Crawl Space Clean-Out and 980 Sq. Ft. CleanSpace Encapsulation – Completed Project Americrawl recently completed a comprehensive crawl space restoration project that included a full construction debris clean-out and installation of a 980 square foot CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system. This service was designed to improve moisture control, air quality, and overall foundation protection for the homeowner. The project began with the removal of all construction debris, organic materials, and contaminants from the crawl space area. Our experienced team performed a detailed crawl space clean-out to ensure the space was fully prepped for encapsulation. Eliminating debris not only improved accessibility but also removed potential sources of mold growth, pests, and odors, creating a clean environment ready for long-term crawl space repair solutions. Following the clean-out, Americrawl installed a premium CleanSpace® vapor barrier across 980 square feet of crawl space. This heavy-duty, 20-mil thick liner was precisely fitted to the floor and walls, with all seams carefully sealed to create an airtight, waterproof barrier. We also wrapped support piers to ensure complete crawl space encapsulation and prevent moisture intrusion from any surface area. The CleanSpace® system now isolates the home from the damp earth, dramatically improving indoor air quality, lowering humidity levels, and enhancing energy efficiency. The homeowner can expect reduced risk of mold and mildew, and enhanced structural protection as part of our comprehensive Americrawl solution. Throughout the project, Americrawl’s certified technicians maintained the highest standards of professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. Using our proven methods for crawl space moisture control and foundation protection, we delivered a finished product that exceeded the homeowner’s expectations — providing a cleaner, healthier, and more energy-efficient home environment. This completed service is a prime example of why homeowners across Indiana trust Americrawl for their crawl space repair, encapsulation, and basement waterproofing needs. We take pride in delivering reliable, long-lasting solutions backed by industry-leading warranties and expert craftsmanship. Looking to transform your crawl space?

**Inspection & Diagnosis** Our lead inspector, Daniel, contacted the customer 30 minutes prior to the home inspection to discuss the issues that needed to be addressed for the home to pass the inspection. When Daniel arrived at the property, the customer had expressed their concerns and showed him access to the crawl space. Daniel then entered the crawl space to conduct his inspection. While in the space, he noticed that there was no sump pump or sump station to manage the pockets of water present. After thoroughly examining the area, Daniel provided an estimate for the necessary work. The estimate included the installation of an AmeriSump sump pump station, a clean-out, and a 6-mil poly vapor barrier. **Installation & Repair** When they arrived, Crew Foreman Celeo and his team greeted the customer and explained that they would be installing an AmeriSystem sump pump along with a discharge line. This involved digging a hole that was 22 inches deep and 20 inches wide for the sump pump liner. After installing the sump pump, it would be connected to a 15-foot discharge line that would be buried in her yard. Once the sump pump was in place, the crew cleaned up any debris and leveled the crawlspace. Celeo and his team also installed a 6-mil poly vapor barrier across the entire floor of the crawlspace to cover the soil. **Results & Customer Satisfaction** The customer was pleased to resolve the issues noted by her home inspector. **Team Members Involved** Inspector Daniel Crew Foreman Celeo

