold and rot. The installation took a few days, but Jon and Amy had a wonderful experience and could not believe the transformation from start to finish!
