Basement Waterproofing, Crawl Space & Foundation Repair in New Palestine

For this wet crawlspace repair project for a previous customer in New Palestine, Indiana, Americrawl provided a comprehensive crawlspace waterproofing and encapsulation solution designed to help protect the home's structural integrity and improve indoor air quality. The project included the installation of 1,549 square feet of CleanSpace® crawlspace encapsulation liner to create a durable moisture barrier that helps reduce excess humidity, water vapor, and mold-friendly conditions. A new crawlspace dehumidifier was installed to maintain proper humidity levels year-round, while a replacement sump pump was added to efficiently remove groundwater and help keep the crawlspace dry. Our team also replaced 4 feet of damaged sill plate to restore structural support, installed a new crawlspace access door to improve energy efficiency and help seal out outside moisture and pests, and completed debris removal to create a cleaner, healthier crawlspace environment. Together, these proven crawlspace repair solutions help provide long-term moisture control, structural protection, and a healthier home.

The installation team completed a comprehensive crawlspace waterproofing and moisture-control project designed to protect the home from groundwater intrusion, excess humidity, and mold-related concerns. The work included the installation of 166 linear feet of AmeriDrain interior crawlspace drainage system along the foundation perimeter to intercept groundwater seepage and relieve hydrostatic pressure at the footing level. The drainage system was routed to one AmeriSump sump station, which was installed to efficiently collect and discharge water away from the home through a dedicated exterior discharge line. To further control moisture conditions beneath the home, 1,468 square feet of reinforced vapor barrier was installed across the crawlspace floor and sealed around foundation surfaces and penetrations to create a continuous moisture barrier. This system helps prevent ground moisture from entering the crawlspace environment, reducing humidity levels and protecting structural components from moisture-related deterioration. In conjunction with the vapor barrier installation, Timbor wood treatment spray was applied throughout the crawlspace to exposed framing members and structural wood surfaces. This borate-based treatment helps inhibit mold growth, protects against fungal decay, and contributes to a healthier crawlspace environment. The project was completed with the installation of one steel crawlspace access door, providing a durable, secure, and weather-resistant entry point while helping maintain the integrity of the moisture-control system. Together, these improvements create a cleaner, drier, and more protected crawlspace designed for long-term performance and structural preservation.

For this project, our crew completed a series of improvements to both the drainage and structural integrity of the crawlspace. We installed 135 feet of AmeriDrain Crawlspace Drainage System, designed to effectively capture and redirect groundwater away from the foundation, helping to keep the space dry and protected. To further support water management, we added an AmeriSump sump station, ensuring reliable removal of any collected water and reducing the risk of flooding or moisture buildup. Structural repairs were also a key part of this job. Our team re-leveled the center beam to restore proper support throughout the crawlspace and completed six floor joist repairs to strengthen the home’s framing system. In addition, we replaced eight feet of rim joist and plate to address areas weakened by moisture damage. Lastly, we installed a durable vapor barrier, providing a protective layer that helps control humidity, reduce mold growth, and create a cleaner and healthier crawlspace environment.

Americrawl provided a complete wet crawlspace repair solution for a customer in Indianapolis, Indiana, designed to eliminate moisture problems and protect the home’s foundation. The project included installing a 1532 sq. ft. drainage system and a sump pump with discharge line and bubbler well to effectively manage groundwater and prevent standing water issues. A 1724 sq. ft. CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed to seal the crawlspace and block humidity from the soil. The team also performed a crawlspace access door replacement for improved entry and protection, and applied TimBor spray to help prevent mold, mildew, and wood rot—ensuring a cleaner, healthier, and more energy-efficient crawlspace environment.

Americrawl completed a 1290 sq ft subfloor replacement for a returning customer at a different building location. Our team used durable materials and expert installation techniques to restore structural strength and stability. This crawlspace repair and foundation solution ensures long-lasting protection, improved home safety, and quality craftsmanship backed by Americrawl’s trusted reputation.

We installed 135 linear feet of the AmeriDrain Drainage System to provide superior groundwater management and keep the crawl space dry. To further protect against moisture, the area was encapsulated with 1,330 square feet of CleanSpace encapsulation, creating a durable seal that improves air quality and prevents mold growth. For structural reinforcement, our team installed a 4-foot wood helper beam beneath the furnace, addressing weak points and ensuring proper load distribution. To stabilize and support the beam, we added two adjustable SmartJack posts, which allow precise height adjustments and long-term structural stability.

This project involves a full crawl space restoration and moisture-control system installation designed to improve drainage, reduce humidity, and protect the home’s structural components. Work begins with a complete cleanout of the crawl space, removing debris, organic material, and any loose insulation to prepare the area for repairs and moisture-control installation. A comprehensive drainage solution will be installed, including 176 linear feet of AmeriDrain crawl-space drainage system placed along the interior perimeter to direct groundwater and moisture to a central collection point. This system will be connected to one AmeriSump sump station, equipped to efficiently pump collected water away from the foundation and reduce standing moisture. Access improvements include the installation of one steel crawl-space access unit, providing a durable and secure entry point for future inspections and maintenance. To control ground moisture, 1,336 square feet of vapor barrier will be installed across the entire crawl-space floor. Seams and edges will be overlapped and sealed to create a continuous moisture shield. For wood protection and long-term pest prevention, 1,336 square feet of Tim-bor treatment will be applied to exposed framing and surfaces. This borate-based treatment helps prevent wood decay, mold, and wood-destroying insects. Structural repairs include 3 feet of rim joist and plate treatment as well as 3 feet of sill plate repair, where deteriorated material will be removed and replaced with new pressure-treated lumber securely tied into the existing framing.

Our expert crew completed a comprehensive crawlspace structural repair project to address deteriorated framing and reinforce the home's floor system. The work included replacing 27 linear feet of rim joist and plate and 56 linear feet of sill plate to restore compromised structural wood components and improve the support along the foundation perimeter. To further strengthen the floor system, our crew installed three sister joists alongside existing floor joists to reinforce weakened areas. In addition, nine full-length sister joists were installed to provide additional structural reinforcement and improve the overall stability of the flooring system. The project also included the installation of 56 box header caps to reinforce the affected framing connections and provide additional support where needed. These structural improvements help strengthen the crawlspace framing, improve load distribution, and support the long-term stability and performance of the home's floor system.
