Musty Crawl Space gets New Look in Clear Lake, IA
Wanting to prevent any mold growth and get rid of musty odors, a homeowner in Clear Lake, IA decided to look for a service in the nearby area that would help their needs. They came across our American Waterworks website and team by looking up services in the area and were interested in our FREE estimate service. They scheduled an appointment and in the coming weeks were greeted by one of our Design Specialists, Nick Skillman. He informed the homeowner that an excellent solution to the problems they were having included the installation of our products, CleanSpace and SmartJacks. He explained that CleanSpace insulation would help protect their crawl space from moisture and humidity from the walls. In addition, installing a SmartJack would provide solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space. He explained that both of these products would be beneficial for the health of the homeowners and the quality of the house. A few weeks later, one of our Foreman, Diego Barrientos, and his crew made a visit to the site and installed the two products, resulting in a finished and clean crawl space.
