Before & After Photos

Jeff M. of Audubon, MN met our team at one of our Home Show events. After learning a bit about what the American Waterworks team does, he realized that his crawlspace desperately needed our attention. Before we stepped in, Jeff's crawlspace was subjected to the elements, leading to an increase in moisture AND energy bills.

We sent out our Design Specialist, Kole, to provide a free estimate, diagnose the problem, and come up with a solution. After a careful inspection, Kole proposed our CleanSpace Vapor System. Jeff felt confident that all his questions were answered, so he went ahead and scheduled the installation date.

Our foreman, Aurturo, and his production team installed drainage matting as well as 463 square feet of our CleanSpace system to encapsulate the crawlspace. Our CleanSpace Vapor System is mechanically connected with plastic fasteners to walls so it never falls. It also prevents any humidity from invading the walls and gives the area and clean and bright appearance with a 25-year-warranty. Jeff was happy that his home was protected against things like rot, mold, and structural issues, and his peace of mind was restored.

Our CleanSpace Encapsulation System can provide moisture control for any size crawl space, so reach out for your free estimate today!

A resident of Gonvick, MN had a musty and dirty crawl space that they wanted to use for extra storage space and other house needs. They got in contact with American Waterworks after web-chatting us on our website and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist went to the homeowner's home to take a look at their crawl space and determine a solution. Our Design Specialist proposed our TerraBlock and CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier. The resident was confident in the solution so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production crew began the process by installing our TerraBlock over the crawl space dirt floor. This product provides insulation and moisture protection and is durable enough to withstand people walking on it. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier, which transforms the crawl space into a dry, clean, and energy-efficient part of the home. It also prevents mold, insects, and other pests from invading the space. The installation took less than a day and the homeowner was very satisfied with the final product!

Water was leaking through the parking ramp of The Historic Union, which is an apartment building in Fargo, ND. Devon L., one of the managers of the apartment building, was worried about flooding and water moisture problems, so he wanted to get it repaired right away. He got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to the apartment building ramp, carefully inspected the problems, and came up with a solution that fit their needs. Devon was confident with Ian's proposal and drawn-out solution, so he moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his crew began the project by installing our DryTrak Drainpipe System around the floor perimeter of the parking ramp. Our DryTrak System is a great option for thick concrete slabs and gets apoxied above the floor with no jackhammering, leaving a slight opening along the top to collect water leaking from the wall. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold and humidity, covers any divots or holes, and gives the space a neat and clean appearance.

A homeowner in Rutland, ND, was concerned about a foul odor coming from their crawl space. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner looked for a crawl space repair company to provide them with an explanation. Following a friend's referral, the homeowner decided to sign up for a FREE estimate with American Waterworks. We sent our Design Specialist, Ian, to the property to find the cause of the issue. Following his in-depth inspection, Ian discovered that the crawl space was unencapsulating, leading to unwanted water in the space which creates wood rot, mold, and mildew. Ian recommended that the crawl space be repaired to prevent any further damage. The homeowners agreed so the solution preparation began. Before the crew's arrival, the homeowners were asked to clear any debris from the crawl space and move the washer. Once the crew arrived, they ensured that the crawl space was cleared and leveled before repairs could start. First, the crew installed CleanSpace on the west, south, and east crawl space floors. As detailed in the plans, the crew was allowed to wrap up the wall as needed with CleanSpace. Once the CleanSpace was installed, the crew moved to apply Sprayfoam along the exterior facing joist pockets. Sprayfoam was applied on a whole wall in the seat crawlspace. The homeowner was pleased with the work done by the crew. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

Brandon and Brandi, from Grygla, MN, were growing more concerned over the state of their wet crawl space. If a crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, issues can extend to all parts of the home. They wanted to understand why it was happening, make sure that the issue was corrected, and restore peace of mind moving forward. After deciding on our company, we set them up with a FREE inspection. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist  headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he made recommendations as to how American Waterworks could help. Our customers agreed with the recommendations, and work began shortly after. 

Our team installed the recommended drainage matting; a dimpled matting that gets installed onto the crawl space floor, giving any excess water a route to flow through the space and be disposed of at an external site such as a drain or a sump system. Next, the crew permanently waterproofed the space by installing our SmartPipe and Drain Tile drainage system. The next step was to install our CleanSpace vapor barrier to address water entering through the wall. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic barrier that gets installed right onto the problem walls, and works to catch water entering the space through cracks and holes in the wall. This also reduces the home's chances of being exposed to radon. The drainage system now properly guides water to the Super Sump Plus pump, and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. Brandon and Brandi were grateful for the support and guidance of American Waterworks in protecting their home!
