Americrawl recently completed a comprehensive crawl space encapsulation project for a homeowner in Indianapolis, Indiana. The 500 square foot crawl space had been suffering from excess moisture, musty odors, and mold concerns. These issues not only threatened the home’s structural integrity but also posed health risks to the residents. The solution involved a complete crawl space transformation using industry-leading products and techniques available through Americrawl. First, our experienced team began with a full cleanout of debris from the crawl space. Removing organic material and damaged insulation is essential for preventing mold growth and improving air quality. With the area fully cleared, we installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 20-mil thick liner that provides a durable, seal across the floors and walls. This encapsulation system is a cornerstone of Americrawl’s crawl space repair services and helps block moisture in the crawlspace. Next, we installed a Sedona dehumidifier, one of the most energy-efficient crawl space dehumidifiers on the market. This high-performance unit maintains ideal humidity levels, eliminating dampness and preventing future mold and mildew. The Sedona dehumidifier integrates seamlessly with the encapsulation system, creating a clean, dry environment that protects the homeowner’s investment. Americrawl focuses on long-term solutions for crawl space moisture, humidity, and structural stability. This Indianapolis homeowner now benefits from improved indoor air quality, increased energy efficiency, and long-lasting protection against moisture and foundation damage. Whether you’re dealing with standing water, sagging floors, or moldy insulation, Americrawl offers professional crawl space encapsulation in Indiana that restores and protects your home from the ground up. For expert crawl space repair, foundation waterproofing, and moisture control services, trust Americrawl — One of Indiana’s leaders in crawl space encapsulation, foundation repair, and basement waterproofing.

Americrawl, a trusted leader in crawlspace encapsulation, basement waterproofing, and foundation repair throughout Indiana, recently completed an extensive project designed to protect and stabilize a residential property. This project incorporated advanced crawlspace drainage solutions, structural reinforcement, and comprehensive moisture management using our top-quality Americrawl products. Project Overview: This particular crawlspace project involved the full installation of Americrawl’s proprietary products and services, including AmeriDrain Crawlspace Drainage, AmeriSump Sump Pump Installation, structural wood repairs, and a full crawlspace vapor barrier system with protective wood treatment applications. Crawlspace Drainage System Installation: To manage groundwater seepage and prevent future flooding, our team installed 132 linear feet of AmeriDrain crawlspace drainage. AmeriDrain is an innovative system designed to capture excess moisture at the perimeter of the crawlspace and channel it away efficiently. It prevents water accumulation that can lead to mold, mildew, and foundation problems. This premium drainage system was expertly placed around the interior perimeter, ensuring complete coverage and maximum water capture. AmeriDrain’s flexibility and high-performance materials make it a perfect choice for long-term moisture management, particularly in Indiana's fluctuating weather conditions. Sump Pump Installation: Complementing the drainage system, we installed an AmeriSump sump pump system with a complete discharge line. The AmeriSump is one of the industry’s most reliable sump pumps, designed to remove water quickly and effectively from the crawlspace. Equipped with a powerful motor and a durable, clog-resistant design, the AmeriSump protects against water damage, mold growth, and the structural weakening that can result from prolonged moisture exposure. Structural Repairs: Upon inspection, we identified significant issues with the crawlspace’s wooden supports, necessitating immediate structural repairs. Our team replaced and reinforced critical wooden components, ensuring the home’s stability for years to come: 14 sister joists were installed alongside existing weakened floor joists to add strength and distribute load more evenly. 22 feet of new sill plate was replaced where moisture damage had compromised the original wood’s integrity. The sill plate is crucial for anchoring the home’s structure to the foundation. 23 box header caps were fitted to strengthen the connection between the floor joists and the rim joists, helping to prevent future sagging or shifting. 10 feet of rim joist was repaired and replaced to restore full support to the exterior walls. Our team follows best practices in structural repair, utilizing pressure-treated lumber and proven installation techniques to ensure long-lasting stability. Crawlspace Vapor Barrier Installation: Moisture control is key to preserving the crawlspace environment and protecting the home’s foundation. We installed 1,040 square feet of 6mil crawlspace vapor barrier, covering the ground to help prevent moisture intrusion. Timbor Treatment Application: In addition to physical repairs and moisture barriers, we treated the entire crawlspace wood structure with 1,040 square feet of Timbor spray. Timbor is a borate-based wood preservative that protects against mold and mildew. This eco-friendly treatment penetrates deeply into the wood, offering long-term protection without compromising indoor air quality. The application of Timbor helps ensure that all wooden elements within the crawlspace remain structurally sound and protected against future mold or rot. At Americrawl, we pride ourselves on delivering industry-leading crawlspace waterproofing, foundation repair, and basement drainage solutions. Family-owned and operated, we bring decades of experience to every project, using only the highest-quality products like AmeriDrain, AmeriSump, and Timbor to protect your biggest investment — your home. If you’re facing crawlspace moisture problems, structural concerns, or want to learn more about full crawlspace encapsulation solutions, contact Americrawl today for a free, no-obligation inspection.

We provided the customer with a comprehensive moisture control and insulation solution. First, we removed the existing fiberglass insulation, which can retain moisture and lead to mold growth in crawl spaces. Following the removal, we installed a durable 6-mil vapor barrier across the crawl space floor to help prevent ground moisture from rising and affecting the home’s air quality and structural integrity. Finally, we applied Timbor, a borate-based solution, to protect the wood surfaces against mold and fungi, ensuring long-term protection and a healthier crawl space environment.

