Why did the customer contact us?

The customer originally contacted Americrawl after noticing several warning signs that pointed to a serious crawl space moisture issue. They had been dealing with a persistent musty odor throughout the lower level of their home, which became more noticeable after heavy rains. In addition to the smell, they observed increased humidity inside the house.

After doing some research, the homeowner became concerned about the possibility of mold growth and structural damage, both of which can result from prolonged exposure to crawl space moisture. They also mentioned that their heating and cooling bills had been rising, even though their thermostat settings hadn't changed—another common symptom of a wet, unsealed crawl space.

Concerned about the health of their family and the long-term integrity of their home, the homeowner reached out to Americrawl for a professional assessment and permanent solution. They chose us because of our reputation for crawl space waterproofing, encapsulation, and our use of proven products like CleanSpace and AmeriDrain.

Solutions provided:

At Americrawl, we recently completed a **crawl space repair project** in Pendleton, Indiana, using two of our most trusted solutions—**AmeriDrain crawl space drainage system** and **CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system**. The homeowner contacted us after noticing musty odors and rising humidity levels throughout the house. After a thorough inspection, we found water seepage, high moisture content, and early signs of mold growth under the home.

Our crawl space experts designed a custom solution focused on moisture control, structural protection, and long-term energy efficiency. Our approach combined effective water drainage, vapor barrier installation, and indoor air quality improvements.

The first step was addressing the water intrusion. We installed the AmeriDrain crawl space drainage system, specifically engineered to capture and redirect water entering the crawl space. The drainage tile lies along the perimeter and was connected to the customer’s existing sump pump as requested by the customer, allowing water to be safely removed from the home.

With the drainage system in place, we moved on to encapsulation. We installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 20-mil thick polyethylene liner that seals the crawl space from outside moisture and air. We applied the CleanSpace® liner across the crawl space floor and walls, sealing all joints, seams, and openings for a continuous vapor barrier.

This liner protects the home from ground moisture and drafts. The result is a clean, dry, and usable space beneath the home

With the AmeriDrain and CleanSpace systems in place, this Pendleton homeowner now has a dry and healthy crawl space. If you’re noticing moisture, musty smells, or uneven floors in your home, contact Americrawl today. We specialize in crawl space encapsulation, foundation repair, and basement waterproofing—serving Indiana homes with trusted solutions that last.
