Location: Anderson, IN

Solutions provided:

The installation team completed a comprehensive crawlspace waterproofing and structural restoration project designed to address both moisture intrusion and compromised framing conditions beneath the home. The work included the installation of 146 linear feet of AmeriDrain interior crawlspace drainage system along the foundation perimeter to intercept groundwater intrusion and relieve hydrostatic pressure at the footing level. The drainage system was directed to one AmeriSump sump station, which was installed to efficiently collect and discharge water away from the home through a dedicated exterior discharge line. The project began with a complete crawlspace cleanout, removing debris and organic materials to create a clean and accessible work area. In addition, three crawlspace vents were replaced to improve ventilation and restore the condition of the foundation openings. To further control moisture and humidity, a 6-mil black vapor barrier was installed across the crawlspace floor to help prevent ground moisture from migrating into the space. Extensive structural wood repairs were also completed to restore the integrity of the floor system and supporting framework. The repairs included replacement of 90 linear feet of sill plate, 30 linear feet of rim joist and plate, installation of four full-length floor joists, and reinforcement of the existing framing with twenty sister joists. These repairs were performed to replace moisture-damaged and deteriorated wood components, improve load distribution, and restore proper structural support throughout the affected areas.
