Huntingburg, IN Detailed Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair

Job Story – Crawl Space Mold Remediation & Encapsulation | Huntingburg, IN Homeowner

When the homeowner discovered mold growth and became concerned about excess moisture and conditions developing in the crawl space,

they wanted to eliminate existing fungal contamination and improve the crawl space environment with long-term moisture management and insulation improvements,

so they could protect the home’s structure, improve indoor air quality, reduce conditions that support future mold growth, and create a healthier and more efficient home.

Work Completed

To address the underlying moisture conditions and restore the crawl space environment, the project included:

• Performing fungus remediation, including application of cleaning products, scrubbing and wiping affected wood surfaces as necessary, and applying a protective barrier treatment.

• Installing Drainage Matting beneath the CleanSpace® liner to improve moisture management and optimize encapsulation system performance.

• Completing administrative and project coordination services including account setup, utility locates, material ordering, staging, warranty registration, and ongoing support processes.

• Installing SilverGlo® insulation in designated areas according to project specifications to improve thermal performance.

• Sealing crawl space vents from the interior using SilverGlo® insulation and spray foam to reduce uncontrolled air and moisture intrusion.

Desired Outcome

The homeowner now has a cleaner, better-protected crawl space environment designed to:

• Address visible fungal growth and contamination

• Reduce moisture conditions that contribute to mold development

• Improve crawl space performance and environmental control

• Increase insulation and energy efficiency

• Limit outside air infiltration through crawl space vents

• Support healthier conditions throughout the home

A homeowner in Huntingburg, Indiana contacted us after noticing their basement wall had begun to bow inward and develop visible cracks—signs of structural stress that can worsen over time if left unaddressed.

After a thorough inspection, we recommended and implemented a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System to stabilize the compromised wall and help prevent further movement.

To complete the repair, our team:

• Installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors according to the job design, using a 12" x 18" interior wall plate and a 16" x 26" exterior anchor plate positioned below grade. Final placement was adjusted as needed based on site conditions.
• Added 6-foot anchor extensions, securely connected with locking couplers to ensure proper reach and stability.
• Installed Hide-A-Way Anchor Covers inside the basement, providing a clean, finished look while concealing the hardware.
• Carefully excavated soil along the affected exterior wall, then backfilled and tamped the area after installation (with the understanding that minor settling may occur over time).
• Made a best-effort attempt to straighten the wall, recognizing that full restoration depends on existing structural conditions and cannot be guaranteed.
• Applied SentrySeal waterproofing membrane to the exposed exterior wall before backfilling, adding an extra layer of protection (note: this is not a substitute for a full interior drainage system).
• Set up dust containment measures in designated areas to keep the workspace clean and minimize disruption داخل the home.

The result is a significantly stabilized foundation wall, giving the homeowner peace of mind and helping protect the structural integrity of their home for years to come.

The homeowners of this Huntingburg, IN crawlspace were plagued with crawlspace problems--a nasty entry that was drafty and unsecured, a flooding dirt floor with weeping crawlspace walls, a mold problem, and more!

The Healthy Spaces installation team installed 1320 sq ft of CleanSpace over a full perimeter EZ Flow drainage system, complete with SuperSump sump pump.  They installed a durable discharge line with IceGuard protection, and a Turtl crawlspace door.

The crawlspace is now dry and ready for storage and the Turtl crawlspace door can be secured to keep the items inside safe!
