Location: Lafayette, IN

Solutions provided:

To control water intrusion, our team installed the AmeriDrain® interior drainage system along the crawl space perimeter. This system directs groundwater to the sump pump and discharges away from the foundation, keeping the space dry even during the rainy season.
A polyethylene vapor barrier was then installed across the crawl space floor to reduce ground moisture. The barrier was laid with overlapping seams, secured around piers, and anchored in place.
Finally, the entire crawl space’s exposed wood surfaces were treated with Tim-bor®, a borate-based solution that helps prevent mold growth, wood decay, and damage from wood-destroying insects. This step provides long-term protection for critical structural components like floor joists, beams, and sill plates.
