Basement Waterproofing Services in Indianapolis

Our crew began the project by performing bore testing to evaluate subsurface soil conditions and identify suitable bearing strata for foundation stabilization. This testing allowed for accurate determination of pier placement, depth requirements, and load capacity to ensure the most effective support solution. Based on the bore test results, seven Ideal Helical Piers were strategically installed at designated locations along the affected foundation areas. Each helical pier was mechanically advanced into the ground using specialized equipment until it reached stable, load-bearing soil, achieving the required torque values to confirm proper capacity. Once installed to specification, the piers were securely attached to the foundation to transfer the structural load away from weak or shifting soils. This helical pier system is designed to permanently stabilize the foundation, prevent further settlement, and improve overall structural performance. The completed work provides a durable, long-term solution to protect the home from ongoing foundation movement and related damage.

Our crew installed nine DynaPier push piers at the garage and at a corner of the crawlspace to address foundation settlement and stabilize the affected foundation walls. Each push pier was hydraulically driven deep into the ground until stable, load-bearing soil or bedrock was reached, ensuring a solid and reliable support point. Once proper depth and resistance were achieved, the piers were securely bracketed to the existing foundation walls to transfer the structural load away from unstable soils. This process is designed to permanently halt further movement and prevent additional settlement or structural damage. The DynaPier system provides long-term stabilization to the garage and crawlspace foundation walls, helping to restore structural integrity and improve overall performance of the foundation. This work reduces the risk of future cracking, shifting, or misalignment and offers a durable, permanent solution to protect the home from ongoing foundation movement.

Our crew leader and crew completed a comprehensive structural reinforcement project focused on restoring proper support to the home’s floor system. The scope of work included a center beam replacement using 2x10 lumber to address compromised framing and improve overall load distribution. In addition, a 5-foot section of 4-inch steel I-beam was installed beneath the furnace to provide dedicated support for this concentrated load. Four full-length floor joists were installed to replace or reinforce weakened members, ensuring improved strength and stability throughout the floor system. To complete the reinforcement, six adjustable SmartJacks were installed and properly set to provide consistent, long-term support and allow for future adjustments as needed. This work significantly enhances structural integrity, reduces floor deflection, and ensures safe, reliable support for the affected areas of the home.

This customer completed the project in two phases to fully address basement water management and moisture control. During the initial phase, our expert crew installed approximately 140 linear feet of AkwaGuard drainage system to collect and redirect groundwater along the basement perimeter. The system was tied into one AmeriSump sump pump station to provide reliable water removal, along with a 35-foot discharge line to safely carry water away from the foundation. Approximately one month later, the customer requested an additional phase of work, during which 140 linear feet of CleanSpace wall covering was installed along the basement walls. The CleanSpace wall system helps manage wall moisture by directing seepage into the drainage system while improving overall basement cleanliness, durability, and long-term moisture control.

Our expert crew installed approximately 47 linear feet of AkwaGuard basement drainage system to effectively collect and manage groundwater along the basement perimeter, helping to relieve hydrostatic pressure and prevent water intrusion. The drainage system is connected to one SuperSump sump pump station, providing reliable, high-capacity water removal to safely discharge water away from the foundation. An IceGuard is installed on the sump discharge line to prevent freezing or blockage during cold weather conditions, ensuring dependable year-round performance. In addition, approximately 47 linear feet of CleanSpace wall covering is installed along the basement walls to serve as a moisture barrier, directing wall seepage into the drainage system while improving the overall cleanliness, durability, and moisture control of the basement environment.

Our experienced crew installed a job that includes multiple structural repairs and reinforcements to restore proper support and stability to the home’s floor system. An 18-foot section of the center beam is replaced, along with an additional 13-foot center beam replacement, to address compromised or deteriorated structural members. Nine floor joists are sistered to reinforce weakened joists and improve load-bearing capacity. In addition, approximately 9 feet of rim joist and sill plate are repaired or replaced to restore structural integrity at the perimeter. A 23-foot steel I-beam is installed to provide enhanced floor support and is set on one poured concrete pad beneath the center beam to ensure a stable bearing surface. The I-beam is further supported by six SmartJacks, which are properly positioned and adjusted to evenly distribute loads and stabilize the floor system. Collectively, this work corrects structural deficiencies, reduces floor deflection, and provides long-term reinforcement to the home’s support structure.
