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

Our crew installed 10 wall anchors to stabilize the basement foundation walls. These anchors were strategically placed to counteract the inward pressure on the bowing walls, providing long-term stability and protection for the home’s foundation. With this installation, the basement walls are now reinforced, reducing the risk of further movement and ensuring a safe and structurally sound environment.

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.

This basement had significant foundation issues, with walls beginning to bow inward due to hydrostatic pressure from the surrounding soil. To stabilize the structure and prevent further movement, our team installed 14 heavy-duty wall anchors along the bowing basement wall. These anchors were driven deep into stable soil outside the foundation and secured to steel anchor plates inside the basement. This system applies constant, adjustable pressure to the wall, effectively halting inward movement and helping to gradually restore the wall to a straighter position.

Americrawl completed an extensive crawl space structural restoration to address wood deterioration and floor instability. The project included replacing 27 feet of rim joist and plate and 43 feet of sill plate, both critical components in supporting the weight of the home and connecting the floor framing to the foundation. To further strengthen the floor system, Americrawl installed 5 sister joists to reinforce weakened sections and 31 full-length replacement floor joists to restore complete load-bearing capacity. Additionally, the crew installed three new poured concrete support pads beneath the main center beam, providing a solid and permanent foundation for structural jacks and ensuring even weight distribution across the crawl space.

For this project, our team installed 166 feet of the AmeriDrain drainage system paired with one AmeriSump sump station to provide reliable water management and protect the crawlspace from standing water. To further control moisture and protect the home’s foundation, we placed 1,500 square feet of 6-mil vapor barrier across the crawlspace floor, creating a strong moisture shield. Additionally, we treated all exposed wood with 1,500 square feet of Timbor spray, offering long-term protection against mold, mildew. To enhance peace of mind, we also added a WaterWatch alarm system, ensuring the homeowner is immediately notified in the event of rising water levels. This complete system gives the crawlspace both structural protection and long-term moisture control.

This project involves comprehensive structural repairs to the floor framing system to restore strength, stability, and long-term durability. The scope of work includes the removal and replacement of 66 feet of deteriorated 2×6 sill plate along the perimeter of the structure. This process involves carefully lifting and supporting the affected sections of the building, removing damaged material, and installing new pressure-treated 2×6 sill plates anchored securely to the foundation. All components will be leveled and properly sealed to ensure a solid connection between the framing and foundation. In addition to the sill plate work, the project includes reinforcing the floor system by installing 45 sistered 2×10 joists. Each sister joist will be fitted alongside existing compromised joists, extending to the maximum feasible length to ensure proper load transfer. Construction adhesive and mechanical fasteners will be used to bond and secure the joists according to structural best practices. The sistering process will restore rigidity, reduce deflection, and strengthen the overall floor structure. The scope also includes the full replacement of 6 floor joists that are beyond repair. These damaged joists will be removed in full and replaced with new, full-length 2×10 joists installed with proper bearing on the sill plate and correctly tied into the existing framing. All connections will meet current building standards and ensure continuity with the surrounding structural members.
