Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Bismarck, ND, knew they needed to check on their crawl space. During this investigation, the homeowner noticed fallen insulation throughout the crawl space. Unsure why their insulation was falling, the homeowner wanted to find answers. The homeowner knew their friend had a similar issue, so they asked them for a recommendation on the company to work with. Their friend recommended working with us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner went to our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. Soon after the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Kole, one of our Design Specialists. Kole arrived at the home and began thoroughly investigating the crawl space. After taking a closer look, Kole determined there was too much moisture in the crawl space and the insulation became wet, adding to the weight of the insulation. Kole was able to suggest a solution to the homeowner and they agreed. Next, Kole sent the plans to the office and our Foreman, Roel, and his crew. Roel and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First, Roel and his crew began by taking out all the old insulation and clearing out the debris. Once the debris was cleared, Roel and his crew were able to lay the Drainage Matting down. Once the Drainage Matting was laid, the crew shifted their focus to installing CleanSpace on the basement floor and an inch up the foundation walls. Roel and his crew successfully encapsulated the entire crawl space, so they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was thankful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to encapsulate its home's struggling foundation. 

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. 

Dan G. of Burlington, ND has had groundwater issues in the past that have been mitigated, and he was looking for a vapor barrier for his crawl space. He came across American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian. Ian went to Dan's house, carefully inspected his crawl space, and determined a solution that would work for him. Dan was confident in the proposal, so he signed the contract and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Austin, and his production crew installed 1,350 feet of our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier System around the entire crawl space. This vapor barrier is designed to prevent mold, mildew, and humidity, it keeps the area warm and dry, and it provides room for additional storage space. Dan was grateful for the work that was done and had a wonderful experience!

Mark S. in New Lisbon, WI had a dirt crawlspace under his home. Moisture was the main concern and was leading to air quality concerns in the living space. The exposed soil was also a significant heat loss concern. He started looking into crawl space encapsulation and contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution to fit Mark’s needs. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew began the project by removing the debris from the crawl space. Then, drainage matting was placed on the dirt soil, and Terra Block insulation was place on top to create a thermal barrier. Next, the crew installed the rim joist insulation, Cleanspace vapor barrier on the floor, and Foamax wall insulation on the walls to create an airtight barrier between the soil below and the building materials. Mark is glad he chose a long-term solution to protect his home from the consequences that typically come with having a dirt crawl space.
