Basement and Crawl Space Waterproofing in Brownsburg

For this crawlspace waterproofing project, our crew installed 135 linear feet of AmeriDrain drainage system designed to collect and direct groundwater away from the foundation. This system provides a long-term solution to prevent standing water, soil saturation, and moisture buildup beneath the home. To ensure efficient water removal, an AmeriSump sump station was installed. This dependable sump system works in conjunction with the AmeriDrain to keep the crawlspace dry even during heavy rainfall or rising groundwater levels. The area was then sealed with 1,492 square feet of CleanSpace encapsulation system, creating a durable vapor barrier across the entire crawlspace floor and walls. This encapsulation effectively blocks moisture, improves air quality, and helps protect the home’s wooden structure from mold, rot, and humidity damage.

For this exterior water management project, our team installed three buried downspout extensions to help redirect roof runoff safely away from the home’s foundation. Each extension was connected to the existing gutter system and buried underground for a clean, unobtrusive appearance. The extensions were run a total of 60 feet in length, with each line terminating at a dry well designed to disperse water efficiently into the soil. This setup ensures that rainwater is directed far from the foundation, preventing pooling, erosion, and potential basement or crawlspace water intrusion.

To restore the home’s structural integrity, Americrawl’s crew  replaced damaged floor joists with new, lumber, ensuring proper load support and stability. Sections of the sill plate between the home’s walls and foundation were removed and replaced where rot had compromised. The rim joist and plate were also repaired or replaced as needed, sealing gaps and restoring a tight structural connection. To improve accessibility and protection, a new crawl space access door was installed. This upgrade allows for easier entry during future inspections.

This project includes installing a full interior drainage system, upgrading the sump system, and addressing structural moisture issues through targeted crack repairs. A total of 198 linear feet of AkwaGuard interior basement drainage system will be installed along the interior perimeter. This system is designed to collect groundwater seepage at the footing/wall joint and channel it directly to the sump station, preventing flooding, dampness, and hydrostatic pressure buildup. The project also includes the installation of one SuperSump sump station, providing high-capacity pumping, an airtight lid, and a durable liner for reliable water removal. The SuperSump system ensures continuous protection against rising water levels and helps maintain a dry basement environment. Additionally, the scope of work includes crack repairs on the basement walls. All identified cracks will be cleaned, prepped, and sealed using appropriate repair materials to prevent water intrusion and protect the structural integrity of the foundation walls.

A homeowner in Brownsburg, Indiana, contacted Americrawl to repair a wet basement and create a cleaner, drier, and more usable space. To solve the water intrusion issues, our team installed 126 linear feet of basement drainage designed to capture and redirect groundwater before it can enter the living area. A high-performance sump pump with a discharge line and battery backup system was also installed to provide reliable basement waterproofing protection, even during power outages. To enhance the appearance of the basement, 12 feet of DecoWall was added, creating a bright, attractive finished-wall look while resisting moisture and mold growth. These basement waterproofing solutions work together to help keep the basement dry, protect the home's foundation, and provide long-term peace of mind for the homeowner.

A homeowner in Brownsburg, Indiana contacted Americrawl to address a wet crawlspace that was experiencing ongoing moisture intrusion and high humidity levels. To create a dry, healthy, and energy-efficient crawlspace environment, Americrawl installed 204 linear feet of interior crawlspace drainage to collect and direct groundwater to a high-performance sump pump system with a discharge line. The crawlspace was then fully encapsulated with 1,513 square feet of CleanSpace® vapor barrier, helping to isolate the home from ground moisture and improve indoor air quality. A professional-grade dehumidifier was added to control humidity and prevent mold growth, while a TimBor® wood treatment was applied to protect the structural wood components from mold, mildew a wood-destroying organisms. This comprehensive crawlspace waterproofing and encapsulation system provides long-term moisture control and helps maintain a cleaner, healthier foundation.
