I was very pleased with their service. Indiana Foundation was very responsive during the project.
Description of Work: A representative first came out to offer suggestions for a do-it-yourself job, but that did not work. I then had him come out to install basement waterproofing.

We have a partial basement and a crawl space that is under our family room and laundry area. We wanted to insulate this space to make those rooms warmer in the winter and reduce our heating bill. This process keeps the space dryer and warmer, reduces radon in the basement and reduces bugs. This process has done all of these things. We had a misunderstanding because we thought they were going to leave the insulation that was already there. They actually took all the insulation out and stated that it was standard procedure, and we were unaware of that. They installed a door that was supposed to cover the crawl space. We assumed that it would be an actual door with hinges and a knob, but it was basically a piece of drywall. The door that they installed was also too small for the opening. I feel that they "sold" us this door when it was unnecessary. I called them and they came back out to take out the door, and they agreed to give us our money back because we were not using the door they had made. They did come out and took the door away, but they did not refund us the money. I finally called 4 months later and they were quick about refunding the money. Apparently there was a glitch. All the workers were professional and very nice. I just feel like the price was very high and they did not make good recommendations. They also put a vent door cover on the outside, and we have had to have that tightened and resealed. We have recently noticed some water with the recent rains, so I called and they came to "re-tape" the liner. They also cut slits in the liner to drain the water and then we had to re-tape those slits. He then said that he would have to charge a service fee if they have to come out again. They are good about coming back for services. I feel the quality of work was good. They were timely, responsive, and professional. However, I feel the price was high and not worth the problems that we have had. This process is a luxury for the house, and we had higher expectations for this project, so we would not do it again.
Description of Work: They encapsulated our crawl space to make it a "clean space."

INDIANA FOUNDATION SERVICE, INC. STRIVES FOR EXCELLENT SERVICE SO WE APPRECIATE THE FEED BACK. IN RETURN, WE WOULD LIKE TO OFFER ONE FREE ANNUAL SERVICE (CHECK UP). SOME CRAWL SPACES MAY REQUIRE A SUMP PUMP OR MAYBE A DRAINAGE SYSTEM. THIS WOULD KEEP THE WATER LEVEL DOWN SO THAT NO WATER WOULD RISE ABOVE THE CLEANSPACE. SINCERELY, JOHN CLARK, GENERAL MANAGER

IT WENT WELL. WE CALLED THEM AFTER A STORM AND OUR POWER WAS OUT FOR TWENTY HOURS. SO WE DECIDED WE NEEDED BACK UP BATTERIES. THEY COULD NOT MAKE IT OUT UNTIL THE WEEK WE HAD PLANNED TO GO ON VACATION BUT THEY REARRANGED THEIR SCHEDULE FOR US. IT TOOK 1-2 HOURS TO DO THE WORK. THEY TOLD ME THE COST ON THE PHONE AND IT WAS RIGHT ON.

I am leaning toward having them do the work because of some of the techniques they use. They came within $100 of the other estimate I received. The guy that came out was very interested in having me understand the work that would be done. His explanation was well done. He was very prompt in arriving for the appointment.
Description of Work: I had them come out and look at the basement foundation because their were fractures and leaks in 3 out of the 4 walls.

When I had them come out to look at the other property, they told me they did not have the materials or capability to do that work. I appreciate that they were nice enough to come out and not charge me for checking out the second property; they were very honest.
Description of Work: They installed a sump pump and also looked at another property and recommended I get a contractor for a structural beam.

John met me at the house we were buying and crawled back into the crawl space to assess the area. He did a great job of explaining the situation and how he determined that everything was fine. I appreciated that he took his time to provide an opinion that didn't lead to any work for them. I would definitely use them on any future foundation issues. They also were able to come out given a one day notice.
Description of Work: They provided an expert opinion to a finding in our inspection report related to the structural soundness of the foundation.

A team of 3 arrived on time and began work after looking over the situation briefly. The job was scheduled to take 2-3 days. However, they found my concrete very hard. After just using the jackhammer 1 day and getting very little done, they decided to bring in an air hammer the next day. It took 2 more days using that to finally get the trench dug. It was very noisy and very dusty work. The 4th day was spent refining the trench, laying in gravel and installing the piping system to the sump pump. At various times during the 4 days, other workers came to help out. Otherwise, the job wouldn't have gotten done when it did.
Description of Work: Installed basement waterproofing system called "WaterGuard" which trenches the entire perimeter of the basement.

They are wonderful. They were a little expensive, but can't imagine anyone else could do it much lower. I had such confidence in their work. I would recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: They gave a prompt estimate. They came out. The workers were very nice. They used a laser to locate where the foundation was sinking. They fixed the issue. They dug down to the footing of the foundation, hydraulically lifted it and then stabilized the house in each area.

Mick was very professional and friendly. He looked at the basement and at the outside corner of the house. He shared ideas on how to help direct water away from the exterior corner of the house and suggested we try those before investing in a more expensive solution. We appreciated his practical advice and were impressed that he didn't try to sell us something that we might not need.
Description of Work: We called because of water leaking in the corner of our basement and we weren't sure what needed to be done.

They did an excellent job. Within the last two months with all the rain and snow our basement is dry as a bone and we can use the room for what is was designed for. The next step will be to remodel the basement. They gave us 6 pages single spaced of references and I picked a few of the names and called them. One family lived up the street. I don't know how they rate on price because with such great references, I didn't shop around. It is worth the money to have a job well-done.

The two men came out quickly, were very congenial and explained to me the issue. They said it was a minor problem and fixed the problem, re-waxing the rod that is secured to the anchor.
Description of Work: I had them come out to repair an anchor they had installed in my wall that has allowing a small leak to come in. This was covered under the 20 year warranty they provided for the original work.

Unfortunately, we were unable to match the floor tile in the family room since it has been discontinued, and decided to go with the company that would do the repairs from the outside of the house instead of the inside to avoid the extra expense and inconvenience of replacing the floor.
Description of Work: They came out to give an estimate on waterproofing our lower level family room. The salesman was very professional. No throwing names around or berating his competitors as the other two companies did. He seemed very knowledgable and personable. Their price was the lowest of the three companies.

The first time the company came out to install the system no one spoke English. Finally after about 45 Min. we found out that one of the men spoke a little English, he explained the job. They finished the job on time and were getting ready to leave when I realized they had not sprayed the chemical that's used to kill mold that we had paid extra for. I had to battle on the phone with the manager to get someone out the next day to spray. Not even a few weeks later we had water in our crawlspace, come to find out they had put the sump pump expel in the wrong place, it was pushing water back into our house. Finally they came out and RIPPED OUT THE WHOLE JOB! After doing that and replacing it, it has been great. They also had to come back in and remove tons of concrete chunks and things they were supposed to remove before putting the system in because it was popping holes in the liner. We never would have known any of this except my hubby and I go in the crawlspace on a regular basis.
Description of Work: Installed encapsulation system. Drain tiles, sump pump, liner, and dehumidifier.
