Before & After Photos

For this job, we headed out to Perham, MN, where we assisted a customer who was having issues with bowing wood and water in their crawl space. Our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property and was able to recommend solutions for both of the issues. To address the bowing wood, Richie suggested they have several SmartJacks installed under the main beam of the floorboard. Our SmartJacks have the option to be tightened over time, making it the ideal solution for homeowners who need a long-term fix. Richie suggested our CleanSpace waterproofing encapsulation be installed in the crawl space to keep it dry and energy-efficient. Another excellent project completed by Richie, our Foreman Cameron, and his team!

A customer from Perham, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice that his crawl space was causing issues with his home. When he called in, he noted that he was experiencing unwanted water in the space along with a sinking floor from the room above. He had concerns that if he left the issue unresolved, it would result in damage being done to the structure of the home which would cost more to fix down the road. We set him up with our FREE estimate and our Design Specialist, Richie N headed out to the property to assess the situation. Once Richie had completed his thorough walkthrough, he made several recommendations as to how we could help. First, Richie wanted to wrap the space in our CleanSpace vapor barrier, which is a tarp-like material that traps water and helps deposit it to the appropriate location. Second, Richie recommended our AprilAire dehumidifier, one of the most elite self-draining dehumidifiers on the market. Finally, Richie wanted to address the sagging floor by using our Support Jacks, which are adjustable supplemental support systems used specifically for sagging crawl spaces and can restore them to their original position. Our customer agreed with the suggestions and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew worked quickly to install 12 of our SmartJack support jacks and 1030 sqft of CleanSpace throughout the crawl space, and finished off the job by installing one of our Aprilaire dehumidifiers. Once completed, our customer was happy to know that he didn't need to worry about the structural integrity of his home any longer! 

Reeny and Maureen of Eden Valley, MN had water leaking through the floor of their unfinished basement and they wanted to get it fixed before it became a bigger problem. They did some research on Google and came across American Waterworks and our basement waterproofing repairs. They called our office line to set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. Dylan went to their home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. Reeny and Maureen were confident with the proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Edgar Miranda, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed 64 feet of our WaterGuard Drainage System. Our WaterGuard is one of the most efficient waterproofing repair products. It acts as an underground drain, collects water from basement walls and prevents water clogs. To complete the project, Edgar and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Reeny and Maureen were happy with the work and no longer have to worry about water leaking into their basement! 

Karen E. of Pemberton, MN had water leaking through the windows of her basement and needed them replaced with more protection. After doing some research on the American Waterworks website, she called and got her FREE Estimate scheduled. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Girgen, went to her home to inspect the windows and come up with a solution. Karen was confident with the proposal, so she scheduled the installation. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production crew broke out the concrete around the existing windows and installed our EverLast Basement Windows, which provide much more protection and energy efficiency. Hugo and his crew applied new concrete around the windows to complete the project. Karen was very happy, and the project was done within a day!

A homeowner in Darwin, MN, knew it was time to peek at the crawl space underneath their home. Once they saw the status of their crawl space, they knew they needed a professional to check for any possible damage. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner began to look within a 200-mile radius of their home. Near the top of their list was us, American Waterworks. Our high ratings and reviews caught the homeowner's eye, so they decided to call our Appointment Center and sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists. The Design Specialist arrived at the home and started their thorough inspection of the crawl space. Following his inspection, the Design Specialist determined the crawl space required encapsulation. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they decided to follow along with the suggestion. After they received the stamp approval from the homeowner and the office, they were passed along to our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew. Kiko and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First, the crew started by removing all the debris from the crawl space. Once the space was cleared, the crew shifted their focus to laying the Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. Next, the crew installed CleanSpace in the crawl space floors and walls. Additionally, the crew was asked to wrap the piers in the crawl space. Finally, the crew installed the Everlast crawl space door cover for the crawl space. Once all the products were installed, the crew could clean up their materials and leave the home. The homeowner was impressed with the jaw-dropping crawl space before and after. American Waterworks is happy to encapsulate its homeowner's struggling crawl space
