"Fernando was incredibly prompt in providing a quote, including recommending things to do immediately versus in the future. Him and his crew were courteous, efficient, and affordable! They were able to install the french drain system in my basement, including fixing some concrete issues, in only 2 days. They were the most affordable company I spoke with and I'm so thrilled to have picked them. I highly recommend them for any basement waterproofing needs."

"Erie home made waterproofing our crawlspace so easy! We have now endured heavy spring rains and zero water has come in. We can see the sump pump sending water out just like it should! They also added storage space to our house because the encapsulation is so nice and clean! Well worth the money."
"Called Hope Plumbing for a leaking sink that the technician (Jarrod) ruled was likely due to hard water buildup. I has assumed this and mentioned we were having an issue with our Softener backing up into the basement. Even though I didn't call them to work on the Softener Jarrod quickly determined a fix for the softener flooding our basement and said a simple Air Gap drain would help prevent it from backing up. He quickly put together a quote that was reasonably priced and within a few hours fixed an issue that had been plaguing us for months. The service was fantastic and I highly recommend joining their membership program for some great benefits!"
"We were pleased with the customer service, skill set and careful attention provided by Indiana Foundation during last week's waterproofing work on our basement. Josh Solomon and Noah Salisbury were diligent in their attention to our questions and concerns, going the extra mile to ensure a quality installation that met our needs. Our basement is already drier and we hope to build it out for a play/rec room soon."
"Very happy with the egress window that was installed in our basement. The company was very attentive to open communication and our needs as customers. The contractors kept me informed and ask for my approval/concerns throughout the project. Work was completed in a timely manner. The work site was kept as neat and organized as possible when digging down several feet into the ground and cutting out a concrete slab from a basement wall. Crossroads Foundation Repair is professional, friendly, and detailed in their work."
"I had received approximately 4 quotes for waterproofing my basement and glad I chose Smart Crawl. I was very pleased with Craig and his crew on their hard work. They completed the job in a timely manner as discussed during the inspection. The guys cleaned up after themselves daily, brooming my kitchen and back porch areas which wasn't necessary but I appreciated it. There was never an issue with communication during the project. I would recommend Smart Crawl for whatever basement/crawl space service they provide. - Amy L."
"Crawl space medic was the best bang for my buck I could?ve spent I got a 10 mil vapor barrier with a dehumidifier for a complete encapsulation. The crew was very professional and polite with a great lead at the head as well as Matt being a great guy and very honest about my crawlspace and what I would need for my price range crawlspace medics of Indianapolis is also veteran owned and proud I will definitely recommend crawlspace medics!!!"
Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
In some circumstances, foundation refacing or repair may be a better option for your home than sealing a foundation. It’s always a good idea to take steps to prevent moisture problems in your foundation, but if there are any structural concerns, those will usually need to be fixed first. When dealing with foundation issues, it’s a good idea to get a professional opinion so you can avoid bigger problems down the road.
Water damage always poses a primary risk of mold and mildew, but growth is not guaranteed. Whether mold develops depends on several factors, including the severity of the water damage and how quickly the area is addressed. To prevent mold, you must act fast—ideally within the first 24 hours. The process involves cleaning up all standing water and thoroughly drying the affected area. If the damage is extensive, the cleanup was delayed, or you suspect mold might be present, it is safest to assume it has grown and contact a professional mold inspector or removal expert to assess the situation.
Make sure you're calling in the right expert to help repair and/or clean your crawl space. A serious issue may require multiple experts that include a local mold remediation pro, an HVAC pro, a foundation pro, and a plumber. You should also consider using a nearby junk removal service to avoid handling debris that could be covered in mold, fungi, rot, or asbestos.
To ensure your basement walls are waterproof, it's crucial to address any existing moisture issues before finishing. Inspect for signs of water seepage, such as dampness or discoloration, and repair any leaks or cracks. Install a vapor barrier to prevent moisture from penetrating the walls, and consider waterproofing paints or coatings.
Proper drainage systems, such as interior or exterior waterproofing, can also be beneficial.
Regular inspections, maintaining proper grading around the foundation, and keeping gutters clear are advisable. Vapor barriers and sealants may need checking for wear after several years.
