Our Services for You
Foundation Repair
Your home relies on its foundation for stability, but damage is common because of unstable underlying soil. When there is a problem with your foundation, you’ll notice issues such as bowing basement walls, sinking and settlement, sticking doors, and uneven floors.
These signs and their causes can be alarming, but they don’t mean your home is beyond repair. Indiana Foundation Service provides reliable permanent repair solutions that stabilize and protect your home for years to come.
We customize solutions to meet your home’s specific needs. Some of the products we offer include pier systems, wall anchors, wall beams, and carbon fiber straps.
Basement Waterproofing
Wet basements are common in Terre Haute, along with leaking walls, flooding, mold, and other issues. However, they not be considered “normal,” as they impact your home’s health, safety, and structural integrity.
To combat these problems and keep your basement dry, Indiana Foundation Service installs products tailored to meet your basement’s unique challenges. These include interior perimeter drains that intercept leaking water, sump pumps that remove the water, wall vapor barriers that prevent moisture intrusion, and dehumidifiers that control humidity levels.
Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation
Moisture and humidity are your crawl space’s top enemies, as they lead to hazards and nuisances like mold growth, wood rot, musty smells, and increased pests. These are unsightly and unsanitary issues that put your home and family in danger.
As homeowners ourselves, our team at Indiana Foundation Service understands these challenges and how to effectively address them. We use industry-leading products to seal and condition your crawl space.
These permanent crawl space repair and encapsulation solutions include vapor barriers, drainage, sump pumps, thermal insulation panels, and dehumidifiers.
Concrete Lifting
Concrete is used to construct many areas on your property, such as your driveway and sidewalk, because of its durability. However, shrinking and expanding soil underneath slabs leads to cracking, unevenness, and other problems.
Not only are these slabs unsightly, but they can also be a dangerous tripping hazard. When addressed early, non-invasive methods can be used to restore the concrete to its former glory.
Our team uses PolyRenewal™, a cutting-edge solution that is injected under the slabs. This lightweight foam fills voids between the slab and soil, stabilizes the underlying soil, and gently lifts the slabs. The formula is eco-friendly, waterproof, and cures in just 15 minutes.

FAQ
Tree roots don’t directly destroy foundations; instead, they shift soil in their search for moisture, which destabilizes the foundation above. Preventative measures include root barriers, waterproofing, or tree removal, and new trees should always be planted at least 20 feet from your home.
Efflorescence is a white, powdery substance on concrete surfaces like basement walls and floors. Many homeowners confuse efflorescence for mold. Mold is a microorganism, while efflorescence is salt deposits. Efflorescence is not dangerous like mold is, but it could potentially indicate that your concrete is getting wet too frequently.
There are two forms of efflorescence: primary efflorescence and secondary efflorescence. Primary efflorescence is a result of too much moisture in the cement mixture to construct concrete floors and walls. Secondary efflorescence occurs when the concrete is exposed to water.
Efflorescence can be scraped off the concrete. However, if your basement walls have efflorescence stains, it means you have a moisture problem on your hands.
Many people automatically associate pink fluffy rolls with insulation. This fiberglass material is the most commonly used type of insulation throughout homes, but it does not belong in the crawl space. Dampness can easily infiltrate fiberglass, lead to mold growth, harbor pests, and render the insulation ineffective. To stand up to crawl space challenges, the best choice is waterproof and pest-resistant thermal insulation boards made of expanded polystyrene.
Seeing cracking and sinking concrete slabs on your property and around town is common. So common, in fact, that you might not think twice about the consequences of these problems or the need for repair.
However, sunken concrete impacts your home in many ways. Not only do they make your home look bad, but they are safety hazards. Slabs that have sunken and are uneven are tripping hazards for anyone walking or driving over them.
If the sinking concrete in question is part of your basement or slab floor, it also presents foundation concerns. Foundation damage also threatens the safety of your home and loved ones, so having these uneven slabs professionally inspected and repaired is crucial.
