Before & After Photos

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! 

Brian W. of Valley City, ND had a damp and musty crawl space, and he wanted to get it encapsulated. He did some research on our website and took advantage of our webchat. He scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen, to come to his home, inspect his crawl space, and draw out a solution. Brian was comfortable with Richie's solution of our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier, so he signed the proposal and got a date scheduled for the installation.

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team began the project by getting all of the debris out of the crawl space. Next, our team installed 352 feet of our CleanSpace. This special vapor barrier is made to prevent mold and mildew, save money on energy bills, and provide extra storage space to the home. The installation took a day, and the homeowner was happy with the transformation!

After doing some research on the American Waterworks website, Ray set up a FREE Estimate for our Design Specialist, Jeremy Radtke, to come to his home and inspect the problem. After a thorough inspection, Ray was comfortable with Jeremy's design, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Nate Wroblewski, and his production crew installed 510 feet of our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, which is made to prevent mold and humidity, and covers all voids and dents. It also provides the space with a clean and neat appearance. Ray had a great experience from start to finish!

Sue, from Mapleton, ND, was growing more concerned over the state of her wet crawl space. If a a damp crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, issues can extend to all parts of the home. Sue 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 her up with a FREE inspection. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he made recommendations as to how American Waterworks could help. 

First, Ian recommended our drainage matting; a dimpled matting that gets installed onto the floor of the crawl space, 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. Ian's second recommendation was our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp that works to trap any excess moisture in the space, redirecting it to the appropriate disposal site. Our customer agreed with the recommendations and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Jeremiah, and his team ended up installing 1938 sqft of the CleanSpace and a 4' tall Half Wall System in the crawl space. They also worked on installing two of our SmartDrains throughout the crawl space. Our SmartDrains are made specifically to track down water and keep it from invading the crawl space. Sue was very grateful for our team's work to restore her peace of mind so she can enjoy her home without worrying about water intrusion! 

Sandi W. of Belview, MN had water leaking through the cracks of her basement walls, causing her to worry about the value of her home. She went to the Redwood Falls Home Show to find a contractor who could help her. She found American Waterworks and talked to our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, about her water problems, so he set her up with a FREE Estimate. Shane went to her home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After an in-depth and clear examination, Sandi got all her questions answered so she followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Edgar Miranda, and his production crew began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter and forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed 147 feet of our WaterGuard System, which is designed to collect water seepage from basement walls and serve as an underground drain. Next, our team applied our CleanSpace Wall System, which is a plastic vapor barrier made to prevent mold and humidity build-up and protect the basement from water exposure. To complete the project, Edgar and his team covered the open WaterGuard gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Sandi's peace of mind was restored and was grateful she found us at her local home show!
