Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Mason City, IA, wanted to get a head start on winterizing their crawl space. Unsure of who to work with, the homeowner began looking into crawl space encapsulation companies closest to their home. The homeowner went to Google and looked into "crawl space encapsulation near Mason City, IA". Near the top of the list was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look at the services we offer. The homeowner saw our impressive crawl space before and after photo albums and knew we were the best choice for them. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Romeo, to inspect the crawl space. Romeo noticed that the crawl space had some mold and mildew growth throughout the crawl space. To ensure their crawl space stays healthy, Romeo recommended full encapsulation. The homeowner agreed with Romeos' proposal and he passed it along to our office to build the project. Once the project was built, the plans were assigned to our Foreman, Diego, and his crew. Once they received the plans, Diego and his crew traveled to Mason City and started production. Diego and his crew started by making sure the crawl space was cleared. Once it was cleared, the crew laid Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. Once the Drainage Matting was secured, the crew shifted to installing CleanSpace on the crawl space floors and walls. Since it was a smaller encapsulation, the crew was able to complete the project swiftly. The homeowner was in awe of the excellent transformation by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to repair and secure its homeowner's suffering crawl spaces. 

A homeowner in Austin, MN called American Waterworks because she was getting water in the basement.  As the temperature was warming up and the snow was melting, water was pooling in the homeowner's basement. We got them set up for a free estimate to solve their water issue. Our design specialist came up with a personalized plan for the homeowner. The homeowner was confident in the resolution so they signed the proposal and got set up a date to start. 

On the day of the installation our crew arrived and began work. They started the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard, which is an interior drainage system that prevents mud clogs and collects water leakage from basement walls. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which is designed to prevent water from seeping through the walls and save money on energy costs.  To finish up the project, our crew filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied a new layer of concrete over them, ensuring the space was neater and cleaner than they found it.

A follow-up call was made to the homeowner and they were very satisfied with the work that was done. The homeowner stated that the crew did a great job, was very clean and efficient. 

Tara from Austin, MN started to notice that her basement walls were experiencing moisture. This concerned Tara since the vapor and moisture were affecting the foundation of her home. She then contacted the Appointment center and proceeded to claim her FREE estimate which entitles her to a home inspection by one of our Design Specialists. Once scheduled our Design Specialist then attended Tara's property and began a thorough home inspection. After a careful inspection, our Design Specialist suggested to Tara that she should invest in a CleanSpace Wall System. Tara felt comfortable with the solution and scheduled the date of installation. 

One of our Foreman and their Production team then proceeded to install the CleanSpace wall System around the perimeter of the basement. Our CleanSpace Wall System is attached to the walls with plastic fasteners so it never falls. It also prevents any humidity from invading the walls and gives the basement and clean and bright appearance with a 25-year-warranty. Tara was satisfied with the outcome, and was happy she no longer had to worry about her basement walls being moist or damaged!

Connie K. of Kensett, IA had water leaking into her basement and her floor joists from above were sagging into her crawl space. She was nervous about the issues she was having, so she asked her peers what kind of contractor could help her with this specific problem. One of her friends worked with American Waterworks for their home repair needs, so they referred her to American Waterworks, so she set up an inspection. Our service technician, Mitchell Sobotta, went to her home, carefully examined the problems, and drew up a solution for her basement waterproofing and foundation repair needs. Connie was confident in Mitchell's proposal and presentation, so she signed the contract and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Lane, and his production team began the project by installing four of our SmartJacks, which are made to correct issues like sloping floors. Our SmartJacks can support more than 60,000 pounds and are galvanized to prevent corrosion. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier to cover the entire floor. This special barrier is made to prevent mold and humidity and transforms the crawl space into a usable storage space. Lastly, our team installed our Foamax Wall Panels around the entire basement wall perimeter. Our Foamax is designed to provide comfort and energy-efficiency while making the walls look clean and bright. Connie was very happy with the repairs and had a great experience from start to finish!
