Americrawl transformed this crawl space by performing soil extraction, installing a reliable sump pump with discharge line, and sealing the area with our CleanSpace® encapsulation. We added a high-efficiency dehumidifier for long-term moisture control and upgraded the crawl space access for easy entry. The result is a clean and healthy space.

To provide a permanent solution, Americrawl installed 4 of Dyna® Push Piers a foundation repair method that transfers the weight of the home from unstable soils to deep, load-bearing strata far below the surface. The installation process began by excavating small sections along the foundation where the piers would be installed. Each steel pier was hydraulically driven into the ground until reaching the proper depth and load-bearing capacity. Heavy-duty brackets were then attached to the foundation footing, allowing the home’s weight to be securely supported by the piers. In some cases, lifting was performed to bring the foundation closer to its original position, helping to close cracks and restore the homes foundation.

This project included the installation of approximately 200 linear feet of AmeriDrain drainage system and two AmeriSump pumps to manage groundwater effectively. About 2,000 square feet of the crawl space was encapsulated with CleanSpace vapor barrier, along with the installation of one Sedona dehumidifier to control moisture and improve air quality. Additional structural and access improvements included replacing or repairing 5 feet of sill plate, sistering three joists for added structural support, and installing one Turtle access entry to provide durable and secure crawl space access.

The project included comprehensive structural and moisture-management improvements within the crawlspace to stabilize the foundation and protect the home long term. Work performed consisted of installing two Dyna Pier push piers at the corner of the crawlspace to permanently stabilize and support the settling foundation. A poured concrete lintel was constructed to restore proper load distribution and reinforce the affected opening. Additional structural repairs included removal and replacement of damaged rim and sill plates, center beam supports, and full-length floor joists, with new poured concrete pads installed to provide proper bearing for the center beam. To address water intrusion and moisture control, an interior drainage system was installed along the crawlspace perimeter and routed to AmeriSump pump systems, followed by installation of a reinforced vapor barrier to encapsulate the crawlspace. Together, these repairs improve structural integrity, control groundwater and humidity, and help ensure long-term durability of the home’s foundation and crawlspace environment.

Brian and crew installed basement wall anchors along the affected walls. These anchors work by applying gradual outward pressure, pulling the walls back toward their original alignment, and locking them into a stable position. This system not only addresses the existing bowing but also provides a permanent safeguard against future movement caused by soil expansion, hydrostatic pressure, and seasonal ground shifts. For added strength, our crew installed twelve 4-inch steel I-beam stabilizers, each measuring 8 feet in length. These beams were anchored securely to the floor and the floor joists above, delivering constant vertical and lateral support to the foundation walls. The combination of wall anchors and steel I-beams provides a dual layer of protection ensuring that both immediate stabilization and long-term structural integrity are achieved.

The scope of work includes the installation of one durable steel crawlspace access door to provide secure and long-lasting entry to the crawlspace area. In addition, a 30-foot steel I-beam is installed beneath the home to provide substantial structural support. The I-beam is carefully set in place and supported by eight SmartJacks, which are properly spaced and anchored to ensure even load distribution. These SmartJacks are adjusted as needed to stabilize and reinforce the existing floor joist system, reducing sagging and deflection while restoring proper support to the floor structure. This system enhances the overall structural integrity of the home and provides a reliable, long-term solution for floor stabilization.

A complete setup for four downspout extensions using PVC requires planning the layout, gathering the right materials, and ensuring proper water flow away from the home’s foundation. For each extension, you would run approximately sixty feet of PVC pipe from the base of the downspout to the discharge point, which helps move roof runoff far enough away to prevent erosion, flooding, or basement moisture. Most installations use 4-inch PVC (either Schedule 40 or SDR-35) because it provides excellent flow capacity and resists clogging, especially during heavy rain. Each 60-foot run typically uses six 10-foot sections of PVC, connected with couplings and sealed using primer and cement, meaning all four extensions generally require about 24 PVC pipes plus 20–24 couplings. At the downspout connection, an aluminum or plastic downspout-to-PVC adapter is attached, often followed by a short vertical piece of PVC and an elbow to direct the pipe toward the ground. The full line should be installed with a gradual slope—ideally about 1/8 inch per foot, so roughly 7–8 inches of total drop across the 60-foot length—to ensure smooth drainage without standing water. These PVC lines can be buried in shallow trenches or run along the surface, but burying them helps protect the pipe and creates a cleaner appearance. At the discharge end, you can attach a pop-up emitter, a daylight opening, a gravel-filled dry well, or even a simple splash block depending on your property’s layout and how you want the water dispersed. Once everything is connected, it’s important to test the system by running water through the downspouts to confirm that the slope is consistent and no joints leak. With all four extensions installed properly, you’ll have a durable, long-lasting drainage system that moves roof water safely and efficiently away from your home.

Our expert crew installed 100 linear feet of the AkwaGuard® basement interior drainage system along the foundation walls to capture seepage and relieve hydrostatic pressure before water could reach the basement floor.
