Basement Waterproofing Services in Lafayette

For this structural repair project, our team installed a 10-foot, 4-inch steel I-beam to provide added support and leveling for the home’s floor system. The beam was carefully placed beneath the existing floor joists to restore proper alignment and structural stability. To support the new beam, three SmartJack adjustable steel support posts were installed. These posts were set on engineered footings to ensure long-term strength and stability, allowing for precise height adjustments to correct any sagging or uneven floors. Prior to installation, approximately 100 square feet of soil was excavated within the crawlspace to create the necessary clearance for the beam and support system.

Our expert crew addressed an active water intrusion issue caused by a pipe penetrating through the foundation wall. To properly resolve the problem, the exterior of the foundation was excavated at the point of penetration to fully expose the affected area. Once exposed, the pipe and surrounding foundation wall were professionally sealed on the exterior using industrial-grade epoxy to create a watertight barrier. The interior side of the wall penetration was also cleaned, prepared, and sealed with epoxy to provide an additional layer of protection. This comprehensive inside-and-out repair permanently stopped the leak, preventing further water intrusion and protecting the basement from future moisture damage.

The project included 128 linear feet of our AkwaGuard basement drainage system, carefully placed along the perimeter to capture and redirect groundwater before it could enter the basement. This system ensures that water is collected efficiently and carried away from the foundation, keeping the basement dry. To complete the system, we installed one SuperSump sump pump station. The SuperSump provides powerful, reliable pumping performance and peace of mind for the homeowner, ensuring that collected water is quickly and effectively removed from the property.

Our team successfully completed a full crawl space waterproofing and protection project that addressed both water management and structural preservation needs. The scope of work included the installation of 170 feet of AmeriDrain drainage system, designed to capture groundwater efficiently and direct it away from the home’s foundation. To ensure proper water removal, we installed one SuperSump sump pump system, which provides reliable performance for long-term protection. For moisture and air quality control, we encapsulated the entire crawl space with 1,616 square feet of CleanSpace vapor barrier, creating a durable and sealed environment that prevents humidity, mold growth, and musty odors. To further protect all exposed wooden components, we applied 1,616 square feet of Timbor treatment spray, safeguarding the structural integrity of the floor system from wood decay and pest activity. Additionally, we installed a 40-foot discharge line extension to efficiently direct water away from the home, reducing the risk of water pooling around the foundation.

The crew installed 86 feet of AmeriDrain crawlspace drainage system to capture and redirect groundwater away from the foundation. A new AmeriSump sump station was added to ensure reliable water removal and protection against moisture intrusion. To further improve moisture control, the team installed 500 square feet of 6-mil vapor barrier, providing a sealed ground covering to reduce humidity and protect the crawlspace environment.

To repair this wet crawlspace in Lafayette, Indiana, Americrawl installed 122 linear feet of crawlspace drainage to effectively capture and direct groundwater away from the foundation. A high-performance sump pump with a discharge line was added to remove collected water and help keep the crawlspace dry year-round. To further control moisture and improve the overall crawlspace environment, a dehumidifier was installed to reduce humidity levels and help prevent mold growth, wood rot, and musty odors. The space was also protected with 960 square feet of durable vapor barrier, creating a moisture-resistant barrier between the earth and the crawlspace. Together, these waterproofing and moisture control solutions provide a cleaner, healthier, and more energy-efficient crawlspace while helping to protect the home's structural integrity.

A homeowner in Lafayette, Indiana contacted Americrawl to address concerns in their crawl space after a new addition was constructed. Our team performed a thorough crawl space cleanup to remove construction debris and builder-related mess, helping restore a clean and healthy environment beneath the home. To ensure complete moisture protection, we extended the existing CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system into the new addition, creating a continuous vapor barrier across the entire crawl space. By enhancing the encapsulation system, we helped improve energy efficiency, reduce moisture intrusion, and protect the home's structure from mold, wood rot, and humidity-related issues. This upgraded crawl space solution provides long-term protection and peace of mind for the homeowner.

The installation team completed the installation of one Brown Turtle crawlspace access door to provide a durable, secure, and weather-resistant entry point to the crawlspace. The access door was carefully fitted and sealed to help prevent the intrusion of moisture, pests, and outside air while improving the overall appearance and functionality of the crawlspace entrance. Constructed from high-quality materials designed for long-term performance, the Turtle access door offers improved durability compared to traditional crawlspace access covers and helps maintain the integrity of the crawlspace environment. This upgrade enhances accessibility while providing additional protection for the area beneath the home.

This project involved replacing 65 feet of damaged 2x4 sill plate to restore the integrity of the home’s floor system. To control moisture and improve overall crawlspace conditions, our team installed 900 square feet of 6-mil vapor barrier, providing a durable protective layer across the ground. In addition, we applied 900 square feet of Timbor spray treatment to safeguard all exposed wood surfaces against mold, mildew, and pests.

To control water intrusion, our team installed the AmeriDrain® interior drainage system along the crawl space perimeter. This system directs groundwater to the sump pump and discharges away from the foundation, keeping the space dry even during the rainy season. A polyethylene vapor barrier was then installed across the crawl space floor to reduce ground moisture. The barrier was laid with overlapping seams, secured around piers, and anchored in place. Finally, the entire crawl space’s exposed wood surfaces were treated with Tim-bor®, a borate-based solution that helps prevent mold growth, wood decay, and damage from wood-destroying insects. This step provides long-term protection for critical structural components like floor joists, beams, and sill plates.

This project consists of installing a comprehensive CleanSpace encapsulation system across 2,250 square feet of crawl-space area. Work includes cleaning and preparing the space, addressing any debris or surface irregularities, and installing the CleanSpace vapor barrier to create a fully sealed moisture-controlled environment. The encapsulation system will help protect the home from humidity, mold growth, and vapor intrusion while improving overall energy efficiency and long-term structural performance. Upon completion, the crawl space will be cleaner, drier, and significantly better protected against moisture-related issues.

The installation team completed a comprehensive crawlspace waterproofing and structural repair project designed to improve moisture control and restore the integrity of the floor system. The work included the installation of 134 linear feet of AmeriDrain interior crawlspace drainage system along the foundation perimeter to intercept groundwater intrusion and relieve hydrostatic pressure at the footing level. The drainage system was routed to one SuperSump sump station, which was installed to efficiently collect and discharge water away from the home through a dedicated exterior discharge line. To create a clean and controlled crawlspace environment, 1,150 square feet of the CleanSpace encapsulation system was installed across the crawlspace floor and sealed along foundation surfaces and penetrations to form a continuous, durable vapor barrier. This system helps prevent ground moisture from entering the crawlspace, reduces humidity levels, and protects structural components from moisture-related deterioration. The project was completed with the installation of one steel crawlspace access door, providing a secure, durable, and weather-resistant entry point while helping maintain the integrity of the encapsulation system. In addition to the waterproofing improvements, structural repairs were performed to restore proper support beneath the home. The repairs included the replacement of 30 linear feet of sill plate and the installation of six sister joists to reinforce weakened floor framing, improve load distribution, and enhance the overall stability of the floor system. Together, these upgrades provide long-term moisture protection, improved structural performance, and a healthier crawlspace environment.
