Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Minot, ND, noticed a foul smell around their home. Unsure of the source, they began looking throughout their home. They discovered the smell was coming from the crawl space underneath their home. Worried about the long-term effects, the homeowner wanted to find a professional, lasting solution. The homeowner knew a friend who had a similar issue and they recommended working with us, American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner waited for the arrival of James, one of our Design Specialists. Once James arrived, he introduced himself to the homeowners and began investigating the crawl space. James completed his detailed inspection of the crawl space and determined it needed to be encapsulated. James proposed the plan and the benefits it would have in their home. The homeowners agreed with James' suggestion and the plans were passed along to the office for approval. Once approved, the plans were sent to our Foreman, Roel, and his crew. Roel and his crew traveled to the home and began encapsulating the crawl space. First, the crew installed Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. Next, the crew installed Foamax on the crawl space walls. Once the Foamax was secured, the crew attached CleanSpace to the crawl space walls and basement floor. The crew successfully encapsulated the entire crawl space, so they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterowroks is happy to assist its customers achieve their home goals. 

If a crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, issues will extend to every part of the home. Alfred, from Ellendale, ND, was beginning to fear that his unstable crawl space was causing issues throughout the rest of his home and wanted to make sure that the issue was corrected before any more damage could be done. 

After deciding on our company, Alfred gave us a call, and we set him up with a FREE inspection. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he made recommendations as to how we could help. 

We explained that the home is a system, and every part of that system plays a role that affects the rest of the structure. Our recommendations were approved, and so we got to work! Our Foreman, Cameron, and his team worked diligently to install a variety of products. First up was our Aprilaire Dehumidifier, which reduces the humidity levels, musty smells, and odors, as well as makes the home drier and more comfortable. Next, our Foamax Wall Panels were installed, which is a foam insulation that is a great investment and brightens the entire basement. Then, the crew sprayed the remaining points of entry with our SprayFoam. Finally, Cameron installed our PowerBrace wall repair system to fix the wall. He explained that The PowerBrace is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. He went on to say that the steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment and that, over time, the PowerBrace System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. Once the job was done, our customer was happy to know he no longer had to worry about a faulty crawl space affecting the rest of his home! 

Water seepage through crawl space floors and walls is a problem that many homes encounter. If it is left untouched by the homeowner, the crawl space can be damaged by termites, mold, and wood rot. However, problems like these can be prevented by getting an effective encapsulation and waterproofing system installed. 

Homeowners in Marion, ND were seeing this similar issue in their crawl space. They did some research online and came across our website on Google, and were impressed with the services that we provide. They decided to give our office staff a call and schedule their FREE, no-obligation estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to the homeowner's house, carefully inspected their crawl space, and determined a solution that would work for them and their needs. The homeowners were confident in our proposal of our Aprilaire Dehumidifier, Foamax Wall Panels, and our CleanSpace Encapsulation System, so they signed the contract and followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by introducing themselves to the homeowners and ensuring all of their questions were answered. After a thorough introduction, our team got to work and began the installation by installing our Foamax Wall Panels around the crawl space wall perimeter. Our Foamax is a special foam insulation barrier that makes the crawl space warmer, saves money on energy costs, and prevents water from seeping through the walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier to seal the entire crawl space, which is used to transform the crawl space into a clean, dry, and energy-efficient part of the home. The last system our team installed was our Aprilaire with its hanging kit. Our Aprilaire Dehumidifier provides healthy air and reduces viruses and contaminants. The homeowners were thrilled with the work and were beautified by the transformation!