**Inspection Process & Findings** Tyler, one of our experienced inspectors, was assigned to the property. He contacted the homeowner approximately 30 minutes prior to the scheduled appointment to confirm the time, review the reported concerns, and ensure access would be available upon arrival. Upon arriving at the property, Tyler was greeted by the homeowner, who provided an overview of the issues previously cited by the home inspector and directed him to the crawl space access point. Once inside the crawl space, Tyler conducted a comprehensive inspection, carefully evaluating the structural elements, environmental conditions, and overall integrity of the area. During his assessment, Tyler identified significant termite damage in the vicinity of the center beam and furnace area. The damage had compromised the strength and stability of the affected floor joists, raising concerns about long-term structural performance. It was also noted that the original builder had failed to properly box in the framing near the furnace, creating further complications. In addition to the structural concerns, there were signs of excess moisture accumulation, which is common in poorly ventilated or unsealed crawl spaces. Following his inspection, Tyler discussed his findings in detail with the homeowner and provided a comprehensive foundation repair cost, including both structural reinforcement and moisture management recommendations. **Repair & Installation** Shortly after the inspection and approval of the foundation repair cost, Crew Foreman Brian was dispatched to the residence to carry out the necessary repairs. Upon arrival, Brian introduced himself to the customer, walked them through the scope of work, and ensured all questions were addressed before beginning the installation process. **The repairs included* Structural Reinforcement: Brian and his crew installed seven (7) new floor joists along with a 4-inch steel I-beam and SmartJacks directly beneath the furnace area. This beam provided critical support where the previous structure had been weakened due to termite damage and poor initial construction. The reinforcement restored integrity and evenness to the floor, ensuring it would pass home inspection standards. Moisture Control: To address the high humidity and reduce the risk of future water damage, the crew installed a 6-mil polyethylene vapor barrier across the entire crawl space floor. This durable material helps prevent ground moisture from entering the crawl space, which in turn contributes to improved indoor air quality and energy efficiency. The installation was completed efficiently and professionally, with all components securely installed and thoroughly tested to ensure long-term effectiveness. **Outcome & Customer Satisfaction** The customer expressed high satisfaction with the work performed by the Americrawl team. The structural repairs not only resolved the concerns raised by the home inspector but also gave the homeowner peace of mind knowing the home’s foundation was secure. As a result, the home passed its follow-up inspection with no further issues, allowing the real estate transaction to proceed without delay. In the end, both the seller and the prospective buyer were pleased with the outcome. The new homeowner was especially appreciative of the reinforced flooring system and the professional handling of the situation by the Americrawl staff. **Team Members Involved** Inspector: Tyler Crew Foreman: Brian Business Office Manager: Teresa **Products & Materials Used** Structural Wood Components 4” Steel I-Beam 6-mil Polyethylene Vapor Barrier

**Inspection & Diagnosis** Inspector Daniel was assigned to the property and contacted the customer en route to provide an estimated time of arrival. The home was located in downtown Indianapolis, approximately 20 minutes from Americrawl’s Southside Indianapolis office. Upon arrival, Daniel inspected the drywall cracks and quickly formed a hypothesis regarding potential structural inadequacies in the crawl space. The homeowner granted access to the crawl space, where Daniel conducted a thorough inspection of the foundation. It was discovered that the home lacked a central support beam—an essential structural element that had been omitted during construction. The engineered floor joists spanned an excessive 18 feet without a supporting load-bearing beam. This configuration had caused the floors to sag slightly in the center, resulting in cracks along the interior walls and ceilings. To properly support the weight of the home and restore structural integrity, Daniel recommended the installation of a 4-inch steel I-beam system, reinforced with SmartJack adjustable piers, strategically positioned along the center of the crawl space. **Installation & Repair** Crew Foreman Brian was assigned to carry out the installation. Upon arrival, he greeted the homeowner at the front door and took the time to thoroughly review the proposal to ensure the customer understood the recommended repair process. The installation began with the excavation of SmartJack bases. Brian and his crew dug and prepared gravel-filled footings, compacting the material to create a stable foundation. Once the gravel was set, concrete blocks were placed to support the SmartJacks. The crew then moved on to the challenging task of installing a 46-foot-long, 4-inch steel I-beam through the center span of the crawl space. Precision was key; each section was carefully positioned and anchored. Once the I-beam was in place, the SmartJacks were installed and adjusted to begin gently lifting and leveling the structure, effectively restoring stability to the center of the home. **Results & Customer Satisfaction** The repairs successfully addressed the structural deficiency that had caused the drywall cracking. With the new support system in place, the floors were re-leveled, and pressure was redistributed properly throughout the crawl space. The homeowner expressed relief and satisfaction with both the professionalism of the Americrawl team and the results of the repair. With the issue resolved, the home’s structural performance was significantly improved, providing peace of mind and long-term stability. **Team Members Involved** - Inspector: Daniel - Crew Foreman: Brian **Products & Materials Used** - 46 feet of 4-inch Steel I-Beam - 7 SmartJack Adjustable Piers - Crushed Gravel & Concrete Support Bases
