Greens Fork's Foundation Repair, Basement Waterproofing, & Crawl Space Contracting Experts

This homeowner in Greens Fork, Indiana was concerned about sagging floors in her living room above the crawl space and she noticed a musty smell.  She began searching for reliable companies online and reached out to Basement Systems of Indiana through a free estimate link on the website.  We set her up with a free estimate with our inspector Jay to come out and provide a thorough inspection of the crawl space to diagnose problems and propose a solution.  

During the inspection, Jay first began walking around the home to identify anything out of the ordinary that could be causing water to enter the crawl space and therefore be a cause of the moisture issues in the crawl space.  Once he entered the crawl space, it was evident that a lack of a vapor barrier was causing moisture to rise up from the ground creating potential mold growth and wood rot.  He also noticed that the floor joists in the crawl space had signs of lacking support, which were causing the floors in the home to sag.  After the inspection, he met with the homeowner to discuss his finding and propose a solution that included having a vapor barrier installed on the crawl space ground and structural repairs to stabilize the floor joists.  

Our Foreman Joe and his crew members Brian and Isaac were tasked with the crawl space repairs.  The crew had to first remove a significant amount of debris and rotten insulation that was causing a moisture build up in the crawl space.  Once the ground was clear, the crew sealed it with CleanSpace vapor barrier to prevent moisture and water from passing through the ground.  SmartJack support posts were installed to stabilize the sagging floors and eliminate the unevenness of the floors inside the home.
