Basement Waterproofing, Crawl Space & Foundation Repair in New Whiteland

For this project, our team installed one AmeriDrain Drainage System with a 100-foot discharge line to effectively carry water away from the foundation. To further protect the crawlspace, we laid a 6-mil vapor barrier and completed four new vent replacements. A new crawlspace access door was installed to improve durability and ease of entry, while four downspout extensions, each 15 feet in length, were added to help direct roof runoff safely away from the home.

The installation team completed the installation of 138 linear feet of AmeriDrain interior crawlspace drainage system along the foundation perimeter to effectively intercept groundwater intrusion and relieve hydrostatic pressure at the footing level. The drainage system was carefully positioned to ensure consistent water collection and proper flow toward the sump location, providing reliable moisture management throughout the crawlspace. To manage the collected water, one AmeriSump sump station was installed to efficiently collect and discharge groundwater away from the home through a dedicated exterior discharge line. The sump system was integrated with the drainage network to provide continuous protection against water accumulation beneath the structure. To further control ground moisture and humidity, 1,235 square feet of reinforced vapor barrier was installed across the crawlspace floor and sealed along foundation surfaces and penetrations to create a continuous moisture barrier. This system helps reduce moisture migration from the soil, protect structural components from humidity-related deterioration, and improve the overall crawlspace environment. Together, these improvements provide comprehensive water management and long-term protection for the home's foundation and structural framing.

A basement crack repair was performed to restore the integrity of the foundation and prevent water intrusion. The process began with cleaning and preparing the crack to ensure proper adhesion of repair materials. A high-quality sealant and bonding agent were applied to fill and seal the gap, creating a watertight barrier against leaks. This repair not only stops moisture from entering the basement but also helps maintain the strength and stability of the foundation, protecting the home from further structural damage.

The installation team completed a combination of structural repairs and moisture-control improvements within the crawlspace to enhance overall stability and performance. The project included the installation of one AmeriSump®sump station to effectively collect and discharge groundwater away from the home, helping to reduce moisture intrusion and maintain a dry environment. To address ground moisture, 1,200 square feet of 6-mil vapor barrier was installed across the crawlspace floor to limit moisture migration and reduce humidity levels. Structural repairs included replacement of 9 linear feet of sill plate to restore proper bearing at the foundation, installation of 9 sistered joists to reinforce weakened floor framing, and the addition of 6 box header caps to improve load transfer and support at key structural points. Together, these improvements provide enhanced water management, restore structural integrity, and contribute to a more stable, dry, and durable crawlspace environment.

Our expert crew completed a full crawlspace restoration by performing a thorough crawlspace cleanout, removing debris and organic materials to prepare the area for a complete moisture management system. Once the crawlspace was cleaned, we installed 170 linear feet of the AmeriDrain interior drainage system to capture groundwater and direct it to a newly installed SuperSump sump pump system. This combination provides dependable water removal, relieves hydrostatic pressure beneath the crawlspace, and helps prevent standing water and future moisture intrusion. To further protect the home, our team applied Timbor wood treatment to 830 square feet of exposed framing and structural lumber. This professional borate-based treatment helps protect against mold, mildew, wood-decaying fungi, and wood-destroying insects, preserving the integrity of the crawlspace structure. To complete the project, we installed 830 square feet of CleanSpace crawlspace encapsulation, creating a durable moisture barrier that isolates the crawlspace from ground moisture and excess humidity. The encapsulation system works together with the drainage system and SuperSump pump to improve air quality, reduce musty odors, increase energy efficiency, and protect the home's structural components from moisture-related damage. This comprehensive crawlspace waterproofing and encapsulation system provides the homeowner with a clean, dry, and healthy crawlspace that is built for long-term performance and peace of mind.

For this project, we installed one SuperSump sump station, a highly efficient sump system designed to keep the basement dry and protect against water intrusion. To provide an additional layer of security in case of a power outage, we added one UltraSump battery backup system, ensuring the sump pump remains operational during emergencies. In addition, we performed two SealFlex crack repairs on foundation walls where water seepage was a concern. SealFlex provides a permanent, flexible seal that moves with the wall, preventing future leaks and maintaining structural integrity.

This project involved a complete crawlspace drainage and access improvement system to protect the home from water intrusion and structural issues. The work included the installation of 246 linear feet of the AmeriDrain Crawlspace Drainage System, strategically placed along the interior perimeter to capture and direct groundwater away from the foundation. To ensure efficient water removal, we installed two AmeriSump sump stations, providing a dual-pump setup for optimal protection and redundancy during heavy rainfall or high water table conditions. Additionally, we upgraded the crawlspace with two new steel crawlspace access doors, offering secure, durable entry points that resist corrosion and improve overall energy efficiency. For exterior safety and drainage enhancement, we installed two area wells, which prevent soil and debris buildup around basement windows while facilitating proper water management.

Our crew installed approximately 165 linear feet of AmeriDrain drainage system to effectively collect and manage groundwater around the foundation and direct it to one SuperSump sump pump station for reliable water removal. In addition, approximately 1,300 square feet of CleanSpace encapsulation system was installed throughout the crawlspace to create a continuous vapor barrier, helping to control moisture, reduce humidity, and protect the structural components of the home. A Santa Fe Sedona dehumidifier was also installed to actively regulate moisture levels and improve overall air quality. As part of the structural improvements, two floor joists were sistered to reinforce weakened framing, and one concrete block poured pad was installed to provide a stable and properly supported bearing point. Together, these upgrades improve moisture control, structural stability, and long-term performance of the crawlspace and foundation system.

The AmeriDrain drainage system installation consisted of a total of 149 linear feet, designed to efficiently manage surface water and improve site drainage. The system was properly laid out, excavated, and installed to ensure consistent slope and optimal water flow. AmeriDrain components were securely set in place and connected to provide a continuous, durable drainage path. Upon completion, the system was inspected for proper alignment and performance, helping to reduce water accumulation and enhance long-term drainage reliability for the site.

The scope of work includes the installation of approximately 1,300 square feet of CleanSpace encapsulation system to create a continuous and durable vapor barrier throughout the crawlspace. This system helps control ground moisture, reduce humidity levels, and protect structural components from moisture-related damage. In addition, one Santa Fe Sedona dehumidifier is installed to actively regulate humidity and improve overall air quality within the crawlspace. Together, these upgrades provide long-term moisture control, enhance energy efficiency, and contribute to a cleaner, healthier, and more stable crawlspace environment.

This homeowner reached out to Americrawl after discovering mold growth and musty odors coming from their crawl space. Moisture buildup over time had led to the development of surface mold on wood framing and insulation, raising concerns about indoor air quality and long-term structural impact. Our team began the project with a full crawl space cleanout, removing all debris, deteriorated insulation, and organic material that could contribute to continued mold growth or poor air conditions. This thorough cleaning process was essential to prepare the area for effective treatment and protection. Following the cleanout, we performed professional mold remediation, applying an EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment to all affected wood surfaces. This treatment effectively kills active mold and inhibits future growth, creating a healthier environment both in the crawl space and throughout the home. To prevent further moisture intrusion and protect against future mold issues, we installed a durable vapor barrier across the floor of the crawl space. This barrier helps to seal off ground moisture, reduce humidity levels, and create a cleaner, more controlled environment beneath the home
