Foundation, Crawl Space, & Basement Waterproofing Contractors in West Terre Haute

A homeowner in West Terre Haute, Indiana had been dealing with large cracks in his basement wall for years, but recently water started to seep through on to the floor during heavy rain fall.  With no where to drain, the water pooled in a few different spots in the basement causing humidity and dampness in the air.  The homeowner was concerned about possible mold growth and was looking for a permanent solution so he would not have to experience this again even during heavy rains.  

Our certified inspector John met with the homeowner to learn more about how long he had been dealing with the water intrusion and foundation issues in his basement so he could put together the correct solution.  John then went down into the basement to provide a through inspection and took a moisture meter reading to determine where the water was trapped in the walls.  He informed the homeowner that the basement walls needed to be stabilized to prevent and further wall movement and severe foundation damage.  To help address the water seeping through the cracks, an interior perimeter floor drainage system would need to be installed with a sump pump system to remove water from the home.  

Our Foreman Evert and his crew members Miguel, Edwin, and Ramon began breaking out the concrete floor in the basement to prepare for the installation of our WaterGuard drainage system that would be installed around the entire perimeter.  The WaterGuard combined with CleanSpace wall vapor barrier will redirect the water seepage around to a TripleSafe sump pump which will then remove the water out and away from the basement through a discharge line system.  The foundation walls in the basement were permanently stabilized with a total of 6 PowerBraces to stabilize the wall and prevent any further movement. 

This homeowner in West Terre Haute, Indiana was concerned about his basement walls being constantly damp.  Without a waterproofing system, he was concerned that water would eventually flood into the basement during heavy rains.  While researching reliable home improvement contractors on the Internet, he found Basement Systems of Indiana and quickly reached out to inquire about a free estimate.  

Our Sales Inspector Josh went out to the home in West Terre Haute, Indiana to provide a free inspection of the basement to determine why the walls had been damp and to look for any additional issues.  During the inspection, Josh noticed the humidity and dampness in the basement and recommended installing a waterproofing system that would include a sump pump, floor drainage system, and a wall vapor barrier to prevent water from passing through.  

Our experienced Foreman Sai and his lead installer Edwin oversaw the basement waterproofing process that began with using a jack hammer to dig out a trench for our WaterGuard floor drainage system that is placed above the footer and backfilled with concrete.  The crew then installed a TripleSafe sump pump to ensure that the basement stays dry all the time.  The final piece of the puzzle was the installation of our CleanSpace wall vapor barrier on the basement foundation walls that prevents moisture from passing through.  The process went very smoothly and was completed in just two days, leaving the customer very satisfied with the results of the waterproofing system. 

Homeowner Doug has a gravel crawl space without an encapsulation system that was causing high humidity and mold issues.  He began searching for a reliable company on the internet who provides crawl space repair services and quickly contacted Basement Systems of Indiana.  Our Sales Inspector Jay went to Doug's home in West Terre Haute, Indiana to inspect the crawl space and determine a logical solution.  

During the inspection, Jay noticed significant mold beginning to form on the wooden floor joists and walls due to high humidity.  He informed the homeowner Doug that we would need to encapsulate the crawl space to prevent moisture from escaping and install a dehumidifier for humidity and mold control. Our durable, bright white crawl space liner installs on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. By keeping your crawl space dry, you protect your structure and insulation from mold and rot.
