Basement waterproofing, Crawl Space Repair, & Foundation Repair Ellettsville

In Ellettsville, a homeowner was dealing with moisture concerns and poor drainage beneath their home. Inspector Devon recommended a full crawl space encapsulation paired with a high-performance sump and discharge system.

Foreman Joe and his crew installed the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to seal out ground moisture and improve air quality. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was added to maintain low humidity levels year-round.

To manage water intrusion, the team installed the SuperSump pump system featuring a cast iron pump, SuperSump liner, airtight lid with floor drain, CleanPump stand, WaterWatch alarm, and UltraSump battery backup. The discharge line includes IceGuard fittings to prevent freezing or clogging, a LawnScape outlet, and 15 feet of exterior piping to direct water safely away from the foundation.

An EZ-Drainage system was integrated to enhance water flow and performance when combined with the full encapsulation. This comprehensive solution delivers a dry, energy-efficient, and structurally protected crawl space—ready to perform in all seasons.

In Ellettsville, a homeowner needed a dependable solution to protect their basement from water intrusion and power outages. Inspector Rob recommended a high-performance sump system with full discharge protection.

Foreman Joe and his crew installed the TripleSafe pump system, featuring a twin liner, 1/3 hp cast iron primary pump, 1/2 hp cast iron backup pump, and an UltraSump battery backup with control box, alarm, and a 120 amp sealed maintenance-free battery. The setup includes three CleanPump stands, an airtight lid with floor drain, and a WaterWatch alarm system for early leak detection.

To ensure safe water discharge, IceGuard fittings were added to prevent freezing or clogging, and a LawnScape outlet was installed to redirect water away from the foundation. Two electrical outlets were installed where needed to support the pump system and battery backup.

This comprehensive installation delivers peace of mind and long-term protection—keeping the basement dry and secure in all conditions.

In Ellettsville, a homeowner sought to improve energy efficiency and moisture control beneath their home. Inspector Jay recommended a full crawl space encapsulation and insulation overhaul to address long-term concerns.

Foreman Harrison and his crew began by removing and disposing of the existing insulation. They then installed the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system, wrapping all piers and sealing crawl space vents to create a continuous moisture barrier. An EverLast Door was added for a durable, airtight entry.

SilverGlo insulation panels were installed along the crawl space walls, and rim joist insulation was added to reduce energy loss. Steel shims were placed to improve structural contact, and band board blocking was installed to reinforce framing and prevent air infiltration.

This comprehensive upgrade delivers a cleaner, drier, and more energy-efficient crawl space—protecting the home from moisture, drafts, and future structural concerns.

In Ellettsville, a former wood deck had been converted into a room addition, but the homeowner was concerned it might not pass inspection when listing the property in spring. Inspector Mike recommended a structural upgrade to ensure long-term stability and compliance.

Foreman Joe and his crew installed SmartJack bases and used hydraulic jacks to lift the structure approximately 3 inches. Once elevated, SmartJack posts were cut to precise length and secured to stabilize the floor joists and beams. A supplemental beam was added to reinforce the load path and distribute weight evenly across the foundation.

This repair strengthens the room addition, improves structural integrity, and positions the home for a smooth inspection process.

In Ellettsville, a homeowner noticed sinking concrete along the front walkway leading to the entry door—creating uneven steps and potential safety hazards. Inspector Devon recommended a clean, efficient lift paired with drainage improvements to protect the area long-term.

Foreman Beto and his crew pumped two-part polyurethane foam beneath the settled slabs to stabilize and raise the walkway back to a safe, level position. To prevent future washout, they extended the downspouts underground and installed a LawnScape outlet to redirect water away from the foundation.

Finally, NexusPro was applied to seal surface cracks, restoring a smooth finish and protecting the concrete from further damage. The result: a safer, more attractive entryway built to last.

In Ellettsville, uneven concrete around the garage and entry pad was creating both safety and structural concerns. Inspector Mike recommended a targeted lift using polyurethane foam to restore proper elevation.

Foreman Beto and his crew pumped two-part polyurethane foam beneath the designated areas. As the foam expanded, it stabilized the base and gently lifted the sunken slabs—bringing the garage and entry pad back to level.

This quick and precise repair improves safety, curb appeal, and long-term durability with minimal disruption.

Homeowner Ryan had sagging floors in his home and was concerned that this issue was getting worse over time.  He reached out to our Sales Inspector Jay to come out and give a free inspection.  During the inspection, Jay explained that the result of the sagging floors inside the home was caused by failing floor joists and beams around the outside of the crawl space.  

His recommendation was to have our production crew install support beams that could restore straightness and stability to the floors above.  Our production crew got right to work on this unique job that required some assistance from our Production Manager Devon. 

The crew installed SmartJack Support Posts, which are installed by attached steel support beams to your floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor.  The homeowner Ryan was very happy with the results of the job and he no longer has sagging floors in his home.  

Homeowner Mark had several nagging issues in his crawl space including water coming in, high humidity, and sagging floor joists.  He saw a television ad for Basement Systems of Indiana's crawl space repair services, and immediately contacted our appointment center.  Our Sales Inspector Josh went to Mark's home for a free crawl space inspection to come up with effective solutions for each issue.  Josh determined that the sagging floors in Mark's home were a result of the floor joists in the crawl space failing.  He recommended the SmartJack Support System to stabilize the floors above the crawl space.  

The water in the crawl space needed to be removed by a sump pump, so Josh recommended our SuperSump Pump.  For ultimate mold and humidity control, our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier would be the perfect solution for Mark's crawl space.  An encapsulation was also in store for our production crew to prevent moisture from passing through the crawl space floors.  

Our foreman Joe and his crew members Gary and Daulton completed all of these crawl space repairs in just 4 days.  It was a major challenge for the crew who had to tackle flooded crawl space and floor joist repairs in limited space.  The homeowner Mark was very happy that he now had a dry crawl space that was free of high humidity and mold.  He was also pleased with the SmartJacks that repaired his sagging floors inside the home.  If you have a number of crawl space problems like this homeowner, please fill out a free estimate form here: https://www.basementsystemsofindiana.com/free-estimate.html
