Waterproofing and Sump Pump Services in Kokomo

We reinforced and stabilized the foundation, restoring structural integrity and preventing further movement or damage to the home.

We repaired and reinforced the damaged wood, restoring the crawl space’s structural integrity and preventing further damage.

For this project, we began by performing a complete clean-out of the crawlspace, removing any debris, old insulation, and materials that could contribute to moisture issues or mold growth. After the space was fully cleaned, we installed 550 square feet of our premium CleanSpace Encapsulation System. This heavy-duty vapor barrier was carefully sealed to the crawlspace floor and walls, creating a continuous moisture barrier to prevent water intrusion, reduce humidity levels, and protect the structural integrity of the home.

Americrawl completed a series of structural wood repairs to reinforce and stabilize the home’s crawl space framing system. The project included the replacement of 10 feet of rim joist and plate and 23 feet of sill plate due to signs of deterioration and moisture damage. Additionally, technicians installed 8 sister joists to strengthen existing floor joists and provide added support to the flooring system. 5 box header caps were also replaced to restore the integrity of the load-bearing sections along the perimeter walls.

This project involved the removal and replacement of 20 feet of damaged foundation wall in a crawlspace. The existing foundation section was compromised, posing structural and safety concerns for the home. Our team carefully excavated the affected area and demolished the deteriorating foundation wall. Once the removal was complete, we installed a new reinforced foundation section, ensuring proper load-bearing capacity and structural stability. The replacement process included proper footing installation, concrete reinforcement, and moisture protection measures to prevent future deterioration. This repair restores the integrity of the crawlspace and provides a long-term solution for the homeowner.

This crawl space project included the installation of 156 linear feet of AmeriDrain drainage system to effectively manage groundwater and prevent moisture intrusion. Additionally, we installed two SuperSump® sump pump systems for maximum water removal and protection against flooding. To further control humidity and protect the structure, we installed 760 square feet of durable 6-mil vapor barrier across the crawl space floor. This barrier helps with reducing moisture and minimizing the risk of mold growth.

A previous customer in Kokomo, Indiana, contacted Americrawl to address her damp crawlspace that was creating excess moisture beneath the home. To improve the crawlspace environment and help protect the home's structure, a high-performance crawlspace dehumidifier was installed. By controlling humidity levels, the dehumidifier helps reduce condensation, musty odors, and the potential for mold and mildew growth. This moisture control solution is an important part of maintaining a healthier, drier crawlspace and improving overall air quality throughout the home. Americrawl's proven crawlspace repair and moisture management systems help homeowners create a cleaner, more energy-efficient foundation space.

Our crew completed a comprehensive crawlspace improvement project that included the cleanout of approximately 1,382 square feet of crawlspace area, removing debris and preparing the space for system installation. Following the cleanout, approximately 148 linear feet of AmeriDrain drainage system was installed to effectively collect and redirect groundwater along the crawlspace perimeter. The drainage system was tied into one AmeriSump sump station, providing reliable water removal and discharge away from the foundation. To further control moisture, a durable black 6-mil vapor barrier was installed over the crawlspace floor, helping to reduce ground moisture, control humidity, and protect the structural components for long-term performance.

To repair this wet crawlspace in Kokomo, Indiana, Americrawl installed 115 linear feet of interior crawlspace drainage to capture and redirect groundwater, along with a high-performance sump pump and discharge line to efficiently remove water from the crawlspace. The crawlspace was then treated with Tim-bor® spray to help protect exposed wood framing from mold and fungus. To complete the waterproofing and moisture control system, 1,388 square feet of CleanSpace® crawlspace encapsulation was installed, creating a durable vapor barrier that helps seal out ground moisture and humidity. This comprehensive crawlspace repair solution helps provide a cleaner, drier, and healthier crawlspace while protecting the home's structural integrity and improving overall energy efficiency.

During this project, our team installed 28 linear feet of AkwaGuard basement drainage system along the affected section of the basement perimeter. The purpose of this installation was to manage groundwater seepage and protect the basement from moisture intrusion. The new drainage line was tied into the homeowner’s existing sump station, which was inspected and confirmed to be operating properly. This integration allows for efficient water collection and discharge without the need for an additional sump system. The installation process involved excavating a trench along the base of the foundation wall, installing the perforated drainage pipe and AkwaGuard channel, surrounding it with clean drainage stone, and then re-pouring concrete to restore the basement floor to a clean, finished appearance.

This homeowner in Kokomo, Indiana was experiencing concerns with a damp crawlspace that had led to moisture-related damage to the structural components beneath the home. Americrawl provided professional structural wood repair services to restore the strength and stability of the crawlspace framing. Excess moisture in a crawlspace can contribute to wood rot, weakened floor supports, and other structural issues if left untreated. Our crawlspace repair specialists carefully evaluated the damaged areas and repaired compromised wood members to help protect the home's foundation and structural integrity. By addressing the effects of crawlspace moisture, the homeowner now has a safer, more stable crawlspace and greater peace of mind knowing their home is better protected from future moisture-related problems.
