Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Repair in Anderson, IN

December 21, 2005 | Anderson , IN

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.

This project included a combination of structural wood repairs and crawl space waterproofing upgrades. Our team replaced 30 feet of rim joist and plate, completed 18 feet of sill plate repair, and installed 1 sister joist to reinforce weakened structural framing. To address moisture intrusion, we installed 138 linear feet of AmeriDrain drainage system along the crawl space perimeter, directing groundwater into one AmeriSump sump station for reliable water removal. The moisture control system was further improved with 900 square feet of vapor barrier, providing a sealed moisture barrier across the crawl space floor. Additionally, seven crawl space vent replacements were installed to improve ventilation and overall system efficiency.

Americrawl provided a complete solution to repair a wet crawlspace in Anderson, Indiana. The project began with a full debris clean-out, followed by the installation of a 1,144 sq. ft. drainage system designed to capture and redirect groundwater to a reliable sump pump with a durable sump pump liner. A discharge line with a bubbler well was added to carry water safely away from the foundation. To further protect the space, a 1,144 sq. ft. vapor barrier was installed to seal the crawlspace from ground moisture. Americrawl also replaced seven foundation vents, upgraded the crawlspace door and frame, and added 114 linear feet of 2” foundation foam insulation for improved energy efficiency and moisture control. These comprehensive crawlspace repair solutions help ensure a dry, healthy, and protected foundation for years to come.

The Americrawl team completed a full 1,450-square-foot crawl space cleanout to prepare the area for a complete moisture control system. A 1,450-square-foot CleanSpace encapsulation system was installed to seal the ground and walls, providing long-term protection against humidity and mold growth. A new M53 Zoeller sump pump was installed to replace the existing unit, ensuring reliable water removal. Additionally, a Sedona dehumidifier was added to maintain consistent air quality and moisture levels. The project also included the installation of a new steel crawl space access door for durability and easy entry. To protect and preserve the wood structures, 1,150 square feet of Timbor Spray was applied throughout the crawl space.

Americrawl completed a full crawl space cleanout and encapsulation project for this homeowner to address ongoing moisture and structural concerns. The project began with a complete crawl space cleanout, removing debris and preparing the area for installation. A 136-foot AmeriDrain drainage system was installed to effectively capture and redirect groundwater away from the foundation. This system was paired with one AmeriSump sump station to ensure proper collection and discharge of water from the crawl space. The team then installed 850 square feet of CleanSpace encapsulation system, sealing the crawl space floor and walls with a heavy-duty vapor barrier to block humidity and prevent mold growth. A new crawl space access door was also added, providing a clean, secure entry point for maintenance and inspection. To further protect the wood framing, 850 square feet of Timbor Spray treatment was applied to all exposed wood surfaces, safeguarding against mold, fungi, and insect damage.

Americrawl completed a crawl space waterproofing and structural repair project that included the installation of 139 linear feet of AmeriDrain drainage system, one AmeriSump sump station, and 1,385 square feet of vapor barrier to protect the area from moisture and humidity. During inspection, sections of the sill plate were found to be deteriorated from long-term moisture exposure. Our team replaced 10 feet of damaged sill plate with new pressure-treated lumber, restoring the integrity of the foundation support. The newly installed AmeriDrain system efficiently channels groundwater into the AmeriSump pump system, which discharges it safely away from the home. The 6-mil vapor barrier was then placed across the crawl space floor to reduce humidity, mold potential, and future wood damage.