Americrawl, a trusted leader in crawlspace encapsulation, basement waterproofing, and foundation repair throughout Indiana, recently completed an extensive project designed to protect and stabilize a residential property. This project incorporated advanced crawlspace drainage solutions, structural reinforcement, and comprehensive moisture management using our top-quality Americrawl products. Project Overview: This particular crawlspace project involved the full installation of Americrawl’s proprietary products and services, including AmeriDrain Crawlspace Drainage, AmeriSump Sump Pump Installation, structural wood repairs, and a full crawlspace vapor barrier system with protective wood treatment applications. Crawlspace Drainage System Installation: To manage groundwater seepage and prevent future flooding, our team installed 132 linear feet of AmeriDrain crawlspace drainage. AmeriDrain is an innovative system designed to capture excess moisture at the perimeter of the crawlspace and channel it away efficiently. It prevents water accumulation that can lead to mold, mildew, and foundation problems. This premium drainage system was expertly placed around the interior perimeter, ensuring complete coverage and maximum water capture. AmeriDrain’s flexibility and high-performance materials make it a perfect choice for long-term moisture management, particularly in Indiana's fluctuating weather conditions. Sump Pump Installation: Complementing the drainage system, we installed an AmeriSump sump pump system with a complete discharge line. The AmeriSump is one of the industry’s most reliable sump pumps, designed to remove water quickly and effectively from the crawlspace. Equipped with a powerful motor and a durable, clog-resistant design, the AmeriSump protects against water damage, mold growth, and the structural weakening that can result from prolonged moisture exposure. Structural Repairs: Upon inspection, we identified significant issues with the crawlspace’s wooden supports, necessitating immediate structural repairs. Our team replaced and reinforced critical wooden components, ensuring the home’s stability for years to come: 14 sister joists were installed alongside existing weakened floor joists to add strength and distribute load more evenly. 22 feet of new sill plate was replaced where moisture damage had compromised the original wood’s integrity. The sill plate is crucial for anchoring the home’s structure to the foundation. 23 box header caps were fitted to strengthen the connection between the floor joists and the rim joists, helping to prevent future sagging or shifting. 10 feet of rim joist was repaired and replaced to restore full support to the exterior walls. Our team follows best practices in structural repair, utilizing pressure-treated lumber and proven installation techniques to ensure long-lasting stability. Crawlspace Vapor Barrier Installation: Moisture control is key to preserving the crawlspace environment and protecting the home’s foundation. We installed 1,040 square feet of 6mil crawlspace vapor barrier, covering the ground to help prevent moisture intrusion. Timbor Treatment Application: In addition to physical repairs and moisture barriers, we treated the entire crawlspace wood structure with 1,040 square feet of Timbor spray. Timbor is a borate-based wood preservative that protects against mold and mildew. This eco-friendly treatment penetrates deeply into the wood, offering long-term protection without compromising indoor air quality. The application of Timbor helps ensure that all wooden elements within the crawlspace remain structurally sound and protected against future mold or rot. At Americrawl, we pride ourselves on delivering industry-leading crawlspace waterproofing, foundation repair, and basement drainage solutions. Family-owned and operated, we bring decades of experience to every project, using only the highest-quality products like AmeriDrain, AmeriSump, and Timbor to protect your biggest investment — your home.

**Inspection & Diagnosis** Inspector Daniel was assigned to the property and contacted the customer en route to provide an estimated time of arrival. The home was located in downtown Indianapolis, approximately 20 minutes from Americrawl’s Southside Indianapolis office. Upon arrival, Daniel inspected the drywall cracks and quickly formed a hypothesis regarding potential structural inadequacies in the crawl space. The homeowner granted access to the crawl space, where Daniel conducted a thorough inspection of the foundation. It was discovered that the home lacked a central support beam—an essential structural element that had been omitted during construction. The engineered floor joists spanned an excessive 18 feet without a supporting load-bearing beam. This configuration had caused the floors to sag slightly in the center, resulting in cracks along the interior walls and ceilings. To properly support the weight of the home and restore structural integrity, Daniel recommended the installation of a 4-inch steel I-beam system, reinforced with SmartJack adjustable piers, strategically positioned along the center of the crawl space. **Installation & Repair** Crew Foreman Brian was assigned to carry out the installation. Upon arrival, he greeted the homeowner at the front door and took the time to thoroughly review the proposal to ensure the customer understood the recommended repair process. The installation began with the excavation of SmartJack bases. Brian and his crew dug and prepared gravel-filled footings, compacting the material to create a stable foundation. Once the gravel was set, concrete blocks were placed to support the SmartJacks. The crew then moved on to the challenging task of installing a 46-foot-long, 4-inch steel I-beam through the center span of the crawl space. Precision was key; each section was carefully positioned and anchored. Once the I-beam was in place, the SmartJacks were installed and adjusted to begin gently lifting and leveling the structure, effectively restoring stability to the center of the home. **Results & Customer Satisfaction** The repairs successfully addressed the structural deficiency that had caused the drywall cracking. With the new support system in place, the floors were re-leveled, and pressure was redistributed properly throughout the crawl space. The homeowner expressed relief and satisfaction with both the professionalism of the Americrawl team and the results of the repair. With the issue resolved, the home’s structural performance was significantly improved, providing peace of mind and long-term stability. **Team Members Involved** - Inspector: Daniel - Crew Foreman: Brian **Products & Materials Used** - 46 feet of 4-inch Steel I-Beam - 7 SmartJack Adjustable Piers - Crushed Gravel & Concrete Support Bases

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.
