Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Repair in Anderson, IN

May 23, 2008 | Anderson , In

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.

Americrawls crew installed 70 linear feet of AmeriDrain drainage system to capture groundwater and direct it to a newly installed AmeriSump sump station, ensuring reliable water removal from the crawl space. Once the drainage was in place, our team installed 585 square feet of CleanSpace encapsulation system, sealing the crawl space from outside air and moisture to create a controlled, dry environment. In addition, we completed 585 square feet of professional mold removal, eliminating mold growth on wood surfaces and restoring a safe, healthy space under the home.

We installed 5 adjustable SmartJack support posts along the main center beam in the basement to address sagging floors and restore proper structural support. These galvanized steel posts are engineered for strength and durability, capable of supporting heavy loads and correcting floor settlement issues. Each post was installed on a solid concrete footing to ensure long-term stability and prevent further movement. The adjustable design allows for fine-tuning over time, ensuring the floor system remains level and secure.

This project involved the installation of 210 linear feet of the AmeriDrain Drainage System, designed to effectively manage groundwater and prevent moisture intrusion in the crawl space. To enhance water removal efficiency, we installed one AmeriSump sump station, providing a reliable discharge point for collected water. In addition, we installed a high-quality 6-mil vapor barrier across the crawl space floor, offering superior moisture protection and reducing humidity levels. This barrier plays a crucial role in improving indoor air quality and protecting structural components from long-term damage caused by moisture. As part of the project, we also completed structural wood repairs, addressing compromised sill plates, rim joists, and other framing members affected by moisture or deterioration. This reinforcement ensures the stability, safety, and longevity of the home’s foundation and support structure.

This home received a waterproofing upgrade with the installation of 138 linear feet of the AkwaGuard Basement Drainage System. This system was designed to collect and direct water away from the foundation, helping to keep the basement dry and protected. A SuperSump sump station was installed to ensure reliable pumping capacity, while an UltraSump battery backup system was added in case of power outages. In addition, the crawl spaces attached to the basement were treated with a full Timbor spray application, safeguarding all exposed wood against mold, mildew.

Our team began this project with a full crawl space cleanout, removing debris and preparing the area for installation. To manage water intrusion, we installed 138 feet of the AmeriDrain Drainage System along the perimeter. For added protection, the crawl space was sealed with 1,100 square feet of the CleanSpace Encapsulation System, helping to control moisture and create a healthier environment. We also applied 1,100 square feet of Timbor Spray to protect the wood components from mold, mildew, and future fungal growth. In addition to moisture control, we performed structural wood repairs, including the replacement of 14 feet of sill plate and reinforcement with 3 sister joists to restore strength and stability to the floor system.
