Basement Waterproofing in Franklin, IN

Review Logo 4.7 (1,518)

A basement is just as vulnerable to damage as a crawl space, if not more so. This below-ground space is cool and damp by nature, and hydrostatic pressure threatens your home's dryness and structural integrity. This happens when silty and clay soils become saturated by water from year-round precipitation (42 inches of rain and 22 inches of snow). This immense force leads to cracking and leaking walls, as well as wet walls and floors, musty odors, mold, efflorescence, and flooding. Keep your basement dry for good with professionally engineered and installed solutions only available from Indiana Foundation Service such as interior drains, sump pumps, backup pumps, dehumidifiers, and wall vapor barriers.

Indiana Foundation Service, a Groundworks Company, helps homeowners in Franklin with their foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete lifting needs. Our top priority is providing high-quality home repair solutions and personalized service in Central and Southern Indiana. With fully trained technicians, industry-leading products, and nationally backed warranties, IFS is here to restore your foundation.

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Franklin

Hydrostatic Pressure

When groundwater accumulates around your foundation, it exerts pressure on basement walls and floors, leading to cracks and water seepage.

Poor Drainage Systems

Inadequate drainage systems fail to divert water away from the foundation, resulting in water accumulation that can compromise structural integrity.

Foundation Cracks

Natural settling or poor construction practices can cause foundation cracks, allowing water to penetrate your basement.

Gutter and Downspout Issues

Improper installation or clogging of gutters and downspouts directs water toward the foundation, exacerbating water infiltration problems.

High Water Table

During heavy rainfall or snowmelt, a high water table exerts pressure against basement walls, causing water to seep through cracks or joints.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive steps to protect your basement from water damage and maintain the integrity of your home.
